Badri Japaridze: Unfortunately, some colleagues publicly declared that a boycott was the only correct decision without having coordinated that position with us. I believe that if we all enter the fight together, we will win
Badri Japaridze: If we can be dragged to court for allegedly not showing up to a vague commission’s invitation, then why is Tea Tsulukiani privileged? — Tea Tsulukiani must be questioned!
Badri Japaridze: “Georgian Dream” is killing justice, democracy, and any civilized norms – “political abductions” and selective justice cannot coexist with a European future
Badri Japaridze on the attack on Grigol Gegelia: It is alarming that Ivanishvili, Kobakhidze, Papuashvili, and others encourage this kind of violence and sow hatred toward people with different opinions - That’s why they are directly responsible
Badri Japaridze: Zurab Girchi Japaridze has been added to the list of prisoners of conscience - no repression can interfere with the unwavering will of freedom-loving people to defend the independence of their country
Zurab Japaridze: The heavy police presence near the court clearly indicates they are planning something – I don’t rule out imprisonment
Saba Buadze: Our leaders do not believe that their imprisonment will weaken the regime — The regime will face a bigger problem when our leaders are free. Therefore, reducing the issue of bail to a question of consistency is simply harmful
Badri Japaridze: The prosecutor's office and the court specifically refused to interrogate as witnesses the people who demanded my criminal liability - this interrogation will once again reveal how the rule of law has been trampled
Davit Matikashvili: Everyone who violates the law will be held accountable - will they not pay bail? They will share the same fate as those who did not pay
Badri Japaridze: We are seeing direct retaliation against political opponents, which is being carried out by this very so-called investigative commission that was created by trampling the law
Salome Samadashvili: Everyone understands how absurd it is that Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze were the first to be summoned to the so-called commission investigating the governance of the National Movement
Leaders of "Lelo: for a Strong Georgia" are meeting with local residents, representatives of the protest community, and supporters of the coalition in Samegrelo
Lelo - Strong Georgia demands that Tea Tsulukiani and members of temporary investigative commission be questioned before a magistrate judge
Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze demanding questioning of Tea Tsulukiani as a witness
Badri Japaridze: An agreement on new elections is essential, and the founder of "Georgian Dream" must realize this – we are gradually getting closer to it, and I have no doubt that it must happen
Salome Zurabishvili met with opposition party representatives
Irakli Okruashvili on the charges: I hope, unlike Badri Japaridze and Mamuka Khazaradze, they will give me a 'small discount' – Even birds don’t build nests today, but it seems the authorities are working with a different calendar
Irakli Kupradze: The political persecution against the leaders of "Strong Georgia" continues, but no matter how events unfold, we will continue the fight against Ivanishvili's Russian regime
Oleksii Reznikov - Russia, in reality, is a paper tiger
A Korean tamada: Opening of the Korean Embassy in Tbilisi
Israeli Ambassador to Georgia - Our strategy is not to have Hamas controlling the Gaza Strip - Unfortunately, the UN cooperates with Hamas, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch work in favor of Hamas
