Edison Research: If the parliamentary elections were held tomorrow, 34% of the respondents would vote for "Georgian Dream", 19.2% - "Unity: National Democratic Party, strategy of building, European Georgia", 10.6% - "For Georgia - Giorgi Gakharia"
Beka Liluashvili: The international arbitration court put an end to the Anaklia port case - Mamuka Khazaradze lost the dispute, it will be difficult for him, but he will have to admit it
Vakhtang Megrelishvili: If the figures presented by Edison Research were to be reliable, today the opposition should meet, celebrate and agree on who will be the minister in the next government and who will remain in the parliament
Beka Liluashvili: We will run for the elections only with our party identity, but this does not mean that our door is closed - the party has negotiations with former members of Georgian Dream
Mamuka Khazaradze: I had a personal conflict with Elisashvili, and I am not satisfied with Gakharia's answers, if anyone is satisfied, let them sign an alliance with him - for me, the content is of great importance and I will not betray the principle
Mamuka Mdinaradze: Most likely, Gakharia will be instructed to join Lelo, because with the current configuration, Lelo will not be able to approach the 5% threshold
Ana Buchukuri: Reports about the possible unification of Gakharia for Georgia party and Lelo is a lie
Mikheil Daushvili: We only welcome cooperation with the President, including for the election - I have no information about whether she is going to create any unity with us
Giorgi Gakharia: Statement by Josep Borrell today is the result of Georgian Dream’s treasonous policy
Davit Matikashvili: These people had been calling each other "fraudsters", today one part wants to have a relationship and contact with the other
Ana Buchukuri: Our strategy is that the National Movement and Georgian Dream do not take more than 50% in total in these elections
Giorgi Gakharia: the more people come to the elections, the fewer votes "Georgian Dream" will steal - at this stage, we will continue the election campaign independently
Giorgi Gakharia: Georgian Dream has already started the process of rigging elections, but they will not achieve results
Giorgi Gakharia: It is extremely unfortunate that we have reached an extremely damaging edge in our relations with our strategic partners
People's Power: Foreign ministers of four EU member states are coming to Georgia, whose goal is the growth of radicalism and interference in the country's internal affairs - the government should discuss whether these politicians deserve to be allowed into the country
Giorgi Gakharia: The Georgian Dream plans to declare its opposing citizens as enemies - the weak and corrupt Government has become Moscow's "useful idiot"
Levan Khabeishvili: It will end badly for the government, I feel sorry for them - history will surely preserve their conversations, attitude and betrayal of the state
Giorgi Gakharia: I just advised Kakha Kaladze to focus on football or help himself, he did not understand, his choice is clear
Robin Wagener - With the law on "transparency of foreign influence", there will be no EU membership - No chance for that
Estonian Ambassador to Georgia - If we want EU membership, we should all play by the rules - The Georgian Government on the one hand says that they are moving closer to the EU, but their actions do not prove that
