The opposition intends to cooperate to break Georgia's deadlock

The Georgian opposition considers the amendments to the Constitution approved by the Georgian Parliament to be its own merit and merit of its activists and Western friends and intends to continue to work closely to break Georgia out of the political and economic impasse that the current Government has brought it to. This is stated in a special statement, which was distributed on July 2 by 19 opposition parties. The list is led by the United National Movement and European Georgia, which, despite superficial disagreements, generally represent two wings of the same party, as well as numerous satellites and offshoots of the UNM, such as Girchi, New Georgia, which defeated Georgia. In the same list, the party "State for the People" created by opera singer Paata Burchuladze and the party of bankers Mamuki Hazaradze and Badri Japaridze Lelo. They were joined by Nino Burjanadze with her Democratic Movement, Free Democrats, the Labor Party and others. Despite the fact that Ivanishvili did everything to prevent this, the democratization process, begun after Gavrilov's night, gave its result. This result guarantees for Georgian citizens that the government that came to power after the defeat of Ivanishvili will not remain uncontrolled. Bidzina Ivanishvili once again plunged himself into a comic position, when he declared the transition to a proportional electoral model a victory over the opposition and called the result achieved with the help of international friends and the firm will of the Georgian people his own desire, the statement said. The signatory parties insist on the full implementation of the agreement of March 8, the cessation of the use of justice for political purposes, and the issue of the release of their associate George Rurua is called a fundamental issue. Together with the active civil movement, unity and the firm position of the democratic opposition played a significant role in achieving proportional elections. The way we have achieved proportional elections, an example for future cooperation and consolidation, which is indispensable for bringing Georgia out of the economic and political impasse. Despite the significant differences between us, it is with this responsibility that we are going to begin a further political process, the joint statement said. Recall that the amendments to the Constitution provided for by the agreement of March 8, the Parliament of Georgia adopted without the participation of the factions of the National Movement and European Georgia. This agreement was reached as a result of negotiations between the ruling party and the opposition, the initiators and facilitators of which were the ambassadors of the United States, the EU and the EU countries.
