Giorgi Vashadze, one of the leaders of the Unity-National Movement, responded to Bidzina Ivanishvili’s recent interview, stating that all of Ivanishvili’s statements indicate he’s well aware of his impending electoral defeat and is anxious about losing his vast wealth.
According to Vashadze, after October 26, Ivanishvili’s government will be removed, leading to rapid reforms, European integration, and national development.
“Bidzina Ivanishvili is done. His time has expired – that’s how we can assess his interview yesterday. Your time is up. Let this country go. You know well that you’ve lost these elections. Your entire speech yesterday proves this – you’re losing these elections, and the sooner you accept this defeat, the better. Every statement Ivanishvili made yesterday indicates he knows he’s losing the elections. Furthermore, he’s nervous about losing his vast wealth, which he wants to use as a bargaining chip after his defeat, nothing more. Regarding the $14 billion, Mr. Bidzina, you know very well that you’re the one blocking Georgia from receiving this prepared aid package, which is why your team is so sensitive about discussing it. Your time is over – on October 26, we will remove your government, move swiftly toward the EU, secure the $14 billion, and advance the country. Your term has expired. Stop with the absurd talks – we won’t go into details about the thousand nonsensical things we heard yesterday, but a brief summary of your interview is that you know you’re losing, your time is up, your term has expired, let Georgia go forward toward the EU,” Vashadze declared.
Giorgi Vashadze urged public participation in the October 26 elections.
“I’m telling the public, we need maximum turnout on the 26th to achieve a great victory and move quickly toward the EU. The $14 billion aid package awaits us, along with visa-free travel to America, major development, construction, and reforms – but now the main thing is to remove Ivanishvili and the Georgian Dream in this referendum on October 26 and move toward Europe, toward a great victory,” Vashadze stated.
