\u201cThis parliament will not have our legitimacy. How we proceed with this is nobody\u2019s business,\u201d declared Giorgi Gakharia, Chair of the For Georgia party, during today\u2019s briefing.<\/p>\n
Gakharia emphasized that For Georgia party maintains a pragmatic stance and will not yield to any pressure.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegarding mandates, the current parliament will not carry our legitimacy. As for how we proceed, that is our concern alone. We will not be pressured by either the United National Movement (UNM) or the Georgian Dream (GD), despite attempts from both sides. I advise them to focus on their own affairs. I remember very well the events of the 2020 elections, how certain individuals were sworn in, accepted their mandates, and entered parliament. If those same people are now advising others, they should first reflect on their own actions. Our position is clear: we will not be swayed by pressure from either the UNM or GD, and we will not allow them to assert control,\u201d Gakharia stated.<\/p>\n
Regarding funding, Gakharia expressed indifference toward the statements of other opposition parties. He questioned the source of significant financial resources for certain opposition groups emerging just before the elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will not offer advice on this matter; it is not my concern. However, I believe financing is not merely a political issue; it is crucial for the country\u2019s survival, elections, democracy, and European future. Everyone has their own reasons for their decisions. As for us, we are the only political party blocked from all funding channels. If you want to know about financing, direct your inquiries to those opposition parties that suddenly gained millions just a month before the elections. I have strong suspicions about the origins of that money and suggest you investigate it. When we say we will not grant legitimacy, it includes rejecting any such funding. How we proceed with this is nobody\u2019s business, especially not those opposition parties that should be concentrating on their own challenges,\u201d Gakharia concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
