European Georgia Joins Forces with Unity - National Movement

The European Georgia coalition has officially joined the Unity - National Movement, as confirmed during the National Movement's congress.

Gigi Tsereteli, a member of European Georgia, emphasized that this is not about parties merging, but rather forming a coalition. "It's not a party joining a party; it's a coalition. This is what our society is demanding. Without this kind of unity, it will be very difficult to achieve victory and change in October," Tsereteli said.

Additionally, the National Movement announced the creation of a national committee, which will be led by Koba Nakopia. His candidacy was approved at a session of the Political Council.

These developments come after changes in European Georgia, including the departure of Giga Bokeria as chairman on August 1 and the founding of a new party, Federalists, on August 15.



Republican Party and Activists for the Future Join Coalition for Change

The Republican Party and the Activists for the Future organization have officially joined the Coalition for Change, which includes the Ahali, Girchi, and Droa parties.

Khatuna Samnidze, leader of the Republican Party, highlighted the importance of a coalition government for Georgia's future. "There will be peace, prosperity, and progress in the country when we change this government on October 26 and ensure a coalition government. Since its foundation, the Republican Party has emphasized multipartyism as a priority for the country. Now, we face the reality that the country should be governed through multi party coalitions, based on dialogue and consensus. I stand with people with whom we can discuss, argue, agree, and manage the country together, ensuring that the people are the main focus," said Samnidze.

Oktai Kazumov, representing the Activists for the Future organization, emphasized the importance of diversity in Georgia. "In the future, every citizen of Georgia, regardless of their ethnic and religious background, should contribute to the creation of Georgian culture. They should strive and create to represent our country as it is today," Kazumov stated.
