Jailed ex-president: It is time to open your eyes and acknowledge that, because of your confrontation with me, you have no supporters left, except for your own small groups

“In an ordinary political situation and election environment, I would have managed to come with the majority predominantly with the youth team, but now we are on the verge of extinction, and it is not time to count ratings,” wrote jailed ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili in his Facebook post.

According to Saakashvili, the choice is between unification and extinction.

“Representatives of opposition parties were told by American and European experts and politicians at the International Republican Institute (IRI) Conference in Lithuania that unification was the only chance to survive. They rejected this, saying their supporters did not want to be with Misha.

It is high time to open your eyes and acknowledge that, because of your confrontation with me, you have no supporters left, except for your own small groups. Besides, I have been urging unification for years, but you avoid me and see me, instead of Ivanishvili, as the main problem.

In an ordinary political situation and election environment, I would have managed to come with the majority predominantly with the youth team, but now the country is on the verge of extinction, and it is not time to count ratings. This is a matter of choice to be made between unification over the common deed or extinction,” he said.
