“Lelo will participate in Georgian politics independently, as a genuine, formidable political force, stated Salome Samadashvili, a member of Lelo.

According to Samadashvili, the Georgian people need political change.

“It is very difficult for representatives of the illegitimate government to admit that the reason they can no longer effectively govern the country, and that every day of the Georgian Dream administration has become an increasingly insurmountable deadlock for Georgia, is because this political force has lost the trust of the Georgian people. The Georgian people require political change. That is why we firmly believe that Lelo will definitely succeed, as our main allies in the fight against the Russian regime are the Georgian people and our fellow citizens, a fact that, apparently, Ivanishvili is very afraid of. He truly does not want Lelo to exist as an independent political actor. This is evidenced by the statement from his representative, Kobakhidze, suggesting that Lelo intends to join any political union, despite our clear position: Lelo will compete in Georgian politics independently, as an autonomous, strong force,” Samadashvili explained.
