MP Kadagishvili: Past six years were exceptionally tough for Georgia, but we successfully defended state sovereignty

“Regrettably, since regaining independence, democratic processes in Georgia have not always aligned with true democratic standards; we vividly recall both the civil war and a whole wave of colour revolutions. A colour revolution represents a shift driven not purely through the ballot box, but through revolutionary engineering and artificially engineered external scenarios,” stated MP Irakli Kadagishvili, Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Self-Government.

Kadagishvili noted that the initial attempt at such political engineering was the so-called Rose Revolution.

“In its wake, many harboured a renewed desire to ensure that Georgia’s national trajectory would be dictated not by democratic election outcomes, but through manipulation, hybrid warfare tactics, and various colour revolution blueprints. So-called non-governmental organisations were deployed precisely for this purpose; their operational scope went far beyond their declared mandates, shifting in one form or another towards orchestrating revolutionary conditions. This was tightly integrated with political parties slated for installation in power, a full-scale execution of a script authored abroad, with these actors serving merely as instruments of implementation.

Any state determined to safeguard its sovereignty is duty-bound to prevent the execution of externally commissioned agendas. Achieving this necessitates a robust statutory and legislative framework. The past six years have proven exceptionally challenging for Georgia, yet we have successfully protected and consolidated our national sovereignty. This is genuine democracy, rather than ‘democratic processes’ engineered through hybrid warfare technologies,” Kadagishvili concluded.
