“Presenting new initiatives ahead of the talks is not right,” the opposition Strategy Aghmashenebeli leader, Giorgi Vashadze, briefed Georgian Public Broadcaster on Monday.

“We do not see any real steps or messages from the Georgian Dream showing their readiness to discuss any new topic in the negotiation process. Therefore, I think it’s wrong for the opposition to present new initiatives. We have already offered several compromise proposals, snap elections, plebiscite, etc.,” Vashadze said.

The opposition leader noted that he could not meet Girchi and Citizens members as he is in self-isolation. He also added that a wide format is more suitable for the discussion of similar issues.

Earlier, one of the Girchi leaders, Iago Khvichia, said the opposition should benefit from the local self-government elections to serve as a plebiscite. Khvichia added that Girchi would hold talks with all opposition parties and the government to hear counter-arguments regarding this idea.
