“Ultimately, the entire radical opposition is one force, which we call the collective National Movement,” Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told journalists.

According to Kobakhidze, in reality, there is no difference between them, only tactical variations.

“Regarding their attitude towards the elections, it is clear there are two parties that participate in the elections, and there are two parties that declare participation in elections as treachery. Naturally, they have their own subjective interests. One of the reasons why the October 4 protest rally was announced by the United National Movement and its second offshoot is that they want Lelo and Gakharia’s parties to receive as few votes as possible. There are subjective interests here, but ultimately, everyone has the same master.

Consequently, it is not surprising that, however much they may have differences, tactical or subjective, ultimately, their master still brings these parties together. Naturally, this will happen on October 4 as well, though they have absolutely no chance of success in any form,” declared Irakli Kobakhidze.

Irakli Kobakhidze says everyone can assemble, but lawbreakers will face appropriate consequences.

According to the Head of Government, if anyone’s hand slips towards breaking the law, everyone will witness the strength of the security structures’ new management.

“October 4, including both the elections and the rally, will pass very peacefully. The main thing is that no one should contemplate breaking the law. If someone’s hand does slip, they will see the true strength of the new system, the new leadership. I advise no one to do this. If anyone’s hand slips towards breaking the law, everyone will witness the strength of the security structures’ new management. My humble advice is not to let your hand slip,” the Prime Minister declared.
