“We, the pro-Western opposition parties, join the European march announced by the Georgian non-governmental organizations on April 28 and invite Georgian citizens to once again peacefully and clearly say Yes to Europe and No to Russian Law.

We appreciate the NGO sector’s position to refuse to register in the dignity tarnishing list and rejection to cooperate with the government before the withdrawal of the Russian law, reads the statement of 6 opposition parties.”

Based on the statement, the opposition parties are preparing for the Transparency of Foreign Influence bill’s second hearing with joint efforts and coordination to “resist it.”

“The April 29 gathering of the Georgian Dream, where public service employees will be brought to Tbilisi against their will, is insulting these people, their use by the Russian government against our common European future and clear provocation towards sincere and peaceful protesters, whose non-stop rallies have comprised Tbilisi streets for ten days.

We appeal to the public servants. We acknowledge the scales of political pressure that the Georgian Dream applies. However, this is the moment when each of you should make the right choice – do not follow the Russian government’s instructions and do not become Ivanishvili’s shield in the struggle against our country’s European future.

On April 29, Ivanishvili’s gathering aimed to divide Georgian people and create a false picture that two camps exist in Georgia regarding Russian law. We realize the significance of society’s unity and will never admit the Kremlin’s dream scenario to split and divide our people. With joint forces and coordination, we prepare to resist the Russian Law’s second hearing when we have to firmly say Yes to Europe, No to Russian Law and No to the Russian government,” reads the statement signed by Ahali Party, Girchi-For More Freedom, Droa, United National Movement (UNM), Republican Party and Strategy Aghmashenebeli.
