Strong Georgia's Khazaradze: Protests needed for new elections and 'people's parliament' with Zourabichvili as honorary chair
Achieving new elections requires continuing permanent protests, delegitimizing the current parliament, forming a “People’s Parliament” with President Zourabichvili as honorary chairperson, developing an action plan, sending delegations to Western allies, and strengthening support, writes Mamuka Khazaradze, leader of the Strong Georgia coalition, on social media.
To achieve new elections, we need:
1. Continuation of permanent street protests in various forms across different geographical locations, both in Tbilisi and throughout Georgia;
2. Delegitimizing the parliament, which involves individual opposition MPs submitting statements denouncing their mandates. Additionally, four opposition parties should withdraw their electoral lists;
3. Formation of a ‘People’s Parliament’ by elected opposition members, inviting President Zourabichvili to serve as honorary chairperson, thus creating a real, national political centre;
4. Development of an action plan for the ‘People’s Parliament’;
5. Sending a delegation from the ‘People’s Parliament’ to our Western friends to strengthen their support,” Mamuka Khazaradze writes on Facebook.
