“Nonviolent revolution, from the Philippines to Poland, has always been based on the consolidation of society; an authoritarian regime is overthrown through unity,” said Tina Bokuchava, Chair of the United National Movement (UNM) party.

According to Tina Bokuchava, the UNM seeks to eliminate the fragmentation which Bidzina Ivanishvili fosters in society and the political spectrum.

“Nonviolent revolutions, from the Philippines to Poland, have always relied on societal consolidation. Peaceful change requires social and political unity, as authoritarian regimes are overthrown through collective solidarity. Historically and globally, spanning the last century to the present, unity remains the key to successful, nonviolent overthrow.

The United National Movement, led by President Mikheil Saakashvili and Georgia’s main opposition to Ivanishvili, overthrew the authoritarian regime through a peaceful revolution in 2003, ushering in significant and beneficial changes for our country. Our objective is to eliminate the fragmentation which Bidzina Ivanishvili benefits from and fosters in society and the political spectrum,” she said.
