Tina Bokuchava, chair of the United National Movement, criticized the parliamentary commission, calling it “Ivanishvili’s Russian commission” and highlighting its selective approach.

Bokuchava stated that the commission aims to distract from ongoing protests and attempts to rewrite history through a pro-Russian narrative.

“The first politician summoned by Ivanishvili’s Russian commission was, unsurprisingly, a member of the United National Movement—our party’s Foreign Secretary, Zurab Chiaberashvili. I had the honor of working with him in 2010 at Georgia’s Permanent Mission to the UN in Geneva.

Zura is one of the most hardworking and dedicated public servants I’ve met. Arrested on political grounds in 2013, he now faces renewed threats for refusing to cooperate with the Russian commission. When discussing societal consolidation, solidarity must not be one-sided or selective.

I dislike half-truths. Yes, this commission aims to divert attention from protests, but it also seeks to rewrite history through a Russian lens. Why hesitate to say so? It attempts to distort Georgia’s most successful state-building years under the National Movement, vilify President Mikheil Saakashvili, and push Russian propaganda onto our people.

As long as party leadership restricts itself to half-truths, Bidzina will always win—because the gaps will be filled with Russian lies. I hope all opposition forces recognize this.

Glory to Georgia! Freedom to Misha!” Bokuchava wrote on the social network.
