**Unity and Cooperation Key to Defeating Regime in Georgia**
A letter from Giorgi Vashadze, the leader of “Strategy Aghmashenebeli,” who is currently in prison, has highlighted the importance of unity and cooperation among opposition parties in defeating the regime in Georgia. The letter was published on his Facebook page and emphasizes that relentless resistance and unity are essential for a successful fight against the oppressive government.
Vashadze notes that the path to victory lies through unity, a joint action plan, and mutual respect. He stresses that the main fight should be against their common enemy, the “Georgian Dream” regime, rather than among themselves. The letter also points out that society sees this confrontation and loses hope that the opposition truly represents a strong alternative.
**Understanding the Reality of Local Self-Government Elections**
The letter also addresses the recent local self-government elections in Georgia, which Vashadze calls a “farce.” He explains that the regime has lost its legitimacy to hold such elections due to various reasons, including:
* The absolute majority of opposition parties do not recognize this process and are not participating;
* The electoral environment is so degraded that elements of competition, fairness, or trust no longer exist;
* International observation missions, including those from the OSCE, are completely excluded from the process;
* Resolutions from the European Parliament, the Council of Europe, and the OSCE unequivocally indicate that the only way out of the crisis in the country is through new parliamentary elections;
* Georgia has political prisoners, including party leaders; and
* During the last visit to Brussels, where practically all parties were represented, it became clear that the so-called local self-government elections have no substantive significance for international partners.
**Creating a Joint Decision-Making Mechanism**
Vashadze calls on opposition parties to create a joint decision-making mechanism to address key questions:
* How do we continue the fight given this situation?
* How do we achieve real unity—not just in words, but in deeds?
* How do we create a powerful alternative that will make our resistance even more organized and accelerate our victory?
**Conclusion**
The letter concludes by emphasizing that it is time to close this phase, learn from it so that they do not face a similar situation in the future, and work towards creating a joint decision-making mechanism. The path to victory lies through unity, a joint action plan, and mutual respect. The only way out of the crisis is new, fair parliamentary elections! This country belongs to us, not to Ivanishvili’s oppressive regime!
