I don’t know what will happen on October 4, but we must do everything to ensure that we are all selflessly engaged in the struggle at any stage, – said Khatia Dekanoidze, one of the leaders of the National Movement.
Dekanoidze spoke on PalitraNews about the statement made by the leader of Gakharia for Georgia, Giorgi Gakharia, in which he noted that he does not rule out that 12 members of his team will enjoy mandates in the Georgian Parliament.
According to Dekanoidze, Gakharia’s decision cannot determine the future of the country.
“I don’t know what Gakharia will do. I can say that this will not decide the fate of the Georgian people. The future will be determined by how we mobilize. Actions are of great importance. You know, September 13, and also October 4 are coming, these are very important dates, a lot of people are waiting for them.
I don’t know what will happen on October 4, but we must do everything to ensure that we are all self-sacrificing at any stage of the struggle. It is necessary to come out every day, every day. We can and indeed it is necessary to sacrifice ourselves. No one can do anything if people are not sufficiently inspired and motivated,” Dekanoidze said.
She believes that the current Parliament has no legitimacy and this situation will not change even if representatives of Giorgi Gakharia’s party join it.
According to her, such a step by Gakharia’s team would be a very bad signal and would add to the desire for possible cooperation with the Georgian Dream and the legitimacy of the ruling power.
“This Parliament will not be legitimized. It will not happen even if several representatives of Giorgi Gakharia’s party are added to it. The international community around the world is in agreement that this Parliament is illegitimate, a sham. I do not see any sign of legitimacy, even if a few people are added. If they take this step, it will be very bad. This will be proof that cooperation with the Georgian Dream and the desire to provide legitimacy are still the main driving force.
I consider participation in the local self-government elections to be a very big mistake. This is precisely what caused the fragmentation of the opposition, because there were different opinions,” Dekanoidze said.
