**Opposition in Georgia: A House Divided**
The “United National Movement”, a once-prominent political party in Georgia, has always been known for its internal divisions. However, when it comes to the upcoming local self-government elections, these divisions have reached a boiling point.
In an interview with Interpressnews, MP Guram Macharashvili from the “People’s Power” party offered his take on the opposition’s predicament. According to him, the various factions of the “United National Movement” are unable to come together on even the most basic issues, including their stance on the local elections.
**A Lack of Unity**
Macharashvili pointed out that despite having a single master abroad, each faction has its own intentions and agendas. This lack of unity is not surprising, given the history of infighting and backstabbing within the opposition ranks. As he noted, it’s in their nature to oppose and betray one another.
**Coalition Government? Not So Fast**
When asked about the possibility of a coalition government, Macharashvili was skeptical. With the opposition unable to even make a unified statement on a political issue, how can they possibly expect to govern effectively?
The local elections are no exception. Some factions say they will participate, while others claim they won’t. Others are still undecided or waiting for instructions from their master abroad. This lack of coordination and direction is a clear indication that the opposition is more focused on personal gain than serving the people.
**Doing the Master’s Bidding**
Macharashvili accused the opposition factions of being mere pawns in a larger game. Whatever their master tells them to do before the elections, they will comply. If not, they might just use the excuse that they need to travel to the regions to get ready for the campaign.
In essence, Macharashvili is saying that the opposition is more interested in advancing their own interests than working together for the good of Georgia and its people.
