**Georgia’s Prime Minister Accuses Opposition of Working Against National Interests**

In a recent statement, Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze accused the opposition of continuing to work against the country’s national interests. This comes after Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili mentioned that some politicians are now actively lobbying for the suspension of visa-free travel as a way to harm Georgia.

According to Kobakhidze, this is not a new phenomenon. He pointed out that in the past, when the opposition was in power from 2003 to 2012, they also lobbied against candidate status and negotiations with the European Union. They even obstructed the work of working groups during that time.

**The Opposition’s Reputation is in Shambles**

Kobakhidze stated that the public has made its assessment of the opposition’s actions, and it’s not a good one. He noted that on October 26, 2024, voters gave a harsh response to the radical opposition at the polling stations. This suggests that people have lost trust in these politicians.

**The Fate of Agents Who Betray Their Country**

Kobakhidze went on to say that when agents are tasked with directly opposing their own country’s national interests, they ultimately suffer a loss of reputation and credibility. He emphasized that this is the fate of such individuals, and it’s a regrettable reality.
