**Georgia’s Opposition Unites Against Russian Regime**
In a bold move, the Lelo-Strong Georgia party and the Gakharia for Georgia party have agreed to cooperate on local elections. This union is a significant step towards unifying the opposition against the ruling Georgian Dream party and its alleged ties with Russia.
At a joint briefing today, Irakli Kupradze, Secretary General of the Lelo-Strong Georgia party, emphasized that their struggle against the Russian regime will be uncompromising. He expressed hope for the citizens of Georgia, who have been suffering under the rule of Georgian Dream and its connections to Russia.
Kupradze accused the Georgian Dream party of impoverishing the people, betraying national interests, and engaging in special operations against citizens every day. He called on all opposition parties and civil groups to join forces and fight against Ivanishvili, the leader of the Georgian Dream party, on all fronts.
The memorandum on cooperation between the two parties was signed today by Berdia Sichinava, Executive Secretary of Gakharia for Georgia, and Irakli Kupradze. This agreement reflects the demand of citizens to see a united opposition against the ruling party.
**Key Points from the Memorandum:**
* The Lelo-Strong Georgia party and the Gakharia for Georgia party will cooperate on local elections.
* They will fight against Ivanishvili’s Russian regime in all fields, without competition or exclusion.
* They will support independent, neutral non-partisan candidates as mayors and majoritarian candidates.
* They demand new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners, including Mamuka Khazaradze and Badri Japaridze.
**Analysis:**
This cooperation between two opposition parties is a significant development in Georgian politics. It shows that despite differences in strategy, opposition groups can come together to fight against a common enemy – the Russian regime and its alleged ties with the Georgian Dream party.
Kupradze’s statement that they are not afraid of pressure or threats from the Georgian Dream party demonstrates their determination to stand up for what is right. The fact that they are ready to support independent candidates as mayors and majoritarian candidates shows their commitment to promoting genuine democracy.
This union can be a game-changer in the upcoming local elections and may pave the way for a stronger opposition in the future. As Kupradze said, “We have hope for the citizens of Georgia.” It remains to be seen how this cooperation will unfold, but one thing is certain – the people of Georgia are demanding change.
