A revolution in Georgia is inevitable, but unlike in 2003, it will not be a party-led revolution, – Georgia’s third president, Mikheil Saakashvili, writes on his Facebook page.
As Saakashvili notes, “The core of the protest in Georgia is Gen Z, and this force will definitely not take into account the intrigues and narrow interests of some politicians.”
“It is as clear as day to me what is happening on the parties’ flank. Two parties are trying to remain the oligarch’s loyal ‘opposition’ and to push aside those political parties that are fighting to remove Ivanishvili. One of these loyal parties has financial levers. If you look at the TV stations, you will notice that recently, much more often than before, representatives of the United National Movement are being invited (which pleases me greatly), and they are asked the same questions – ‘Do you take responsibility for the defeat?’ ‘What will happen if everything doesn’t end on the 4th?’ Naturally, these are legitimate questions, but their constant repetition clearly shows that the ‘loyal opposition’ is entirely counting on the failure of the protest movement and the discrediting of rival parties. In other words, they are placing all their bets on the survival of the Russian regime. How moral this position is – you can judge for yourselves. A revolution in Georgia is inevitable, but unlike in 2003, it will not be a party-led revolution. In the modern era, every successful revolution (Nepal, Madagascar, the ongoing Serbian protest) has been carried out by Gen Z, and in Georgia too, the core of the protest is Gen Z, and this force will definitely not take into account the intrigues and narrow interests of some politicians.” – Saakashvili writes on social media.
