**Georgia’s President Sees the Writing on the Wall**
Georgian Dream, the ruling party in Georgia, is currently in a state of high paranoia. This is a classic indicator that their regime is coming to an end, according to the country’s fifth President, Salome Zurabishvili.
Speaking at a press conference, President Zurabishvili said that the mental state of Georgian Dream shows that they are not well internally. “Their persistent repression for nothing is a sign that this regime itself is not well,” she stated.
**A Paranoid State is a Classic Indicator of Regime Change**
When asked if she thought she would be summoned by a temporary investigative commission, President Zurabishvili was characteristically forthright. “Would you rule it out?” she replied, wryly. “No one can rule it out.” She went on to explain that this kind of state is a classic indicator of the final stage of a regime.
President Zurabishvili’s comments suggest that Georgian Dream’s attempts to silence opposition voices are having the opposite effect – creating fear and uncertainty among citizens, rather than quashing dissent. “A kind of fear has also settled in some parts of society,” she noted.
**The Path Forward: Continued Protests and Unity**
So what does President Zurabishvili think lies ahead? In short, she believes there are only two ways out for Georgia’s opposition: to continue peaceful protests or to unite behind a single strategy. “We will meet today and set a strategy,” she said.
While it may be tempting to speculate about the future, one thing is clear – Georgian Dream’s attempts to maintain control through repression have failed to silence the voices of dissent. As President Zurabishvili noted, endurance in these moments of volatility is not easy, especially for young people and those who are already protesting on the streets.
**What Next?**
As Georgia’s political landscape continues to shift, it will be interesting to see how Georgian Dream responds to growing pressure from citizens and opposition leaders. One thing is certain: President Zurabishvili’s comments suggest that this regime change will not happen quietly or without resistance.
