The Opposition Alliance meeting with civil society in Georgia. @DroaParty @ahaliparty @LTsutskiridze @FederalistsGEO @vashadze_giorgi @CoalitionGEO @EuropeanGeorgia @UNMGeorgia

JUST IN: Opposition Alliance launched in Georgia. Today, Georgian democratic parties form Oppostion Alliance and agree on a joint strategy for victory, we well as rules of cooperation. The Alliance aims to liberate Georgia from the autocratic regime of Bidzina Ivanishvili, to restore the country’s Euro-Atlantic course and, therefore, to save Georgia’s national independence and statehood. The member parties of the Alliance are: Ahali, Girchi – More Freedom, Droa, European Georgia, National Democratic Party, United National Movement, Freedom Square, Strategy Agmashenebeli, and the Federalists. The Opposition Alliance agreed that there’s an ongoing existential struggle over Georgia’s historical and civilizational choice, which will decide which side of the “Iron Curtain” the Georgian people will find themselves on for the next decades. The strategic goal of the Opposition Alliance is to mobilize the vast majority of society for peaceful protest and dismantling the regime. The main principles of the agreement are: • Unity without uniformity: the parties maintain their ideological identity, but agree on a unified communication and protest strategy; • Democratic alternative: the Alliance agrees that only a democratic alternative focused on the interests of citizens will defeat the autocratic regime; • Ways to achieve the goal: expand the protest, strengthen international pressure and offer a democratic, credible alternative to the Georgian people; • Code of conduct and responsibility: the most important part of the document is the code of conduct, which regulates the rules of cooperation between the signatory parties to ensure strong unity; The parties recognize each other as equal partners and agree that coordinated action to achieve a common goal is a strategic necessity. The Opposition Alliance swears to fight until the end — until the release of political prisoners and the achievement of free and fair elections. The Alliance representatives state that doors are open for other parties as well, including Lelo, which has been preferring an individual approach. @ahaliparty @DroaParty @GIRCHIMF @CoalitionGEO @UNMGeorgia @EuropeanGeorgia @FederalistsGEO @vashadze_giorgi @LTsutskiridze #GeorgiaProtests

"A recent BBC investigation has recently presented serious evidence that the Georgian Dream (GD) illegitimate government used prohibited chemical substances during its violent dispersal of peaceful protests back in 2024. If confirmed, this would constitute a severe violation of international norms, human rights obligations, and Georgia’s commitments under international conventions. In a country where all state institutions are subordinated to a single political party, an impartial internal investigation is unrealistic. The authorities have shown no intention to ensure transparency or invite international scrutiny—steps that any accountable government would take in the face of such accusations. We, the democratic opposition parties in Georgia, call for an independent international inquiry, conducted by credible international bodies, to establish the facts, determine accountability, and prevent any further use of such substances. We also call on our international partners to consider introducing temporary restrictions on the transfer of any specialized equipment or means that could be used in violation of international standards and against the civilian population. Imposing such restrictions on the Georgian Dream's illegitimate government would serve as a preventive measure and would significantly reduce the risk of further grave human rights abuses. In coordination with democratic partners and experts, we are already working to document all relevant information and provide it to the appropriate international institutions. Our shared goal is clear: to prevent any continued or future use of these substances before a change of government occurs, should the findings of the BBC investigation be confirmed. Until full clarity is established, strong, coordinated international response is essential. Decisive external pressure would ensure that the regime fully understands the consequences of actions that endanger its own citizens."

🇬🇪🗝️ | As part of the broader crackdown on freedom of expression and the criminalization of peaceful #GeorgiaProtests, the regime has arrested Federalist Party leaders Tengo Kirtadze and Giorgi Sikharulidze.

Today, police are carrying out mass arrests of those who participated in yesterday’s #GeorgiaProtests. Among those detained is Tengo Kirtadze, one of the leaders of the @FederalistsGEO party.

Eight Georgian pro-democratic forces, united in their opposition to the Russian-backed regime, issued a joint statement rejecting participation in local elections and pledging to intensify their collective efforts to dismantle the undemocratic system and advance Georgia’s European and NATO integration. Full statement: “We, the pro-Western political parties and groups of Georgia, whose goal is the complete dismantling of Ivanishvili’s Russian regime, the protection of Georgia’s independence and sovereignty, the establishment of a European-style democratic governance, the creation of a safe environment and opportunities for a dignified life for our citizens, and Georgia’s integration into the European Union and NATO, jointly declare: 1. We refuse to participate in the so-called local self-government elections, as we believe that, in the current reality, participation in this process does not serve the interests of our citizens and would only provide a façade of legitimacy to the illegitimate Russian regime. 2. We recognize the necessity of collective action and declare that we will do everything in our power to accelerate the end of the undemocratic, oligarchic system through our principled, uncompromising struggle and efforts. We believe that the path to victory lies in complete non-cooperation with the regime. Together with the citizens of Georgia, we continue our shared national resistance. Until the end!” Parties: Freedom Square @EuropeanGeorgia @UNMGeorgia Strategy Aghmashenebeli @ahaliparty @GIRCHIMF @DroaParty @FederalistsGEO

This unconstitutional assault on free speech is a desperate attempt by Ivanishvili’s regime to silence dissent. Such attacks on political expression are unprecedented in Georgia’s history, revealing the regime’s fear of truth and its shameful double standards. 2/END 🇬🇪 🇪🇺

🗝️ The Federalist Party condemns the MIA’s outrageous summoning of our leader, Tamara Chergoleishvili, and other political leaders and activists for their critical social media posts targeting GD leaders. 1/2

Happening now on Rustaveli Avenue: People are watching a documentary film by Federalists about the April 9 tragedy and Georgian society’s eventual triumph on their path to restoring independence. Today also marks day 133 of the nationwide #GeorgiaProtests.

🌷Never forgive, never forget. Long live free Georgia! 🇬🇪

“Are we being punished for loving our country?” — Prisoners of Georgia’s pro-Russian regime. #GeorgiaProtests #TerrorinGeorgia

Today, President @Zourabichvili_S met with representatives of political parties. According to Tamara Chergoleishvili, leader of @FederalistsGEO, Zourabichvili wants to create a joint coordination front between political parties and civil society to oversee preparations for new elections.

On February 25, 1921—104 years ago today—the Red Army occupied Georgia, forcibly pulling it into the Soviet Union. The First Republic of Georgia endured for just three years, yet the vision of a free, independent, and democratic Georgia has never faded from our collective memory, even after 70 years of Soviet oppression. Today, on Rustaveli Avenue, the Federalists and the Liberty Institute will present their film, The Fall of the Republic and Red Terror. This screening serves not only as a reminder of our past but also as a powerful reflection, drawing parallels between the traitors of that era and those who betray modern Georgia today.

Day 76 on Rustaveli Avenue. #GeorgiaProtests continue 🇬🇪

The responsibility for #TerrorinGeorgia lies with Bidzina Ivanishvili, his political puppets, and every member of the repressive apparatus. The Federalists have gathered information on 22 judges, 14 prosecutors, and 91 police officers involved in carrying out political persecutions and have submitted it to President @Zourabichvili_S. Before the regime changes, this information will be shared with international partners to push for visa and financial sanctions.

Despite police efforts to prevent us from blocking Rustaveli Avenue, we did it. Day 75 of the #GeorgiaProtests 🇬🇪

🗝️ The Federalists held our founding convention yesterday! Due to absurd technical reasons, our first charter was rejected, making this our second convention. Giga Bokeria was elected as party chairman, and Tamar Chergoleishvili will lead our Tbilisi branch.

“Isako Devidze was detained on the street and beaten. The police took his phone and took him to his home for a a raid. During the raid, they insulted his mother. When Isako asked, "Why are you insulting her?" they beat him again. He was not given the opportunity to ask for help, to have a lawyer, friend, or neighbor present, or to call anyone so he wouldn't be alone. During the search, his mother was also not allowed into the house. In the police station, he was not officially questioned. Instead, for four hours, seven people accompanied him and "talked" to him,” Giorgi Noniashvili, one of the leaders of the @FederalistsGEO reports.

Happening now on Rustaveli Avenue: Today marks the 65th day of the nationwide #GeorgiaProtests. We demand: 1. New, free, and fair elections; 2. The release of political prisoners.
