The founder and leader of the “Georgia First” party, former lawyer to Bidzina Ivanishvili, who founded the opposition force in late June, believes that opponents of “Georgian Dream” should consider ending political polarization in the country.
Victor Kipiani writes that if opposition forces truly want change, they are the ones who must make it happen.
“The red line answers the question not of whether or not to participate in the elections, but in which specific elections to participate.
Therefore, it is necessary to define the most realistic, equal, fair, and competitive rules for holding elections and to conduct a dialogue with the ruling party based precisely on these rules.
The opposition must think about how to put an end to polarization.
The more people oriented toward change there are, the more effectively this will help overcome polarization, rather than waiting for ‘Georgian Dream’ to do it. Especially since they apparently have no such desire,” Kipiani writes.
