Over the past few months I’ve been hearing rumors that those around Ivanishvili are actively saying: the main thing is to survive this fall, and afterwards we’ll stay in power forever. It is becoming increasingly clear what exactly they plan for the fall. Russia is demanding concrete institutional steps from Ivanishvili. Moscow does not trust oaths, and it is no longer satisfied with only arrests and pro-Russian rhetoric accusing Georgia of war. According to new information I just received and want to share with you, Ivanishvili, cornered by his own capitulationist policy, is preparing in the coming weeks and months to take the following steps:
entering into a treaty with Russia, restoring diplomatic relations, and forming an anti-Western pact;
signing an agreement of non-use of force with the puppet authorities of Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region, which would effectively recognize them as separate entities;
opening the Abkhazian railway;
proclaiming Georgia’s neutrality.
All of this they plan to implement in the coming months. This autumn will be a moment of truth for Georgians. Either we finally all unite, take action, and prove worthy of freedom, or we disappear as a nation. This is also a decisive moment for the “Georgian Dream.” They plan all this not only under Moscow’s instruction, but also because, in their view, if Georgians swallow it, then nothing will threaten Ivanishvili’s hereditary dictatorship for the next decades.
Today the situation looks like this: yes, 80% Georgians hate the “Georgian Dream” and Russia. At the same time, most people are convinced that removing Ivanishvili is impossible. Playing with former Prime Minister Nika Gvaliuri and others, the opposition has achieved what people see as its complete sellout. At the same time, people believe I am capable of defeating Ivanishvili, but they also think that no one will allow me to freely enter Georgia.
All of this is true, but it does not give us the right to stop and give up. Now is not the time for despair – now is the time to prepare for a decisive fall.
