The party took a step back with today’s decision, money and informal influences won over politics and political ideals. Such a statement made Nugzar Tsiklauri, a member of the United National Movement.

“As long as Mikheil Saakashvili is in prison, the only correct decision will be membership of UNM. For me, as well as for many of my friends, political goals remain unchanged in the current political stage.

This is the freedom of former president and the defeat of the Russian regime in Georgia.

I don’t agree with the course of governance of the new management, nor with the statements that we heard during the pre-election period. I will oppose it in all possible democratic ways.

I will not have any participation in the process that will be formed as a result of informal influences in relation to the management”, - said Nugzar Tsiklauri.
