Elene Khoshtaria, one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change, has praised Tina Bokuchava for taking over as chair of the United National Movement (UNM) during what she described as the party’s “most difficult period”.

In a letter released from prison on Thursday, Khoshtaria thanked Bokuchava for their cooperation during a difficult period for Georgia, describing their work together as constructive and focused on achieving results despite political differences.

“Let us remember that Tina Bokuchava took over the chairmanship of the United National Movement during the most difficult period. Her courage deserves recognition,” Khoshtaria wrote.

She particularly praised Bokuchava’s work on the international stage, saying it had been important both to her and to a number of Georgia’s international partners.

She also wished the UNM success in any political formation that, in her words, would contribute to the “fight for Georgia’s freedom”.

Zurab Japaridze, one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change, has accused the ruling Georgian Dream party of seeking to imprison or force out of the country political leaders who “collectively defeated it” in Georgia’s 2024 parliamentary election.

“How will they finish this? Every person, every political leader who collectively defeated the Georgian Dream in 2024 will either end up in prison or outside the country. That is their goal at this moment,” Japaridze said while commenting on the so-called sabotage case.

He claimed that the arrests were intended to send a message to Western countries that the government would either reach an agreement with them on its own terms or imprison or force abroad the political figures with whom they communicate.

Japaridze also accused the authorities of clearing the political field for other political players who have long argued that established opposition figures should step aside and be replaced by new faces.

“They are leaving them the ball and the field. It is clear that some will take it,” Japaridze said.
