Today, upon my arrival from @MunSecConf , I faced another orchestrated assault from the Ivanishvili regime.
The reason is clear - our successful talks with international partners advocating for Georgia's sovereignty, territorial integrity and the European future. Our meetings in @MunSecConf directly contradicts Ivanishvili's plans as he wants Georgia forgotten and isolated from the international community.
Let me be clear: Ivanishvili cannot stop us fighting for Georgia; We will not allow betrayal of Georgia’s national interests.
Ivanishvili will lose both his money and power - so that he can never again use them against the Georgian people.

Early this morning, former Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia, leader of the "For Georgia" party, was assaulted at Tbilisi International Airport upon his return from the Munich Security Conference. According to a statement released by his party, a pre-organized group of ruling Georgian Dream thugs confronted Gakharia and his associate, Elguja Khokrishvili, former Georgian Ambassador to Germany.
The statement alleges that the attack was orchestrated by Bidzina Ivanishvili, with police at the scene standing by and failing to intervene. "The hysterical and violent so-called government is becoming increasingly uncontrollable," the party declared.
"For Georgia" linked the attack to Ivanishvili’s reaction to developments at the Munich Security Conference, implying that the ruling party is alarmed by international pressure.
No official response has been issued yet by the ruling Georgian Dream party or law enforcement authorities.

Dimitri Tskihitshvili, representing For Georgia, addressed PACE Socialists, Democrats & Greens Group hearing, exposing Georgia's democratic backsliding.
He called for non-verification of the GD delegation's credentials, tied to an undemocratic regime. @DimitriDDTS

I consider armed, group attack on January 15th against me to be a premeditated act of political revenge, orchestrated by Bidzina Ivanishvili. This ambush was carried out through illegal surveillance and the misuse of state resources, all of which remain firmly under his direct control. Ivanishvili has been threatening me and my family for a long time, employing various methods.
Today, I want to make one thing absolutely clear: I am not focused on the executors of this violent attack - I am focused solely on the mastermind behind it. Ivanishvili is the chief architect of repressions in our country, targeting ordinary Georgian citizens, our youth, and the very future of our nation. He is not just a political opponent; he is the root of the evil gripping Georgia today.
I will do whatever it takes to ensure Ivanishvili loses what he values most - money and his power!

Der Angriff auf den ehemaligen Premierminister und Oppositionsführer @GakhariaGiorgi schockiert mich sehr. Ich wünsche ihm schnelle Genesung und alles Gute. Dieses Verbrechen muss aufgeklärt werden. Politische Gewalt darf in Demokratien keinen Platz haben.
Viele Menschen in Georgien wünschen sich ein weltoffenes und europäisches Georgien 🇬🇪🇪🇺. Mit @GakhariaGiorgi und @ElgujaKhokrish habe ich über die aktuellen Entwicklungen gesprochen.
ALT Khokrishvili, Schulze, Gakharia

For Georgia Party Updates on Giorgi Gakharia’s Statement After Violent Armed Group Attack Orchestrated by Ivanishvili’s Regime
Giorgi Gakharia, leader of the For Georgia party and former Prime Minister, has issued the following statement after the violent, armed group attack in Batumi orchestrated by Ivanishvili’s regime:
“I want to sincerely thank everyone for their support. Health-wise, I’m doing fine.
However, today, our focus must be on those who are unlawfully imprisoned—they need our collective support now more than ever!" 🇬🇪🇪🇺

Ivanishvili's response to rewarding those sanctioned for severe human rights violations by promoting Gomelauri to Vice Prime Minister and awarding the highest State Order of Honor to him and others complicit in brutal abuses—reveal the regime’s utter contempt for the international community and its clear intention to escalate the political crisis.
Unless the four main pillars of Ivanishvili's regime—his elite entourage, the owners of propaganda tools like Imedi TV, corrupt financial enablers, and the repressive state apparatus—are sanctioned immediately, the regime’s authoritarian rule will only deepen and tighten its grip

Today marks the anniversary of the fall of Sukhumi, followed by mass killings & ethnic cleansing of Georgians from #Abkhazia perpetrated by the #occupation forces. Moscow has been strengthening occupation of #Georgian territories, while GD tries to whitewash the occupant power & blame our strategic partners instead. It's clear that under the GD rule it's impossible to restore territorial integrity as Ivanishvili & his party want us to surrender rather than ensure peaceful reintegration & #European future of #Georgia together with our Abkhaz & Ossetian compatriots. The October #elections should free Georgia from the authoritarian & collaborative regime of Ivanishvili.

Met with my friend Dimitri Tskitiahvili, former MP & Chairman of the Georgian Progressive Forum, during his visit to Sweden for election observation. Our friendship and past collaborations on various projects made this reunion particularly meaningful.
