Georgia’s ruling party Sec Gen slams UNM, says party represents Georgia’s political past

Kakha Kaladze, the Mayor of Tbilisi and Secretary General of the ruling Georgian Dream party, on Tuesday said the opposition United National Movement was a party of the past.

In his remarks on the UNM congress scheduled for tomorrow, Kaladze noted that during its nine years in power, the United National Movement had demonstrated what a government should not be like, and was now showing what an opposition should not look like.

“The National Movement is not relevant; it is a party of the past. This is the group that governed the country for nine years and showed everyone what a government should not be like. Today, while in opposition, they are once again showing everyone what an opposition should not look like”, Kaladze said.

“This is a criminal group. Today, we are talking about the August War, and I will reiterate once again that, through their policies, the steps they took, and what they did and achieved, they committed an act of betrayal against the country”, he concluded.
