Georgian PM: state will not allow success of any new revolutionary attempts

Georgian prime minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Thursday said that there were ongoing efforts aimed at destabilising the situation in the country and attempting to organise what he described as another “revolution”.

Speaking to journalists, Kobakhidze said that although the individuals involved may change over time, the underlying interest in creating unrest in the country remains unchanged.

“Names change, but the interest in somehow disrupting the situation in Georgia and trying once again to stage a revolution does not subside, and the activity of Blaževič and related funding is an expression of this”, the PM said.

Kobakhidze also claimed that the opposition’s need to deny such intentions indicates, in his view, what lies behind these activities.

“The fact that the opposition had to deny this also shows what is behind all of this. Behind it is a specific attempt to destabilize the country, but just as they failed in the past, they will not succeed in the future”, he continued.

The prime minister emphasised that the state would remain vigilant and would not allow such attempts to succeed.

“The state will be maximally vigilant and will not allow such attempts to be successful”, he concluded.
Mamuka Mdinaradze, candidate for state minister and future vice prime minister, on Wednesday said that the Georgian State Security Service was conducting an investigation into a criminal case that included multiple recordings involving Igor Blaževič from the Prague Civil Society Centre, who is linked to the revolutionary blueprint for the domestic opposition.
