On March 31, the anniversary of the referendum on restoring the country's independence , an alliance of nine opposition parties in Georgia addressed the public to announce the launch of a "national mobilization campaign". The campaign is set to culminate in a rally planned for May 26.

"This is an initiative of the opposition alliance, but we want to emphasize from the outset that this is not a campaign limited to these nine parties or any single political force. This is a matter that concerns everyone. Thirty-five years ago, on this day, March 31, citizens across Georgia—including Abkhazia and Samachablo—expressed their firm will in a referendum to restore Georgia's independence, which was originally proclaimed on May 26, 1918. Both dates are connected to the greatest challenge facing the Georgian people: the issue of state independence. We believe that Georgia faces a similar challenge today," said Zurab Japaridze, founder of the Girchi – More Freedom party, on behalf of the alliance.

The alliance has outlined five primary goals for the campaign:

Enhancing direct, personal communication with citizens;

Neutralizing regime propaganda;

Transforming years of societal anger, protest, and the desire for change into tangible political action;

Overcoming the fear that the regime has deliberately cultivated for years;

Expanding the scale of public involvement in the protest.

The alliance announced that the campaign will last two months, with its "symbolic culmination" on May 26, Independence Day, when a "large, mass rally" is planned in Tbilisi. The alliance, which operates under the principle of "unity without uniformity," was formed in early March 2026. It comprises the following parties:

United National Movement, Federalists, Strategy Agmashenebeli, Akhali (New), Girchi – More Freedom, Droa, European Georgia, National Democratic Party, Freedom Square.

Leaders of the ruling Georgian Dream party have dismissed the "opposition alliance"—which unites previously opposing parties with divergent views—labeling it as "a union of former members of the United National Movement".
