On November 18, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze emphasized the importance of weakening the "radical opposition" for Georgia's development.

He remarked, "We remember that in previous years when the radical opposition was getting stronger, the country's positions were getting weaker [and vice versa]." Concluding his point, he added, "Therefore, weakening the radical opposition is one of the important tasks for us to ensure the strength of our country and the development of our country in the right direction."

Kobakhidze also asserted that "the opposition is in such a bad state that we would probably have pitied them" but described them as "evil forces" and "people without a motherland," insisting that their weakening would benefit the country's progress.

“You can see that the radical opposition is in a very difficult situation, and this situation is getting worse by the day, and it is important that the processes continue in this direction; it is important for the country’s unhindered development,” Kobakhidze stated.
