On October 1, Bidzina Ivanishvili, the Honorary Chair and founder of the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party, released a letter marking the 12th anniversary of the party's rise to power in Georgia in 2012. 

Ivanishvili explained that it was "patriotism" that allowed the people to overcome their fear, which had previously prevented them from gathering in the streets in 2011 to support GD but did not stop them in 2012 when they voted for GD to win the elections. He described this as an "unprecedented unity" that neither the former regime nor its foreign handlers could withstand. Comparing October 1 with other significant dates in Georgia’s recent history, such as May 26 and April 9, he expressed gratitude to the people, stating that their contributions had earned the homeland's appreciation. He also thanked each GD member who, over the past 12 years, had walked "in the minefield with dignity" and withstood immense pressure.

Throughout the letter, Ivanishvili made several references to "walking the tightrope," suggesting that since coming to power, the GD had navigated through a regime of both internal and external enemies trying to organize revolutions and destabilize the country. He highlighted the government's efforts to maintain peace, contrasting it with the events in Ukraine and the conflict Georgia faced in 2008. Ivanishvili reiterated that GD's singular goal while walking this tightrope was safeguarding Georgia's independence, freedom, religion, culture, history, and values. He urged the public to support the party by voting in upcoming elections, arguing that doing so would reaffirm the people's backing of GD and prevent any doubts from arising.

In a lengthy portion of the letter, Ivanishvili denied targeting either the US or the EU when speaking of the "global war party" during GD’s campaign. He referenced US conspiracy theories such as the "deep state" and warned the US of potential "reputational damage" if it continued supporting the opposition. "The [US] Embassy cannot cite any statement by me personally or any other leader of Georgian Dream, in which we accuse the US or the EU of financial blackmail against us," Ivanishvili stated in the letter. 

Ivanishvili clarified that GD did not mean the US or EU when referring to the Global War Party but instead suggested that this party had significant influence over politicians and bureaucrats in both regions. He mentioned that he refused to meet with US politicians due to the substantial probability of their influence by the Global War Party. Referring to themes from the ongoing US presidential campaign, such as "oligarchic influence, informal rule, deep state, and war party," Ivanishvili cited candidates like Donald Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr. He argued that the Global War Party was attempting to disguise its actions by using the US and the EU, portraying Georgia as being in conflict with these entities rather than with the Global War Party itself.
