Irakli Kobakhidze, the head of the governing Georgian Dream party, unveiled a plan to follow the 12 recommendations of the European Commission by July 1 in order for Georgia to be given EU candidate status. The announcement was made at a political council meeting at the party's headquarters in Tbilisi, where Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili was also present.

A coalition of activist CSOs and policy think tanks also devised a detailed plan for satisfying the twelve criteria established by the European Commission for Georgia to advance in the candidacy process within a few days.

In a July 3 Facebook post, President Salome Zourabichvili stated that neither the plan unveiled by the leader of the governing party, Irakli Kobakhidze, nor the demands for Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili's resignation have anything in common with a genuine national consensus or the action plan necessary for EU candidacy. "The people's manifestation of European spirit is a magnificent force that safeguards the honour of our country," said the President.

Petre Tsiskarishvili, secretary general of the largest opposition party, the United National Movement, described the plan as an attempt to defuse the allegation of pro-European protests. He stated, "There is no point in cooperating with the ruling party." On July 1, Tsiskarishvili highlighted, "If they planned to collaborate with the opposition, they would not need to make televised appearances. They can initiate the necessary legislation, including de-oligarchization measures and actions involving the arrest, punishment, and imprisonment of those involved in organised crime."

Salome Samadashvili, a Georgian MP from the Lelo party, referred to the GD plan as a carbon copy of the procedure. She emphasised on the 2nd of July that the EU-mediated agreement of April 19, 2021, which the ruling party rejected, is the path to depolarization and not a monitoring committee. She stated that the administration must resign as a result of its failure to gain EU candidacy. “A provisional government of national consent must be constituted to ensure that these 12 prerequisites are met. In addition, it must prepare the country for the next fair elections,” the MP concluded.
