Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced that the government is finalizing a lawsuit that will be submitted to the Constitutional Court in the coming days. In an interview with the Georgian Public Broadcaster, he stated that the suit will target political parties composed of individuals affiliated with what he called a "bloody regime" and those who, in cooperation with this force, have engaged in long-term sabotage of the state.
“The list of parties will become clear once the lawsuit is officially filed. It may involve up to ten parties, including smaller ones,” Kobakhidze said.
He pointed to former government officials now leading opposition groups such as the United National Movement (UNM), Ahali, and other minor parties, as being within the scope of the suit. According to Kobakhidze, the basis of the legal action is twofold: affiliation with the previous regime, and persistent actions that undermined the state.
Kobakhidze argued that this lawsuit is necessary to unblock Georgia’s political landscape, which he described as artificially polarized.
“Right now, politics is locked in a bipolar trap: on one side, Georgian Dream; on the other, the collective United National Movement — a foreign-influenced, criminal political force,” he stated.
“This closed circle prevents the emergence of genuine alternatives. That’s why we win 54% in parliamentary elections even after 12 years in power. The alternative is unacceptable to the public.”
The Prime Minister emphasized that the goal is to create space for new political actors by removing what he described as "destructive elements" from the system.
“As soon as this closed circle is broken, new and healthy political forces will emerge. It’s not about personal ambition — it’s a step toward national healing and a more competitive, functional democracy,” he concluded.
