For context, Zurab Japaridze is the leader of a "right-liberarian" party whose main goals are NATO and EU membership, tax cuts, decentralisation, deregulation, doubling the military budget, privatization of state-owned property, and abolition of the National Bank of Georgia. Not going to cry about his arrest TBH.
Oh, in a true right-libertarian spirit, when creating his splinter of the party, he made sure to clarify the split had nothing to do with the chairman of the main branch (also right-libertarian) defending child pornography lol.
He refused to recognise the 2020 parliamentary election claiming it was rigged. And the 2021 local elections too... And now of course.
[Edit] His party also initiated the challenge to the law requiring that at least 25% of candidates that political parties submit for elections are women, which saw that law removed by the current ruling Georgian Dream party, to the outcry of women's organisations.

I love how they'te basically trying to copy/paste maidan in Georgia.
Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy (Rose Revolution in Georgia), the second time as farce (Now).
I love Georgia and I wish you lasting peace and true sovereinty.
...tax cuts, decentralisation, deregulation, doubling the military budget, privatization of state-owned property, and abolition of the National Bank of Georgia. Not going to cry about his arrest TBH.
100% agree, fuck this guy.
Well, if Georgia gets through this, they will be forced to become anti-Western now that they are doubling down on hostility towards the Dream party.
