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.

Here's the picture of the patriot giving an interview in his US Army cap:
