36 years ago we faced an external force, today, we still contend with one that undermines our national interests. Such a statement the Prime Minister of Georgia made today at the Sameba Cathedral.

“I emphasized this parallel because, once again, an external force is acting against our national interests.

The Deep State employs the same tactics as the Soviet KGB did 36 years ago, albeit now using European bureaucratic structures instead of American ones.

The methods have not changed, and, regrettably, this Deep State has co-opted European institutions for its purposes. This must end. We will maintain a clear stance on this matter moving forward and do everything in our power to protect our national interests and the well-being of our society. Unity, not hatred or division, serves the interests of our people. We are committed to preventing anyone from artificially fracturing society and will focus on fostering unity. As the government, we represent everyone. We must care for each of our citizens, including those who may instigate discord under external influences”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
