Today is October 1st…
The day our freedom is restored!
October 1, 2012 is one of the main cornerstones of our history, one of the main justifications for the existence of Georgian people, a day that best expresses Georgian gene and ancestral heritage – no matter how strong the enemy must be, internal or external, when it comes to the dignity and freedom of our people, there is simply no turning back!
Bidzina Ivanishvili is a Georgian politician and oligarch, who served as Prime Minister of Georgia from October 2012 to November 2013.
He made his wealth in Russia in the 1990s following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Dignity and freedom for Georgian man is a red line, a rubicon, which you should not cross, but if you dare to swim in this river, the power of unity of Georgian people, Georgian children will be destroyed!
October 1 does not belong to any party, to any person, October 1 belongs to Georgian people, citizens of Georgia, who with this amazing unity, “Georgian Dream”, washed away the country with a shameful black stain that prevents us from breathing freely, expressing our thoughts, fighting for the truth, living with dignity, caring for our family and relatives, working, doing business. Getting educated and getting old To be spent with dignity.
Patriotism is not only about protecting the homeland with a gun, after all, it is about having the courage to raise your voice against injustice at the most difficult moment, when no one dares to speak!
We went on a venture!
We did the impossible and if in 2011, at the moment I came into politics, people were afraid to go out and gather in the streets, on September 29, 2012, at least half a million patriots came to the streets of Tbilisi to show us all that we are afraid of nobody and nothing, and on October 1, we went to the ballot boxes with a hat and not only survived, Instead of winning!
With the power of this unity we were able to defeat evil – with kindness, and with the truth of lies, without blood.
The current regime and their foreign patrons could not recover from this unprecedented unity of our people!
The EU Parliament has adopted a scathing condemnation of Georgian Dream’s foreign agent draft law, calling for the sanctioning of the party’s founder, Bidzina Ivanishvili, and hinging Georgia’s accession talks with the abortion of the draft law.
That’s why this day is the common ground for our pride! Sign and symbol of unity of Georgian women and the power of this unity!
This day is also ours, as May 26, as April 9!
For all this, the homeland is grateful to you, I’m grateful too, as your compatriot, Georgian man!
I take today’s opportunity and thank every member of Georgian Dream, every comrade and supporter. Thank you to everyone who stood fearless with us on the 1st of October, for the past 12 years, walked with us with dignity through the broken fields and endured all the pressure, to be with us again today!
On October 1, 2012, the history of Georgia turned. Not only have we defeated the authoritarian regime and got the country back, but, since this day on, after the “Georgian Dream” came to power, we have principally improved the situation in all spheres, in all directions, be it human rights, judiciary, economy or other.
This is not only confirmed by our words and the well-being of our citizens about themselves, but also proved by the international ratings in which our country is moving forward and forward!
U.S. officials say Ivanishvili’s alleged actions benefit Russian interests and undermine Georgia’s aspirations to join the European Union and NATO
There is not a single field on which even the most biased person can say it was good before 2012 and after 2012 it got worse. This is a factual presence, which our opponents try to hide, distort and ignore, but Georgian people see everything.
This tangible progress that we are all seeing is not only a result of our determination and effort, but also of walking correctly over the fur bridge on which we have been walking for the past 12 years and still continuing.
“The [U.S.] Embassy cannot cite any statement by me personally or any other leader of Georgian Dream, in which we accuse the U.S. or the EU of financial blackmail against us.”
Ivanishvili
Yes, we have been trying not to talk about this topic in public, so as not to disrupt the population, but since October 1, 2012 – until now, the government of Georgia and the “Georgian Dream” have to walk on the fur bridge to keep the peace in the country constantly trying to organize revolutions and disrupt the country by external or internal enemies, and not Let’s leave what is happening in our neighboring Ukraine, what we went through in 2008. Let’s not let the rain of fire fall on our cities, villages and our children!
The society must know that walking across this feather bridge, the main line of fight was for our independence, peace, freedom, protection of our beliefs, culture, history and the values for which we came together on October 1, 2012!
Our political team has been able to bring Georgia and our people 12 years of uninterrupted peace across this fur bridge, and now that we are passing the last stretch of this difficult road, it is vital that we show the whole world once again an unprecedented example of unity and come out on the 26th October elections, so that no one can ever dare to oppose Iotisodena At least doubt the support of the Georgian population to “Georgian Dream”. No one can doubt that the people of Georgia choose not war – but peace; not agents of foreign countries, but a team protecting the interests of Georgian people; not pseudo-liberal values, but values based on nationality, family, faith and independence; not the categorically unacceptable existence that the radical opposition and foreign actors want to be European Let them make it clear, But for the dignified European future of our country!
That is why it is fundamentally important that on the 26th October parliamentary elections, “Georgian Dream” wins a constitutional majority. Constitutional Majority for:
First be declared unconstitutional, and then condemn collective “National Movement” with all the strictness of the law, a regime that has not enough terror, murder, torture to its own people and attacked the wind-fire of war;
In order for Georgia to be governed by the government elected by our people and not by a collective “National Movement” made up of agents of foreign forces;
In order to realize together a long-standing dream and through peace, based on reconciliation and mutual understanding, to see our homeland united again;
In order to end forever the constant attempts to insult and oppress the family, nationality, faith and to strengthen and protect the Orthodox Church, we should put in the Constitution the role of the Orthodox Church as the foundation of the self-sufficiency of the State of Georgia!
So, on October 26, the agenda is not political sympathy-antipathy, but Georgia’s presence – absence!
We are obliged to God and our homeland, to leave our children, our future generation an independent and peaceful Georgia, therefore, on October 26 we must unite again and win!
Our only way is to Europe with peace, dignity and prosperity!
Cheers to united, strong and shining Georgia!
Bidzina Ivanishvili
