Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated that the Georgian opposition is experiencing a profound crisis and has lost the support of not only society but also its own supporters.

"The opposition has completely collapsed. The Georgian people didn't like this opposition before, and now they don't like each other. This is today's reality, and that's a very good thing," the prime minister said.

According to him, internal conflicts within the opposition camp are linked to a struggle for the favor of external patrons. In this context, the prime minister again referred to the opposition as "foreign agents."

"The Georgian people didn't like these agents before, and now they don't like each other. This is, among other things, a consequence of the fact that these people are fighting for their own positions against their masters. Ultimately, this is precisely the reason for their confrontation," the prime minister believes.

Continuing on this theme, he emphasized that its activities are aimed at "undermining Georgia's national identity." The authorities, Kobakhidze asserts, intend to counter this, "but only within the law, including by improving legislation, which should be the subject of active discussion."

Kobakhidze did not specify what specific legislative changes might be made.

In recent days, a conflict over the legitimacy of the United National Movement party's leadership has escalated, prompting comments from representatives of the ruling party. UNM Chairperson Tina Bokuchava stated that the July 30 meeting of the United National Movement's political council was held without a quorum and cannot be considered legitimate. In response, one of its leaders, Anna Tsitlidze, accused Bokuchava of trying to retain her position as party chair at any cost.
