On April 14, Mamuka Mdinaradze, Executive Secretary of Georgian Dream, announced that the party aims to defeat the "agents’ network" in the October 4 local elections and subsequently initiate a fact-based constitutional case to seek a ban on the collective United National Movement (UNM) through the Constitutional Court.
During the briefing, Mdinaradze emphasized that this process would begin "very soon after the local elections." He noted that the mandate of the investigative commission, originally covering 2003–2012, had been extended to include 2003 to the present day. As a result, the scope of individuals and issues under investigation has significantly expanded. "Hundreds of statements are submitted to the Parliament of Georgia daily, detailing horrific acts committed by representatives of the United National Movement and its satellite parties," Mdinaradze stated.
Mdinaradze stressed that this approach would prevent accusations that Georgian Dream rushed to ban the UNM before the elections. "We will not allow anyone, inside or outside the country, to speculate on this issue, nor will we permit claims that Georgian Dream hastily sought to ban the collective UNM just before the local elections," he said. He predicted that opposition parties "will be guided by their patrons and financiers" and suggested these elections would be their last. He also declared that Georgian Dream would once again demonstrate “the futility of any attempt by external forces to replace the government with an agents’ network in Georgia.”
