Positions of the parties

Irakli Pavlenishvili, chairman of the temporary governing council of the "National Movement", states that the party was no longer in the alliance and had not been participating in it for months. According to Pavlenishvili, the party did not participate in the alliance's activities because the members of the alliance were busy insulting the "National Movement" and its leaders. Pavlenishvili denies the fact of the party's expulsion and notes that "they could not expel us from where we were not physically present". 1TV+5
