**Opposition Party Leader Talks Politics**
Zviad Dzidziguri, a leader of the “Gakharia for Georgia” party, was on a TV program called “360 degrees”. He talked about their decision not to enter parliament and take salaries.
According to Dzidziguri, giving up leverage is a political mechanism that can be used effectively. This means they are using their position as opposition leaders to get things done, rather than just sitting back and doing nothing.
He said they will not enter the parliament on the first day, but may do so in the future if it’s needed. They want to keep their leverage and use it wisely.
Dzidziguri also responded to a statement made by the Speaker of Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili. He said that the Speaker should speak for all Georgians, not just one party. The Speaker should be balanced and not act like an activist for one side.
Regarding meetings with other opposition parties, Dzidziguri said they are participating in public protests because they recognize them as important. They don‘t organize these actions, but join in to show their support.
**Leaving it Up to Them**
Dzidziguri emphasized that when the time is right for “Gakharia for Georgia” to take action, they will do so on their own terms. He said that no one should commit political suicide by acting impulsively and giving up leverage.
He also mentioned that he cut his mandate in 2008, which means he gave it back to the people. This shows that they are not afraid to make tough decisions when needed.
