The actions of Ivanishvili and the Georgian Dream have undermined democratic institutions, enabled human rights abuses, and restricted the exercise of fundamental freedoms in Georgia.
They have also undermined Georgias EuroAtlantic future, a future that the vast majority of the Georgian people desire and that is enshrined in the Georgian Constitution.
What is important to understand is that as a result, Georgia has become vulnerable to Russia, which continues to occupy over 20 of Georgian territory.
