On June 10, Shalva Papuashvili, the Speaker of Parliament of Georgia, commented on the opposition alliance and the United National Movement, stating: "I said they might as well devour each other, and now they have started doing exactly that. Let us watch and at least derive some amusement from it." He compared developments within the opposition to a scene from the Georgian film Blue Mountains, noting that they no longer understand "whether they are here or there."

Papuashvili further emphasized that the situation reflects the influence of external actors, adding that "the external forces organizing these people are not particularly wise and fail to calculate even simple matters," while also claiming that opposition figures are presented abroad as representatives of Georgian interests despite what he described as internal dysfunction.

In this context, Papuashvili linked the opposition’s situation to broader international dynamics, stating that what is happening within Georgia mirrors global processes driven by what he referred to as the "Global War Party" or the "Deep State." He said: "The name may differ, but the essence is the same," and argued that this model of governance has contributed to the collapse of the global security system.

Responding to questions regarding the June 11 meeting between Georgia and the European Commission on visa-free travel, Papuashvili criticized EU policies, stating: "Georgia cannot destroy itself simply because Brussels wants to turn visas into a political instrument." He argued that the EU had introduced political criteria into what was previously a technical process and claimed that certain measures violated international agreements.

He also said that Georgia is represented at the meeting by a technical delegation, emphasizing that political issues require political responses. Papuashvili added: "Sovereignty is not traded for strawberries," referring to broader debates on visa liberalization and conditionality.

Addressing questions about the political role of Bidzina Ivanishvili, Papuashvili, the Speaker of Parliament, rejected claims of informal influence and stated that Ivanishvili is the honorary chairman of the ruling party. He emphasized that major political decisions are made within the party’s Political Council and added that Ivanishvili’s role in Georgia’s political stability since 2012 is "undeniable," while dismissing interpretations of his influence as conspiracy theories.
