Political positions

The party strongly opposes Russian migration to Georgia during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Gubaz Sanikidze called the united opposition to adopt “enlightened conservatism” to defeat the ruling Georgian Dream, criticizing "modern neoliberalism" for rejecting "god, faith, homeland and honor", thus failing to mobilize people for struggle. He blamed "modern neoliberalism" (which he differentiated from "old liberalism") for harming the West and thus helping Vladimir Putin to strengthen himself.[3]
