In his 18-minute long speech at the assembly, Ivanishvili slammed the authorities' policies and said that his movement would invite "experienced specialists" to create issue-based working groups to develop concepts for justice and law, human rights, economy, agriculture, foreign policy, national minorities, regional policy, conflict issues, local self-governance, culture and sports.
Ivanishvili said that "despite of a success at the initial stage, the Rose Revolution failed to meet the society's expectations."
"The large part of media outlets is oriented towards misinforming the public... So called nomenclature capitalism has been established in the country, involving complete loyalty and in most of the cases full integration of the business with the authorities, which in itself rules out creation of free market economy," he said, adding that he was sure journalists and businesspeople "obeying these vicious rules of the game" were themselves dissatisfied with this situation "and I am sure they will too stand beside us soon."
