Georgian Dream’s war with reality
In the shifting landscape of Georgian politics, one phrase has come to dominate political discourse in recent months: the “Global War Party”. Introduced by officials from the ruling Georgian Dream party, the term is now used regularly to discredit opposition figures, civil society, and even western allies.
Georgia has long been a battleground for Russia to test its hybrid warfare tactics before applying them to the West. In this context, Georgia became the perfect testing ground for dangerous propaganda. It was here that the narrative of the “Global War Party" began to take shape, fuelled by the rhetoric of Georgia’s ruling party in 2022. This marked the time when the Georgian Dream (GD) party began labelling opposition parties as the "Party of War" or "Party of Betrayal", all part of a calculated effort to manipulate public perceptions. This marked the inception of a new term that would gain prominence in the coming years.
