Today, ex-President of Georgia and currently ex-governor of the Odessa region, Mikheil Saakashvili, announced the start of work in the regions of Ukraine on establishing of the new political force.
"Today, about a hundred of the representatives of the initiative groups from all over Ukraine gathered in our office in Kiev ... All those present had the feeling that we are creating something new and important and old political clans will not be able to stop us. We have launched a work in each region. Together we decided that we are the Movement of New Forces. After all, the word ‘movement’ reflects all that we are doing, it is a symbol of change and victory,’’ Saakashvili wrote on his page in Facebook, RIA Novosti reports.
The former governor urged his allies and activists to gather at the monument to Vyacheslav Chornovil in Kyiv (Museum lane) on November 27th to participate at the ‘open council’.
"We invite the representatives of all democratic political forces to join our open council. We begin a radical change of power in the country. On the second anniversary of the unsuccessful work of the parliament, we will declare our demands and start the update of the political elite with the help of the personnel reserve,’’ he stressed.
Saakashvili voluntarily left the post of governor of the Odessa region "due to the reluctance of the authorities to fight corruption in Ukraine", he accused the country's president Petro Poroshenko in patronage of the ‘criminal clans’ in the region. He also announced his intention to have early parliamentary elections and plans to form the political force in Ukraine.
