Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Budapest, GD Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze praised Hungary and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán for defending national sovereignty and supporting Georgia’s European path.
Kobakhidze emphasized Georgia’s ancient Christian identity and resilience through centuries of conflict, declaring that “we remain Georgian” despite the trials of history.
“We are part of the real West—built on freedom, faith, and family—not the bureaucratic West driven by a Deep State agenda,” he said. He stressed that European integration must not come at the cost of Georgia’s sovereignty or values. “Being pro-European should not mean being anti-Georgian.”
The Prime Minister sharply criticized what he called “liberal fascism,” accusing foreign-funded movements and NGOs of undermining Georgia’s traditions, spreading gender and LGBT ideologies, and interfering in national affairs. He condemned what he sees as a coordinated global effort—led by what he calls the “Global War Party” or “Deep State”—to erode national identities and manipulate public discourse.
Referring to the war in Ukraine, Kobakhidze highlighted Georgia’s commitment to peace and accused international media and institutions of punishing Georgia for refusing to be drawn into conflict.
He also voiced support for former US President Donald Trump and welcomed the new US administration’s efforts to dismantle the Deep State, expressing hope that this would improve US-Georgia and EU-Georgia relations.
Kobakhidze concluded by affirming solidarity with leaders who defend sovereignty and traditional values, and closed with a call for blessings on Hungary, Georgia, and a “free and peaceful world.”
