Georgian Idea

It was founded by Levan Chachua in 2014 and took part in 2016 and 2020 elections, both times missing the electoral threshold to be granted representation in the parliament.

In foreign policy, it supports building alliances with Russia based on religious ties and opposes the European integration.

However, Nino Jangirashvili, a host of the talk show and an owner of Kavkasia TV, claimed that Chachua was not involved in the fighting.

Chachua was sentenced to imprisonment over the incident, although he was released in 2012 as a recognized political prisoner after the change of power in Georgia in 2012, with the opposition Georgian Dream coalition defeating then ruling United National Movement in the election.

[12][13] In March 2018, the group launched a complaint against Aiisa, a condom company, to the Supervision Department of Tbilisi for displaying a hand gesture with crossed fingers that resembled Christ's hand gesture and the image of Tamar the Great, a canonized Georgian queen, on their products.

The case was referred to Tbilisi City Court which found the company guilty of discrediting religious symbols fining them 500 GEL and ordering the removal of their products from markets in May 2018.

[1] The group joined protests against the construction of Namakhvani Hydro Power Plant where they attacked and expelled a civil activist for wearing an LGBT armband.

[1][16][14] The party is against the anti-discrimination legislation passed by the Georgian Dream government in 2014, with Chachua elaborating that they did not want to legalize "perversion" in the country.

The party blames the West and its "puppet regimes" of Eduard Shevardnadze and Mikheil Saakashvili for straining the Georgia–Russia relations, but also "inflexible and coercive" policy of the Kremlin.

Based on religious ties, the party additionally considers Serbs, Ukrainians, and other Orthodox Christian nations to be especially close to Georgia.

[4] Georgian Idea cites Biblical passages to argue for the restoration of monarchy considering the institution to be divine.

[4] Additionally, the party claims that restoring the Bagrationi dynasty would help reintegrate Georgia's separatist regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

It has argued that since the Bagrationi dynasty had held the title of the king of not only the Georgians but Abkhazians and Ossetians as well it would be possible to unify the country around the restored monarchy.
