Girchi (Georgian: გირჩი, romanized:girchi, lit.'pine cone') is a libertarian political party in Georgia.[3] It emphasizes economic liberalism and fiscal conservatism, and claims that "Girchi unites people who share the principles of nonaggression (NAP); supremacy of individual; property rights; free market and voluntary association; freedom of speech and expression. Girchi is sceptical of authority and state powers as it advocates for minimal government and state’s non-interference in personal life and economy. Any activity or campaign associated with Girchi is based on unconditional and deep belief that our bodies belong only to us; that committing violence against nonaggressor is immoral, and that private property is ‘sacred’."[3] Girchi supports Atlanticism and pro-Europeanism. Girchi supports more private sector involvement in both healthcare and environment protection, advocating for deregulation and the removal of prohibition laws that protects the environment but that according to the party have the opposite effect.[4]
The party was established in November 2015 after four lawmakers (Zurab Japaridze, Pavle Kublashvili, Goga Khachidze, and Giorgi Meladze) quit the right-leaning former ruling and then-parliamentary minority party United National Movement.[5][6][7] Chaired by Iago Khvichia, Girchi promotes itself as being open to youth willing to participate in politics. It is the first Georgian online party that rejected a standard party structure and methods of political struggle by selecting Facebook as the main hub of its activities and as a platform of communication.[8] In December 2020, it underwent a split with the formation of Girchi — More Freedom.[9]
