United National Movement (Georgian: ერთიანი ნაციონალური მოძრაობა, romanized: ertiani natsionaluri modzraoba; UNM) also colloquially known as the Natsebi[a] is a pro-Western liberal-conservative political party in Georgia founded by Mikheil Saakashvili, which rose to power following the Rose Revolution.
The party was established in 2001 by Mikheil Saakashvili, who separated from the then ruling Union of Citizens of president Eduard Shevardnadze, and came to power after challenging the incumbents in the 2003 parliamentary election and the subsequent Rose Revolution. UNM followed a pro-Western course with neoliberal economic policies and cultural liberalism. It rule has been frequently characterized as autocratic.[3][4][5][6] The party lost the 2012 parliamentary election to Georgian Dream, following the Gldani prison scandal confirming the widespread and systematic torture in Georgian prisons under Saakashvili's rule.[7] Since then, it has been the main opposition party.
