United National Movement – United Opposition "Strength is in Unity" Faction was a politican coalition and a parliamentary faction in Georgia. It was led by United National Movement, the largest party within the bloc, and additionally included Progress and Freedom and Victorious Georgia parties. It was one of the two factions in the 10th Parliament of Georgia, serving in the opposition to the Georgian Dream government.
Strength is in Unity was formed as a political coalition in 2018 in the lead-up to that year's presidential election, backing the candidacy of Grigol Vashadze. Subsequently, it took part in the 2020 parliamentary election with five parties running its candidates on the coalition's list. The alliance participated in the parliamentary boycott following what it deemed as rigged results, only entering the parliament in May 2021. By 2024, it included 20 MPs and was chaired by UNM's Tinatin Bokuchava. It was succeeded by Unity – National Movement for the 2024 parliamentary election.
The faction had participated in numerous boycotts since entering the parliament and was in strong opposition to what it saw as pro-Russian policies of the Georgian Dream government. It also protested against the detention of the former president Mikheil Saakashvili, a leader of UNM. The coalition was viewed as being pro-European and centre-right.
