In the 2004 election, he again failed to make it into parliament.

During the Rose Revolution in November 2003, he opposed the uprising. In 2004 Natelashvili sharpened the fundamentally oppositional course with anti-Semitic clichés and called on the population to civilly disobey the government. He warned of an alleged threat to Georgia from American, Jewish and Armenian lobbies who wanted to rob the country of culture, religion, belief and education. Many party members then left the party.

Also in 2007, Natelashvili met Martin Sonneborn , the head of the German small party Die PARTTEI , in the context of a satirical program, which he did not recognize as satire. Natelashvili made an agreement with the satirical German party Die Party , which was reported on Georgian television.

Natelashvili survived several assassination attempts, including an explosion in November 2010 at the headquarters of his Labor Party. Nino Gordeziani, a political activist, was killed and a guard injured. Natelashvili accused Mikheil Saakashvili of being behind the attack and called him a "terrorist".
