The EU ambassador negatively assesses the existing pre-election environment in Georgia. Carl Hartzell responds to the use of hate speech, which he says is unacceptable.

According to the diplomat, it is necessary to investigate the threat containing messages in time.

“We still see a rather negative pre-election campaign, but this is also a choice, this is the choice of candidates who participate in this campaign. This is unacceptable, of course, this is hate speech and threats from different directions and different candidates. We hope that the investigation, which is underway in connection with these threats and hate speech, will be completed successfully, " Carl Hartzell said.

The UN Representative in Georgia also speaks about the current situation. Luiza Winton says that the media has a special role in the electoral process.

"We are holding media monitoring together with the European Union. It is necessary for the media to better analyze the developments in the election process, "- said Luiza Winton.
