Davit Matikashvili states that intentional black PR campaign against Salome Zurabishvili is underway.

"Rustavi 2", as the "National Movement" party television does everything in order to discredit one of the candidates, in fact, they do not have a pre-presidential marathon, this is a deliberate black PR campaign specifically against one person on which, I emphasize, they use the taxpayers` money. with the help of the Fake candidates, and the public is well aware that in fact only one candidate is supported by the political party.

"What is evident is that they misuse the taxpayers" money and actually want the presidential elections to be taken away in destructive direction," Matikashvili said.
