"Today they play the role of political censor. they called illegal legitimate advertising directed against Salome Zourabichvili based on absolutely absurd legal reasons. The position of the European Georgia is "that we have such an assessment of Salome Zurabishvili"s statements, this is a treacherous behavior against the country"s interests. I want to remind them that in our legislation there is a law on freedom of speech and a very clear article that assessment reasoning is protected by absolute privilege and does not obey any restrictions, censorship, "Giga Bokeria said.

Representative of "European Georgia" applied to media outlets.

"First of all, the Public Broadcaster and any TV Channel that will restrict free political word on this pretext, will commit criminal offense, commit crime, violate the law of Georgia and be openly declared to be part of Salome Zurabishvili"s election campaign, a regular team member," Bokeria said.
