According to Nino Tsilosani, a member of the ruling team, she can confirm that Panda was not expressing the position of Georgian Dream and acting on its own initiative.

Her comment echoed Panda’s statement, in which they said that were launching a targeted campaign against the opposition, but said they were doing so “not for the love of the Georgian Dream, but for fear of returning the dictatorship”.

“I have heard their statement and I can confirm from my side that they did not voice our position as the governing team. At least it was their personal initiative”, - said Nino Tsilosani.
