We categorically refuse any negotiations related to the snap elections! This issue is closed! This issue is not being considered! Such a statement made today the PM candidate Irakli Gharibashvili.

“I think it will be very difficult and impossible for opposition to stay in power very soon. I would like to address the constructive people who are still in opposition, who do not enter the parliament and we know what their real moods are, the representatives of other parties, they still have a unique chance to take a real part in active political activity.

On the other hand, we need to see the positive in this unique opportunity. Let’s say we could not have wished that these radical, destructive forces of the UNM would not have entered the parliament. It could have been our dream, but it happened naturally, by their own choice, by their own desire. If the opposition manages to distance itself from [Mikheil] Saakashvili’s violent policies and blackmail, we welcome that and are ready for constructive cooperation, heated debate, dialogue and anything that fits into the practice of modern democracies. But we categorically refuse any negotiations related to the snap elections! This issue is closed! This issue is not being considered! They do not want early elections, fair elections or democratic elections, they want to change the government by force, that is why they are beyond the constitutional framework. That is why my task will be to restore the constitutional order as soon as possible, so that no one stands above the law in this country! The law must be enforced!”, - said Irakli Garibashvili.
