Leaders of three opposition coalitions met with Pawel Herczyński, the EU Ambassador to Georgia. The meeting included Nika Gvaramia, leader of the Coalition for Change; Badri Japaridze, leader of Strong Georgia; Tina Bokuchava, leader of the United National Movement.

“I believe the Ambassador is well-informed, but we still provided additional information that extended beyond just outlining violations, as the details of those violations are already well-documented. We shared our proposals concerning an international investigation. It is crucial to remember that the 4th point of our recommendations is the necessity of free and fair elections. Therefore, the EU has both legal and political grounds to examine how this recommendation was implemented during these elections. It is evident to everyone that it has not been implemented, but conducting an in-depth study and preparing a specific report would be beneficial to reveal the complete picture.

We made it clear that we cannot enter Parliament, as we believe the Parliament lacks legitimacy in this context”, - said Nika Gvaramia after the meeting.

“The international investigation is important, and we believe that the EU should play a leading role in this, based on the fact that, thanks to the efforts of the Georgian people, Georgia has become a candidate country, and accordingly, the decisions regarding whether the EU should cancel visa-free travel to Georgia, whether to impose sanctions on Bidzina Ivanishvili - all these decisions should be based on the information received during the election, which the Prosecutor’s Office cannot and will not deliver, because it itself is the main participant of the special operation with which Bidzina Ivanishvili stole the elections”, - added Tina Bokuchava.
