The president met with the International Monitoring Mission of the National Democratic Institute. Giorgi Margvelashvili thanked the mission for the interest in the local self-government elections in Georgia.

The President provided to the NDI observation mission the information on the events during the pre-election period.

Advisor to the President of Georgia Kakha Kozhoridze spoke about the violations revealed in the pre-election period in the field of human rights and justice.

"The problem is the inequality between the parties in terms of funding.. The problem is the use of administrative resources, including the way in which people are forced to perform certain party tasks because of the fear of losing the necessary wages for their physical existence. This may be not only a violation of the election legislation, but the violation of the Constitution, I mean violation of the right to dignity, it needs investigation, including the sad fact that happened yesterday in Marneuli, "- said Kakha Kozhoridze.
