August 3: Individuals purportedly linked with the “Georgian Dream” hindered the Gakharia party from conducting its pre-election campaign in Batumi.
- On August 3, an effort to hinder the “Gakharia for Georgia” party's election campaign was documented in Batumi. According to the party's deputy chairperson, Natia Mezvrishvili, it was people employed in budgetary organizations, who at the same time are “Georgian Dream” activists, who attempted to disrupt the meeting.
For a healthy pre-election environment, all parties must be able to freely conduct election campaigns. The Ministry of Internal Affairs should provide a safe environment and prevent attempts to disrupt election events.
