September 8: The mobilization of employees of budgetary organizations for the “Georgian Dream” party event in Akhaltsikhe.
- On September 8, a party event of “Georgian Dream” was held in Akhaltsikhe. A significant number of individuals employed in the budgetary organizations, including those employed in schools and kindergartens, attended the meeting. Akhaltsikhe State University's lecturers instructed students of the same institution to participate in the same event, which also included a lecturer holding an administrative position. The students talked about the lack of comprehensive information regarding the event being a party event. One of the students stated that the lecturer even requested that they compile a list of the students who were going to the event.
This is a concern, as it may be the result of the coercion of subordinates or other dependent individuals to participate in the election campaign. Under Article 150 of the Criminal Code, it is unlawful to coerce an individual to perform an action abstinence from which is their right.
