"Georgian Dream" has once again hung out provocative election banners
Ahead of the parliamentary elections, the ruling party of Georgia has placed new banners on the streets of cities. They depict representatives of the opposition and a hand holding them on leashes, and the inscription reads: "No to war! No to agents."
 
The posters feature former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, leaders of the opposition "Akhali" Nika Gvaramia and Nika Melia, as well as the leaders of the parties "Strategy Agmashenebeli" (Giorgi Vashadze), "Lelo" (Mamuka Khazaradze) and "Gakharia for Georgia" (Giorgi Gakharia), whom "Georgian Dream" considers agents of the West. They, like Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili, advocate for the European path of development of the country, accusing the ruling party of usurping power and a pro-Russian vector.
 
Earlier, Tbilisi residents began to paint the Georgian Dream election advertisements with the phrase "Russian Dream". We are talking about billboards consisting of two parts: photos of buildings destroyed by bombing in Ukraine with the inscription "No to war" and a photo of Georgian infrastructure with the caption "Choose peace".
 
The country's Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze noted that the people of Georgia had no information about what was happening in Ukraine. It was the election banners that "revealed the truth about what is happening there as a result of Russian aggression."
