President of Georgia Zurabishvili did not recognize the results of the parliamentary elections and calls on the people to protest.
President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili called the recent parliamentary elections a new form of hybrid war, which was tested on the Georgian people, and declared their complete falsification.
This is reported by "Echo of the Caucasus"
This was a total falsification and confiscation of your votes. All methods used we have seen in various countries. In addition, modern technologies of falsification whitening were applied. This has never happened before. We were witnesses and victims of a Russian special operation, a hybrid war, that was waged against our people, against our country, - emphasized Salome Zurabishvili.
The President characterizes the conducted voting as "Russian elections" and accuses the authorities of depriving citizens of constitutional rights.
"The institution of elections was taken from us, because after these elections it is very difficult to imagine what elections will be like in the future if something does not change. They took away our constitutional right to choose", - she emphasized.
Zurabishvili officially declared the non-recognition of the results published by the Central Election Commission: "I do not recognize these elections. These elections cannot be recognized. This is the same as the recognition of Russia's entry here, the subjugation of Georgia to Russia. I did not come to the country for this. Our ancestors did not live for this, and we will not accept it. No one can take away Georgia’s European future".
The President urged the people to fight for their voice and announced a protest action: "We must come together and declare that we do not recognize these elections, we do not tolerate Russia and its invasion of Georgia in this form. We will stand together. They are with me, and I am with them. I would like to invite all of you to Rustaveli Square tomorrow at 19:00 so that we can together say, declare to the whole world that we do not recognize these elections, we protect the constitutional right".
Recall that parliamentary elections were held in Georgia: the CEC showed the results.
