We have seen another provocation, which, in fact, is proof once again that the various parties involved in the elections do not have any evidence that any type of manipulation was carried out in the elections, - said the Chairman of the Central Election Commission, Giorgi Kalandarishvili, after resuming the session, which It was stopped for a while because of the controversy.
According to Kalandarishvili, only by pressure, bullying and personal attacks, the interested party is trying to reinforce the perception that the elections were rigged.
"Only with personal attacks, personal pressure, be it on the chairman of the CEC or we have also seen a number of cases with the chairmen and members of subordinate commissions - with such bullying, pressure, invasion of personal space and actions, various parties are trying to cover up those issues and create that perception in society and strengthen it. Perception that the elections were rigged. If there was any manipulation somewhere, we were the institution that first turned to the Prosecutor's Office of Georgia in order to carry out appropriate investigative actions, against the background that OSCE/ODIHR, NDI, IRI, ENEMO, EPD and other international organizations evaluated the elections quite positively, which is not my fault. The words are the excerpt that can be found in the conclusions of the mentioned monitoring organizations. What we have seen today is the face of the evil of this particular man - he was known as the outstanding provocateur in our commission, who once again finally and forever hanged the name of provocation and evil. This is secondary, it is much more important that with such actions, such pressure, such bullying and personal attacks, in fact, it has been proved once again that in reality, there are no tangible circumstances related to the elections, which indicated that the elections were manipulated," said Kalandarishvili.
