The signatures on the banners call on voters to “choose peace” and “say no to war.” In some places, a part of the poster with a photo of the destruction is supplemented with numbers in the election lists of opposition pro-Western parties.
President Salome Zurabishvili was among the first to react to the new “Dreams” campaign.
“I have never seen anything so shameful, so insulting to our culture, traditions, history and faith… What a worthless thing it is to hang up for your people a poster made in the KGB forges without dignity and shame,” Zurabishvili was indignant.
The day before, the Georgian delegation at the UN General Assembly did not join the applause of a large part of the audience when US President Joe Biden spoke about the need to continue supporting Ukraine. It also became known that Kobakhidze’s invitation to Biden’s reception for foreign leaders was canceled.
We will remind: Parliamentary elections in Georgia will be held on October 26 and for the first time – without a majoritarian system, which increases the opposition’s chances of success.
