The crisis in Georgia is deepening: Zurabishvili announced the creation of a council for the preparation of new elections

Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili announced the creation of a new council, which, according to her, will deal with the preparation of new parliamentary elections, reports UNN with reference to “News of Georgia”.

“A document is already being prepared, and it will most likely be ready tomorrow – it will describe all the minimum conditions for the elections that will be held very soon… These new elections will be really new, new forces will probably appear. We we have to be ready for all this,” Zurabishvili said.

The day before, at the rally, she gave the ruling party six days to set a date for new elections – Georgian Dream called this demand ridiculous and ignored it.

“The crisis is intensifying and deepening every day, which the ruling party either does not see, or even more, I would say that it closes its eyes, does not want to see and acts as if everything is fine. As if the main thing is to light up the city or arrange a Christmas village, or putting up a Christmas tree or putting on a concert – when no one is in the festive mood, even those who think they are won,” said Zurabishvili.

She emphasized that no matter how much the “ruling party” closes its eyes to the situation in the country, “it cannot change this reality, and the reality is what is in front of us, what we all see, feel and that we will have to correct. it’s a crisis.”

Currently, it is still unclear how Zurabishvili is going to act on December 29 – two days before the New Year, “Georgian Dream” scheduled the inauguration of the new president, the publication notes.

At the same time, Zurabishvili said today that if an agreement with “Georgian Dream” on new parliamentary elections is not reached by December 29, after December 29, “we will reach elections through the fall of the regime.” She did not explain what form of “regime fall” she meant, but reiterated that she did not intend to resign as president.
