“The data demonstrate that murder statistics are reduced to a minimum, while the case-solving rate stands at almost 100 per cent,” said Rati Ionatamishvili, MP of the Georgian Dream (GD) party.

Ionatamishvili went on to say that the latest externally funded hybrid war against Georgia is ruled through various propagandist methods, while Georgian citizens, so-called opposition stateless agents, fulfil the directives.

“Their main objective is to cause chaos, destroy the economy, impoverish the country and engage Georgia in the war. These externally orchestrated, dangerous processes have yet another goal: to intimidate the public, and to weigh down the atmosphere with a constant stream of negative news, so that the people can subsequently be easily manipulated,” he said.

Rati Ionatamishvili noted that foreign-funded media outlets accentuate that murders are constantly taking place in Georgia and that the crime situation is out of control.

“In fact, those people who spread propaganda about crime today actually represent the previous government, under which the situation was catastrophic
