Girchi's Rakviashvili: UNM and neo-Nazis disrespect voters by avoiding debate on their programs

“The political spectrum has degraded to such an extent that we’re heading into elections without debates,” writes Alexander Rakviashvili, a member of the Girchi party, on social media.

According to Rakviashvili, the United National Movement (UNM) and neo-Nazis show so little respect for their voters that they don’t even intend to explain their position or defend it from criticism.

“Parties that refuse to participate in debates, be it Georgian Dream or, as in this case, the UNM and neo-Nazis, show such disrespect, primarily to their own voters, that they don’t even plan to explain their position or defend it from criticism. How can anyone vote for such parties? Don’t their voters fear that if they are so cowardly and deceitful now, they might do the opposite of what they’re promising in the future?” writes Alexander Rakviashvili.

For context, the Coalition for Change – Gvaramia, Melia, Girchi, Droa and Unity – National Movement have declined to participate in today’s electoral debates on the GPB First Channel.
