Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze on Wednesday addressed the ruling Georgian Dream party supporters at a closing pre-election rally in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, declaring “traitors cannot return to power.”

“If you don’t love your motherland, how can you respect another country?” the Mayor went on.

In his speech, Kaladze stated that “a stateless person is more dangerous than an enemy as he signs all kinds of filth.”

“I want to remember the decisive role Tbilisi played in the country’s existence in 2012. The Georgian people, united around [GD honorary chair] Bidzina Ivanishvili, rejected violence, cruelty, falsehoods, and fraud, which the so-called allies of Georgia used to deem the “beacon of democracy,” and even now, regrettably, they are attempting to bring them back to power via such pressure and blackmail.

They directly meddle with elections and the country’s political life. External powers cannot accept that Georgia did not share Ukraine’s tragedy and did not join the sanctions.

They attempt to demonstrate that LGBT propaganda embodies liberalism and humanism, transparency is anti-democratic, and white is black.

They claim that the Georgian people should not be aware that extremists, also known as non-governmental organizations, have the authority to get finances and utilise them to fight individuals, plan revolutions, and finance extremism,” Kakha Kaladze asserted.

The parliamentary elections in Georgia are slated for 26 October.
