If the government were genuinely interested in upholding the foundations of democracy, they would not have declined to take part in the ‘Democracy Festival’, stated Tina Bokuchava, chair of the opposition United National Movement, while responding to the journalist’s question.
Bokuchava stressed that the festival organizers had personally invited several government representatives, including those from Ivanishvili’s party.
“Organizers confirmed that a personal invitation was sent to several government officials, including those from Ivanishvili’s party.
