TBILISI, DFWatch–Georgia’s prime minister on Tuesday rejected the two main demands put forth by the opposition, thus prolonging the country’s four and a half months long political crisis.
“The next parliamentary elections will be held in 2024,” Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said at a meeting of the EU-Georgia Association Council in Brussels.
Based on what the international observers found, he added, it is clear the parliamentary elections on October 31, 2020 were free and fair, and therefore early elections – the main demand of the opposition – is not on the agenda.
