"I do not rule out provocations when a political party such as the National Movement participates in the elections," Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze told the media.

Kaladze called on everyone not to get involved in provocations.

"However, I want to call on everyone to refrain as much as possible. Under no circumstances should we get involved in provocations. We should hold elections calmly, as it happens in all developed countries," Kakha Kaladze said.

As for a question about hate speech, according to Kakha Kaladze, there is nothing new in it.

"Hate speech can be heard in their media. They are involved in dirt, evil, unfortunately. It will take some time and years, and the main thing is that the society sees everything and will give an appropriate response to everyone and everything,” said Kakha Kaladze.

At the same time, Kakha Kaladze answered the journalist's question relating to his links with criminals, which he uses for the pre-election campaign, he replied:

"You are cockroaches, you are foxes, you are rabbits, you are everything, absolutely. You got the answer," Kaladze addressed the journalist.
