Lelo for Georgia categorically condemns the organized group attack on the member of the City Council, Irakli Edzgveradze, the illegal detention of Nika Melia and his teammates, and demands their immediate release. Full responsibility for the above developments rests with the government, its deliberate attempt to deepen polarization. Lelo calls on the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia to immediately eliminate criminal actions against opposition and media representatives. Georgian Dream, with its violent policy, poses a serious threat to Georgia's status as a candidate for EU membership. The ruling party must stop sabotaging the European choice of the Georgian people," reads Lelo's statement.
