Natia Mezvrishvili: Today's "dream" looks exactly like the "National Movement" looked in 2012

Today's "dream" looks exactly like what "National Movement" and its televisions looked like in 2012, which banned the main opponents and did not give them airtime and the opportunity to place advertisements, Natia Mezvrishvili, the deputy chairman of the "Happy for Georgia" party, said.

According to her, TV companies "Imedi" and "Rustavi 2" refused to place advertisements for the party, and "GD" is putting pressure on the public broadcaster, which agreed to place advertisements, through the National Regulatory Commission and directly through its head, Kakha Bekauri.

"Dream" with the methods of "National Movement", just like "Dream" was treated by "National Movement" in 2012, today the party "Gakharia for Georgia" does not give us the opportunity to place free political advertisements and does not give us air time. This is when "Imedi", "Rustavi 2" and other party televisions broadcast disinformation and propaganda 24 hours a day, addressing the leaders of the party and the political party as a whole, and this is when "Imedi" broadcasts Mikheil Saakashvili's election campaign 24 hours a day. Campaign directly from "Vivamed" clinic and courtroom, which he has no right to do by law.

According to Article 51 of the "Georgian Election Code", the party "Gakharia for Georgia" has the right to use free political advertising on national broadcasters. why Because according to the same article, all political parties that have 4% support and, as you know, the party "Gakharia for Georgia" has double-digit political support, have the right to place free political advertisements on national broadcasters. Also, such political parties were recognized as qualified entities by national broadcasting.What does a dream do? "Imedi" and "Rustavi 2", the party television stations, directly refused to place advertisements, and as for another national broadcaster, which recognized us as a qualified entity and expressed its consent to place our political advertisements and complied with the law, they were "dreamed" by the National Regulatory Commission and He exerts pressure directly through his head, Kakha Bekauri.

In particular, these TV companies are not given the opportunity to place advertisements, and those who placed advertisements use punitive measures against them. This is what today's "dream" looks like, exactly as it looked in 2012 with the "National Movement" and its TV stations, which banned the main opponents and did not give them air time and the opportunity to place advertisements.

Today, "GD" aims to remove "Gakharia for Georgia" and violates all journalistic media standards, they release disinformation and propaganda stories and voice accusations without even asking the opinion of a single representative of the party and not letting the party's comments into the story at all. Against this background, Mdinaradze, one of the representatives of "GD", stated that, according to the law, it does not belong to the "Gakharia Georgia" party to place free political advertisements. It is true that knowledge of the law was never Mdinaradze's strong point, neither under the conditions of the "Dream" nor under the conditions of the "National Movement", who is who and I know this perfectly, but I would still advise him to dissolve the "Election Code" and read Article 51, that Let's not find ourselves in such an embarrassing and ridiculous situation again," said Natia Mezvrishvili.
