Vice Speaker of the Parliament, Nino Tsilosani, criticized the US Helsinki Commission's recent report, suggesting it inaccurately reflects Georgia’s current political situation. She argued that the report likely pertains to former President Saakashvili’s regime and arrived 12 years too late.

Tsilosani questioned the relevance of the Helsinki Commission's assessments, suggesting the report does not accurately describe the current political landscape in Georgia. According to her, the report likely refers to the period under Saakashvili's administration, which was marked by significant political challenges. She also implied that such reports aim to bolster opposition narratives ahead of elections.

"The quotes you read to me from this report allow me to think that this report is not written about Georgia. If they meant Georgia, they were probably talking about Saakashvili's regime," Tsilosani remarked. She added, "The Helsinki Commission may have made these assessments in its report 12 years later."

Tsilosani further noted the political nature of such statements: "Each such statement is aimed at raising the agenda of the opposition and raising the political temperature as high as possible before the elections."

She also questioned the focus of the US on Georgian election processes, referencing recent events in America: "When the political representatives of the country where the presidential candidate is shot and tried to kill... a logical question arises, how do they think the election processes in the USA are going?"

The Helsinki Commission's report highlights concerns over Georgia's democratic future and Euro-Atlantic aspirations, stating that the Georgian people deserve a government that respects their right to democratically elect their leaders. Tsilosani dismissed this, emphasizing that such terms, like "authoritarianism," are being misused to fuel pre-election narratives.
