I aimed to form a technical government with 4 pro-European parties, in order to facilitate the start of this coalition, we were not given such a chance by the ruling party, which would in all circumstances retain 30% of the positions in the parliament and be a democratic opposition force. This path was not chosen, they chose dictatorship and not democracy, - Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili said in an interview given to "Deutsche Welle".

According to her, "Georgian Dream" aspired to obtain a constitutional majority, which explains the extent of the violations observed during the elections.

"First of all, "Georgian Dream" has no intention of creating a coalition with anyone, they have the majority. They were hoping to get a constitutional majority, and I think it explains the level of violations, that they aimed for 60% of the vote to continue with a program that meant first impeaching the president, then arresting opposition forces and prosecuting some opposition parties. I don't think this is a program for the coalition. The coalition was a program of pro-European forces. I aimed to form a technical government with 4 pro-European parties to facilitate the launch of this coalition. We were not given a similar chance by the ruling party, which would have kept 30% of the positions in the parliament under all conditions and would have been a democratic opposition force. This path was not chosen, they chose dictatorship and not democracy," said the President.
