We all share the patriarch's desire for peace. In this situation, it is difficult to imagine peace, - Teona Akubardia, a member of the "Gakharia for Georgia" party, said about this.

According to her, it is clear to everyone that the CEC wrote what Ivanishvili dictated to Kalandarishvili.

"As for the patriarch, although the patriarch has an important role, place and respect in terms of the spirituality of our country, of course there is a concordat, which means that the church does not interfere in secular affairs. We all share the patriarch's desire for peace. In this situation, it is difficult to imagine peace, when there is violence, the use of police force against young people, interference with the right to protest, freedom of elections is taken away by Ivanishvili. We will do everything to ensure that there is peace and democracy, not authoritarianism, which Ivanishvili established", said Akubardia.

At the same time, the oppositionist politician explained that they will not legitimize the rigged elections.

"I do not think that Ivanishvili will be in the parliament, even though he is number one on the list. There will be 89 Dream MPs elected as a result of illegitimate elections. It is a fact that we will not legitimize the falsified elections," Akubardia said.

For information, the Catholic Patriarch of Georgia, Ilia II, responded to the fact of the summary of the elections of the Parliament of Georgia on October 26, 2024 by the Central Election Commission.

Ilia expresses hope that "both the government and the opposition will be able to use the following years as much as possible for the progress and prosperity of the country".

"The process of revealing the election results by the CEC has ended, which once again confirmed the victory of "Georgian Dream" with a large majority of votes. We heartily congratulate them on this success," the Patriarch said.
