Practically the whole country, all the institutions, except for the President, are in the hands of one party, and the government and the prime minister of that one party decided to change the course of the country, to stop the march of Georgia, which recently accelerated and became more hopeful than in previous years - no one has The mandate for this, - said the President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili when she answered the question about what steps she is taking to unify the society, based on the fact that "according to the Constitution of Georgia The president should be the guarantor of the unity and integrity of the country".

In addition, according to the president, when the will of the people cannot be expressed in the only form that exists in a democratic system - elections, and when people have the feeling that their vote was taken away, it is difficult to talk about unification.

According to her, the public first saw the illegitimacy of the elections, and then the illegitimacy of the mandate, thus "the Prime Minister made such a different decision".

"In democracy, there is one law and the main determinant, it is the will of the people. When the will of the people cannot be expressed in the only form that exists in a democratic system - elections, and when people have the feeling that elections and votes have been taken away, it is difficult to talk about unification. But it remains the role of the president to become one of the channels of this union. There is only one such way - that is to repeat the elections when the elections have led to what we have seen - massive protests. People do not see that his vote was reflected in these elections, and also, after the elections, it happened that the illegitimate parliament elected a one-party government for him. Practically the whole country, all institutions, except for the president, are in the hands of one party, and the government and the prime minister of that one party took it into their hands and decided to change the course of the country, to stop the march of Georgia, which recently accelerated and became more hopeful than in previous years.

No one has a mandate to change that. The constitution clearly states that all institutions of this country are obliged to use all measures to accelerate this Euro-Atlantic course. We received one - the illegitimacy of the elections and the second - the illegitimacy of the mandate, thus the Prime Minister made such a different decision. which is perceived in society as Georgia's turning towards Russia.

It is significant that this decision, which, to put it mildly, was poorly accepted by the partners, was appreciated first by Putin, then by Medvedev, Peskov, and Dugin. The leaders of all Russia congratulated the Prime Minister on such a decision, which is a revolution for us. We have been going in this direction for 30 years and not only. For 2 centuries and more, Georgian society and elite have been fighting in various ways and are fighting to separate Georgia from Russia's influence and control," Zurabishvili said on the air of "Public Broadcaster".

In addition, the President also spoke about the parliamentary elections. According to Salome Zurabishvili, the proof of the falsification of the October 26 elections is the people on the streets protesting the results of the elections.

According to her, immigrants are holding demonstrations because they are very angry with the results of the elections.

"The proof is on the street, what more do you want?" I am not an evidence collector, but the non-governmental, monitoring organizations have all collected a lot of evidence, and that evidence is in Strasbourg. Also, I filed a lawsuit in the Constitutional Court in 2 directions", Zurabishvili said.

As for why they didn't talk about secrecy and other violations in the elections in the first days, Salome Zurabishvili explained that they couldn't talk about falsifying the elections in advance, because it could be established.

"You say something like that, i.e. Should it have been a political position, if we had been told in advance, the elections would have been rigged? Until you find out that there is a mistake somewhere, it happened somewhere, it is not systemic. Then it became known that it was systemic and it was happening everywhere", Zurabishvili said.

According to the president, violations were observed everywhere in different forms and methods.

"I don't say anything about what was happening in the diaspora, where I was directly involved. We started working with the CEC 6 months ago. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs categorically refused, did not come to any meeting, it does not concern me. It turned out that without the consent of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, no one allowed the CEC (which was probably agreed, but still) the CEC had no way to open an additional district somewhere. We have more than one million people living in the diaspora and 34 thousand people were able to vote. There are demonstrations of our immigrants in 46 cities abroad. what does that mean They are the people who are very angry. They are the people who help their families, and when it comes to crucial elections for the country's future, when the fate of the country is decided, when it is either Russia or Europe, in this case, this diaspora was very eager to participate in the elections," Zurabishvili said.
