Georgian Dream MP Vladimer Bozhadze responded to a joint statement by four opposition parties, saying that their request to activate the 'Moscow Mechanism' with the OSCE reflects their anticipation of a challenging final assessment from the organization, which is expected to dismiss allegations of election fraud.

"The OSCE/ODIHR recognizes the election results, the proper conduct, and organization of election day," Bozhadze stated.

"The radical opposition has truly earned the label 'Moscow Mechanism.' We have consistently said they represent Moscow and Russian mechanisms in our country. They acted as agents of Russian interests when in power—signing over strategic assets, territories, and economic stakes, supporting Russia's accession to the WTO, lifting the visa regime after the war, and failing to sue Russia in any court. Recently, we secured a victory against Russia in the Strasbourg court. Now, their attempt to pressure the OSCE/ODIHR with the 'Moscow Mechanism' underscores their awareness of the final conclusions of the OSCE, which will undoubtedly affirm the election results and the well-organized election day. Naturally, there will be recommendations and critiques; when 2.1 million people participate in elections using new technologies, such feedback is inevitable. We are prepared to address these recommendations and critiques in a constructive manner.

However, the push to use the 'Moscow Mechanism' against the OSCE once again demonstrates how uncomfortable the final OSCE report will be for them, as it will definitively close the conversation on election fraud," Bozhadze emphasized.

Notably, four opposition parties have sent a joint statement to the OSCE/ODIHR, requesting the activation of the 'Moscow Mechanism,' which entails sending a special mission to Georgia.
