The "Coalition for Change," "Unity - United National Movement," and "Strong Georgia" have addressed a letter to Pia Kauma, the President of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly.

The statement emphasizes that the "self-declared regime" of Georgian Dream has no intention of releasing political prisoners or holding new elections. It asserts that the visit would be deemed appropriate only if it contributes to the preparation of new elections and the release of political prisoners.

The opposition political forces urge Pia Kauma to postpone the visit under the current conditions, arguing that it would be the best decision until the regime commits to holding new elections and freeing political prisoners.

The letter reads as follows:

Madam President,

On behalf of Georgia's democratic political forces, we express our gratitude to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and ODIHR for their unwavering commitment to ensuring free, fair, and transparent elections.

Unfortunately, the parliamentary elections held on October 26, 2024, were conducted with gross violations of constitutional and international democratic principles. The scale and intensity of falsifications undermined the legitimacy of the electoral process and public trust. As a result, the "parliament" composed solely of Georgian Dream deputies and the "president" elected by it cannot be considered legitimate and do not represent the will of the Georgian people.

In recent months, peaceful protesters in Georgia have faced illegal detentions, violence, and repression. Today, more than 50 people remain imprisoned, and hundreds are facing administrative charges.

The goal of the self-declared regime is to gain international recognition. Unfortunately, visits like yours are often used for propaganda purposes by the regime, further complicating the situation for democratic forces and civil society.

Given that the self-declared regime of Georgian Dream has no intention of releasing political prisoners or holding new elections, the visit would only be considered meaningful if it contributes to the preparation of new elections and the release of political prisoners.

Under these circumstances, postponing the visit would be the best decision until the regime commits to holding new elections and freeing political prisoners.

This is stated in the letter.
