I had the opportunity to meet with the President of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, who, as the public knows, was the head of - the OSCE observation mission during the 2024 parliamentary elections, - the Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili, said after a meeting with Pia Kauma.

As the Speaker of the Parliament noted, the meeting discussed the events that have developed since the elections.

"I thanked her once again for the work that the OSCE/ODIHR Election Observation Mission did in terms of observing the elections and making assessments. It is important that everyone respects the OSCE/ODIHR report regarding the elections. Before the elections, we understood that the OSCE/ODIHR report would be a guideline for assessing the elections, but then it turned out that everyone was trying to turn a blind eye to the OSCE/ODIHR report, which clearly states the validity of the results that came after the parliamentary elections. Everyone is trying to express their personal opinions regarding the elections. We also talked about cooperation with the OSCE, as well as the recommendations that exist after the elections, both in terms of legislation and electoral practice. We also mentioned that we are working to ensure that the local elections are held even better both at the technical level and in terms of the electoral environment. For this, legislative amendments are also needed. We have implemented it and the CEC is working on the issues under its competence. Her position is what is reflected in the OSCE/ODIHR conclusion and what it and the entire mission spoke about the day after the elections. On October 27, when they announced that parliamentary elections had been held, Georgia had an elected government and it was important to work in that format, however, we see that the people who are Saakashvili's protectors, who are dragging Georgia into war and do not want anything good for Georgia, are ignoring this conclusion and these statements. Some are defending ISFED, some Transparency, some IRI, and others - USAID. In other words, those organizations that, ultimately, the new administration of the United States of America exposed for fraud and biased activities," Shalva Papuashvili said.
