As soon as the release of political prisoners crystallizes as a top priority, Ivanishvili will do exactly that: he will release the prisoners and drag us into the country's destructive, pre-rigged elections, - Nika Gvaramia, the leader of the Coalition for Change, writes on social networks.

According to Gvaramia, Georgian Dream will win the local elections and "will also "legalize" the parliamentary elections with a backdate and gain legitimacy at home and abroad."

"It is wrong to call for the release of political prisoners as the main basis for boycotting the self-government elections. I understand that it is an open wound and the most unbearable for human beings. But it is not right to make this argument the main argument either pragmatically or in terms of values.

In terms of values, participating in the self-government elections harms the interests of the homeland.

Pragmatically, as soon as the release of political prisoners crystallizes as the main priority, Ivanishvili will do exactly that: he will release the prisoners and drag us into the country's destructive pre-rigged elections. He will win these elections as well and will "legalize" the parliamentary elections with a backdate and gain legitimacy at home and abroad.

New parliamentary elections with a new administration and fair game rules; release of political prisoners; repeal of anti-democratic laws adopted after the rigged parliamentary elections," - Nika Gvaramia writes.
