The briefing of the State Security Service once again confirmed that the "global war party", with its local representatives, is fighting to somehow survive – for this they are inventing lies, - Guram Macharashvili, a deputy of the People's Power, told journalists.

According to him, everyone understood that there was no use of any prohibited chemical substances and that all this was disinformation to increase the intensity of the protest.

"The public clearly saw that all this was disinformation in Georgia, supposedly to raise the mood for protests. Of course, they didn't succeed from the very beginning, but especially in the following days, when it was confirmed that no one had any evidence. Everyone understood that there was no use of any prohibited chemical substances, especially since they couldn't even find people who had applied to clinics in those days. Therefore, the briefing of the State Security Service once again confirmed that the "global war party", with its local representatives, is fighting to somehow survive. For this they are inventing lies. This is unfortunate because the "deep state" is the source of all this," - said Macharashvili.

For information, according to the BBC, the evidence collected by them suggests that Georgia's authorities used a World War One-era chemical weapon to quell anti-government protesters last year. The BBC World Service spoke to chemical weapons experts, whistleblowers from Georgia's riot police, and doctors, and found the evidence points to the use of an agent that the French military named "camite".

According to the State Security Service, on the night of December 4-5, the substance "chlorobenzylidene malononitrile" was used to control the crowds, which was dissolved in a solution of "propylene glycol". According to them, none of them belong to the prohibited category – as for "camite", it has never been purchased by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
