Everyone should know that no matter how they are instructed by someone from the outside, swearing and insulting cannot be a norm. Freedom of expression cannot be an infringement of human dignity, they should accept this, - I spoke about this - the State Minister for Coordination of Law Enforcement Agencies, Mamuka Mdinaradze, said during an assessment of the activities of the Department for Combating Hate Speech.

As he noted, "There may be a strict legal policy today, but in the medium and long term this will ensure that insults cannot become the norm."

“Our goal is for people not to accept insulting each other as the norm and not to establish it as a rule. This is precisely what this approach serves. There may be strict legal policies and solutions in this regard today, but in the medium and long term, this will ensure that insulting cannot become the norm, and it must be punished. After some time, perhaps conditionally, after 10 years, there will be human behavior based on morality, but today, as we see, it has become necessary to provide legal protection for all of this. Therefore, it is good that this has already had results - posts expressing hatred and contempt on social networks, appeals, etc. have decreased. If we go by this result, this is undoubtedly and without alternative a very good solution, which will even contribute to the normalization of relations between people. Everyone should know that no matter how they are instructed by someone from the outside, swearing and insulting cannot be a norm. Freedom of expression cannot be an infringement of human dignity, they should accept it and get a severe punishment and, if they repeatedly engage in the same activity, they will get punishment that Georgian legal policy has determined," Mdinaradze said.
