Georgia called Zurabishvili's actions a violation of the country's Constitution

Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili's statements about the election results are a violation of the country's Constitution and also indicate her desire to organize a revolution. Mamuka Pipia, international secretary of the Solidarity for Peace party, told Izvestia on November 18.

"Madame Salomé is simply acting according to the methodology, and she wants to raise the revolutionary degree. She wants a civil clash and is doing everything for that <...> She is directly calling people to come out [to protests]. What is this if not a call? What is this if not a violation of the Georgian Constitution?" - he said.

Pipia also pointed out that citizens of the country who take part in the protests are breaking the law. According to him, they put tents on the streets and "burn whatever they can", spoil roads and block traffic in the city. The secretary emphasized that these actions displease local residents and interfere with life.

"[Salome Zurabishvili] does not recognize this victory, although it was the most honest election in the history of Georgia, because electronic ballot boxes have never been used before. And they were used in 91% of polling stations <...> She just wants to make a revolution. She wants to lead this process and is doing everything for that," Pipia stated.

Earlier in the day, the Georgian president did not recognize the election results and called for a new vote. According to her, the country is on the path of destabilization and dual power. She called on the citizens of the state to continue protests against the results of the parliamentary elections.

On November 16, the head of Georgia's Central Election Commission Giorgi Kalandarishvili signed the final protocol of the parliamentary elections. According to the final results, the ruling Georgian Dream party won with 53.93% of the vote and won 89 out of 150 seats in parliament. 2.1 million people out of more than 3.5 million citizens with the right to vote participated in the voting. Some 34,900 ballots were recognized as invalid.

On November 13, the Georgian Dream party submitted evidence of violations by the opposition during the parliamentary elections to the prosecutor's office. It became known on November 1 that the party was going to hand over evidence of theft of votes by the opposition to the Prosecutor's Office. Later, on November 6, the ruling party said that more than 400 such cases were revealed.

Parliamentary elections were held in Georgia on October 26. According to the Central Election Commission of the republic, Georgian Dream won. However, three opposition political forces - United National Movement, Coalition for Change and Strong Georgia - refused to recognize the election results.

Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili also expressed her disagreement with the results of the vote and called on her fellow citizens to protest. For two days, on October 28 and 29, the opposition marched in Georgia against the election results.
