“In this country, power will change only through elections. We see that elections are improving year by year and becoming an example to follow. Yesterday, observers also noted that in many European Union countries, such a standard still does not exist,” said President of Georgia Mikheil Kavelashvili at a briefing held at the Presidential Administration.
“You can see for yourselves that several EU countries do not hide this. For example, the Prime Minister of Hungary openly stated that Georgia is an example of how a government should act, how a wise nation can achieve high results — especially in economic terms. Everyone sees this, and it is both a duty and a responsibility for each of us.
When it comes to security, it is especially important to highlight the actions of our law enforcement agencies and their high professional standards. Those who called for overthrowing the government, for violence or disorder, must know that they will face a particularly strict response. This is also what society demands.
Throughout our history, especially since gaining independence, we have been on a path where everyone’s desire is to see the country united, successful, and developed. Everyone must remember one thing: in this country, power will change only through elections. We see that elections are improving every year and becoming exemplary. Yesterday, observers noted that many EU countries still lack such a standard. An electronic voting system has been introduced, and everyone can see how well-organized the elections are.
Anyone who bears responsibility before their country and homeland, who feels their civic duty, clearly understands their contribution and their path. I bow my head before our society. I thank all state institutions and call on them to be strict in such cases,” said Mikheil Kavelashvili.
