Georgian Dream promotes ‘peaceful’ election environment

The Georgian Dream election bloc are calling on its activists to "peacefully participate” in the election campaign after it sacked a party leader ahead of the June 15 elections.

The political group announced the head of Rustavi city headquarter had been fired because of his involvement in an incident on May 24 between the Georgian Dream and United National Movement activists.

In a written statement today, the Georgian Dream bloc said: "Georgian Dream remains faithful to the idea of peaceful and free election campaign”.

"We dissociate ourselves from any kind of violence even when it is provoked by our political opponents.”

The bloc believed "the opponents’ provocative actions” aimed to worsen the calm pre-election environment in the country.

The Georgian Dream called on its supporters to support the election campaign and continue in a peaceful and constructive way.
