Cynical billboards have appeared in Georgia

The ruling party of Georgia contrasts the horrific footage of the destruction inflicted by Russia in the bloody war with new buses, bridges, fountains and new buildings in Batumi. The height of cynicism in this video and on the banners is the inscription: “Say no to war! Choose peace.”

The footage and billboards also feature election numbers of Georgian opposition parties and associations. Thus, the pro-Russian Georgian Dream party is hinting that this could happen if the opposition comes to power.

It is worth noting that Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili criticized the banners. The country's leader called them “shameful and pathetic.”

How pathetic do you have to be to shamelessly offer your people a poster made in the KGB forge, Zurabishvili wrote online.

At the same time, the Georgian Dream party quite calmly admits that the billboards and videos are part of the election campaign, the purpose of which is supposedly to remind the population “where the opposition is leading the country.” Pro-government, pro-Russian politicians claim that Georgia will face war if the opposition comes to power.
