Why would Kaladze need violence, aggression, my team and I are not used to fighting with these methods - Kaladze

Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze denies any connection to the hate posters in the capital, saying "Kaladze does not need unrest, aggression, violence and chaos."

The mayor of the capital argues that he and his team are not accustomed to fighting hateful methods, and calls the connection to the posters a slander.

"There was an attempt to pin these posters on my election campaign. At least logic is needed. And I will say directly what Kakha Kaladze needs from chaos, aggression, violence, chaos. My team and I are not used to fighting with these methods, especially when the people of Tbilisi personally  trust My team and I with the development of the city, it is the biggest asset we even have, it is both our PR and our weapon in dealing with opponents.

The lies and slander that we hear these days, does not harm Kakha Kaladze or the City Hall or the City Hall agencies but in general, it harms our city and oppresses the society, causes irritation in people.

I understand that when elections are approaching, there is an increase in false accusations and insults, which is very alarming. Aggression is on the rise, violence is on the rise, and I want to ask the staff of the City Hall, my supporters, all the fans, to never respond to this aggression and violence with aggression and violence. Let's overcome hatred, aggression and continue to do things with love, as we are used to," said Kakha Kaldze.

No to the UNM! No to evil! - Posters with these inscriptions appeared in the streets of Tbilisi a few days ago. In addition to the leaders of the opposition party, the banners also depict managers of media critical of the government. Banners have a homophobic content. Tbilisi City Hall claims that the removal of the posters has started in stages.
