The addressee of my appeal was the Prime Minister. He has the right to declare a state of emergency

If we can prevent people from dying, why not take this step? - The Public Defender states and speaks about the necessity of postponing the elections. According to Nino Lomjara, the addressee of her appeal is the Prime Minister, who has the right to declare a state of emergency due to the current epidemic:

The addressee of my appeal was the Prime Minister. He has the right to declare a state of emergency and the state of emergency is the only reason for postponing the elections, the basis for declaring a state of emergency is the epidemiological situation. I also ask epidemiologists to make their predictions and tell us how much they expect the number of infected to increase after the election and whether the health sector is ready. - says Nino Lomjaria

According to the Public Defender, epidemiologists should take responsibility and make a forecast, and after this forecast, politicians should make a reasonable decision.

According to Nino Lomjaria, the basis of her initiative is last year's elections, after which the epidemiological situation worsened, and this year, the situation when the healthcare system was overloaded, 1 month before the elections:

"When the healthcare sector is so overcrowded today that we are talking about field hospitals, the question naturally arises, if we all recognize that elections increases mobility and the number of infected, what plan will the state have in 1 month? Why do we make this decision at the expense of human rights? We expect the number of infected people to increase in 1 month," said Nino Lomjaria
