Mayor condemned what he described as a “hate campaign”, emphasising that differing political views should not lead to insults or physical altercations.

“What we are seeing and hearing is categorically unacceptable. These are deliberate actions.

We may have different political views and opinions on various issues, but that doesn’t mean we should physically assault each other, insult each other, and so on. We are politicians; no one is asking for love towards each other, but respect is essential”, - said Kakha Kaladze.
