• On September 29, Archil Beridze, parliamentary candidate for the “Georgian Dream”, attended budget-funded events as part of the “Khelvachauri Days 2024” initiative. He attended the celebration along with the heads of the autonomous republic and the municipality. The photo material [1] published by Batumi City Hall clearly shows that the “Georgian Dream” candidate was involved in the event by the organisers.

Archil Beridze does not currently hold a public position; he is a candidate for a member of parliament nominated by the ruling party, so his participation in the budget-funded activity represents a use of budgetary funds for the ruling party's candidate’s campaign, as well as creating the perception that the event is organised by the party.
