Imedi TV channel claims that Ihor Blazhevych from the Prague Civil Society Centre is involved in this, and special services have data on "upcoming unrest" — including from foreign partners. The TV company stated that Blazhevych "conducted training" and gave certain instructions to the opposition over the past few days.
According to Imedi TV channel, it was Ihor Blazhevych who allegedly instructed Pirveli TV channel to disseminate information about expected changes in the government.
Opposition media reject this. Pirveli called the accusations "lies and disinformation" and stated that Imedi journalists did not even ask for a comment.
Pirveli reminded that Imedi is under UK sanctions for "spreading Russian propaganda" and stated that the pro-government channel's statement is a deliberate discredit.
Pirveli TV channel called on the National Communications Commission to react and demanded both an end to disinformation and a full and clear coverage of its position on Imedi.
Representatives of the ruling party also commented on the situation. Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze stated that for many years "coup attempts have been financed by external interference," and the polarization of society has deepened, although, according to him, these processes are still ongoing.
