• On September 19, a party event of “Georgian Dream” was held in Rustavi. Teachers employed in schools and kindergartens, as well as public servants, attended the meeting. Prior to that, it was reported that Tsalka and Marneuli kindergartens had closed a few hours earlier, most likely due to kindergartens' employees' presence at a party meeting. 

This is a concern, as it may be the result of the coercion of subordinates or other dependent individuals to participate in the election campaign. Under Article 150 of the Criminal Code, it is unlawful to coerce an individual to perform an action abstinence from which is their right. Furthermore, prematurely closing kindergartens to allow personnel to attend a party meeting is an illegal use of administrative resources and demonstrates the systematic nature of the problem.
