Additional information:

The ruling Georgian Dream party has filed a complaint with the Communications Commission against opposition TV channels, invoking recently adopted amendments to the broadcasting law. The complaint against Formula TV centers on its use of phrases such as "illegitimate Parliament," "oligarch's regime," "prisoners of the regime," "lawless government," and "court of clans." Under the new legislation, possible penalties include a warning, a fine, or the suspension of the broadcaster's license.
