On July 14, 2025, “Georgian Dream” Executive Secretary Mamuka Mdinaradze accused “TV Pirveli” news service head Nodar Meladze of “agency speculation.” “This question serves your agency speculation, in connection with blaming others for your crime” – Mamuka Mdinaradze told the journalist.

This was preceded by the events of July 8, when “Georgian Dream” Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze linked the suicide attempt of the former head of the Adjara government to critical media “TV Pirveli” and “Formula.”

When asked who, according to his information, was accusing Tornike Rizhvadze of “corruption” and “patronage of deals” – as written in the circulated letter – Kobakhidze said: “I don’t know, there were specific television stations that were doing this. In general, the life of a person involved in politics is stressful. Including when they no longer hold a position. Countless lies are spread, there is countless insult, countless defamation. I can name specific television stations… for example, ‘TV Pirveli’, ‘Formula’” – Irakli Kobakhidze declared.
