“TV Pirveli” states that on April 16, during the news program “Qronika,” the TV company “Imedi” disseminated false information regarding TV Pirveli.

According to the broadcaster, the report claiming that an individual named Blažević instructed “TV Pirveli” to spread information about expected personnel changes within the “Georgian Dream” government is untrue. “TV Pirveli” notes that this information is “a lie and disinformation” and is not based on factual circumstances.

The TV station further states that while preparing the material, the “Imedi” journalist did not contact the channel for a retaliatory comment, which they believe constitutes a violation of the Law of Georgia on Broadcasting. “TV Pirveli” demands an end to the spread of disinformation and the full coverage of its position during the same news broadcast. Additionally, the broadcaster calls on the National Communications Commission to respond to the incident immediately. In the channel’s assessment, the dissemination of such fake news serves as an attempt to discredit independent media.
