The letter says that the Georgian Dream (GD) government is only focused on getting international recognition for its flawed results from October 26. The opposition parties say this is an illegitimate government, with a one-party parliament and president.

**Separate Letter from for Georgia**

A fourth , Gakharia for Georgia, has also written a separate letter to Pia Kauma. Their leader, Giorgi Kakharia, says that the OSCE President’s visit could have bad consequences for the people of Georgia fighting for democracy and a European future.
