The Georgian Dream party complained that three opposition TV stations, including Mtavari Arkhi, Formula and TV Pirveli, showed a clip of "Going Home to Europe." In response, the Georgian National Communications Commission fined Mtavari Arkhi TV EUR 42.4 thousand and sent written warnings to the other two TV stations.

Due to the fact that Formula and TV Pirveli did not commit a similar offence the previous year, the Commission decided to just issue them a verbal warning, while Mtavari Arkhi TV broke the law twice during this time period. In addition, the Commission stated that Mtavari Arkhi TV was charged with the same offence four times between 2019 and 2021. The Commission noted that the TV stations broke the law by broadcasting the video clip during a non-election time since it was a political commercial. If there is no pre-election campaign, the broadcaster has fewer options for political and pre-election commercials; 50 days before the election, pre-election/political commercial insertion on a broadcaster's channel is illegal.

"It is clear that the purpose of the advertisement placed on the air by the broadcasters was, on the one hand, to advertise the demonstration to be held on June 24 and, on the other hand, to present the political union Georgian Dream-Democratic Georgia and their leaders in a negative context," the Commission explained. According to the commission, the Georgian Dream leaders are exposed in the video clip, which is meant for a large audience and serves to generate an unfavourable attitude towards this political party and its members and prevent their election.

Giorgi Gabunia, who is the acting director of Mtavari Arkhi TV, said that they will not pay the fine and will go to court to fight the Commission's decision."We were fined for a pro-Europe clip once again, and it does not surprise me. Moreover, they would not miss this chance to make our already difficult financial situation even worse," Gabunia said. "We have also heard direct threats that if another pro-European clip gets on our airwaves, our license may be revoked," Gabunia added. Nana Aburjanidze, the Commercial Director of Pirveli TV, had no doubt from the beginning that everything was determined and staged in advance. "I hope that at least once they might consider something objectively or that at least once the members of the Commission will make a logical decision, but again and again, they made another shameful, ridiculous decision," she emphasized.

According to Georgian Dream, the goal of the video was to disparage the ruling party and its ideals and prevent them from winning future elections. In response to the ruling party's complaint, the Media Advocacy Coalition, a watchdog group for press freedom, called it alarming. "Preventing the airing of movies that are critical of the ruling party is illegal and endangers the nation's pluralism. A modern, democratic state cannot operate under the same management principles," the Coalition emphasized.

The "Going Home to Europe" movement released a video on June 24 encouraging people to attend a pro-European rally in front of the Georgian Parliament. In this video, a family is shown displaying anger as they listen to speeches made by the ruling party and its allies on the Ukraine war and EU candidate status.
