Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili, whose powers expire on December 29, speaks to protesters on Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi.
"I remain president and commander-in-chief. I am and will be the president for everyone," Zurabishvili said.
After that, she lost the sound in the microphone.
Earlier today, on December 22, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said that Zurabishvili faces criminal liability if she appoints new parliamentary elections or refuses to leave the presidential residence.
"I am sure that she will have enough common sense not to violate the norms of the Criminal Code," Kobakhidze said at a briefing.
No one would like to send a 72-year-old woman to prison, but by her actions she would have exposed both herself and her employees in the presidential administration, the prime minister added.
Mikhail Kavelashvili is due to assume presidential powers on December 29. Earlier, Zurabishvili stated that she was not going to leave her post, she considers both the parliament of the XI convocation and the elected president illegitimate.
