We used to think that declaring political parties unconstitutional required a majority in the Georgian parliament. However, if they continue to do this, we could take the same step without a majority, said Irakli Kobihidze, the Prime Minister of Georgia.
According to the Prime minister, there are talks of filing a lawsuit against the constitution, which according to his explanation requires a small group of deputies.
Kobakhidze also says that the opposition may be so weak that such measures are not necessary.
“During the election period, we discussed declaring political groups unconstitutional. We linked this to a constitutional majoritiy, but if they continue in this manner, we could take this step without a majority. In this case, if they continue to act against the constitutional arrangements they will make the right decision. They have limited resources, so I believe they will stop soon. They will be given the appropriate instructions and, unfortunately or fortunately I don’t remember, they may end up in the parliament.
We are talking about a constitutional suit, which only requires a few deputies. This is more than enough. We can discuss the issue if they continue to violate the constitutional arrangements. On the other hand, because the opposition is so weak today, it might not be necessary to take these measures, even though it would be good for the long-term stability of the country,” said Kobakhidze.
