Discussions on the President’s charter have been ongoing for two weeks. Neither our stance nor the charter itself have changed. Accordingly, we abstain from signing, stated Iago Khvichia, the leader of the political party Girchi.
“We want more than this charter. We recommend that the president begins work on a collaborative constitution to replace the existing one, ensuring that power is not centralized in one hand. I did not sign because I did not see enough arguments. This charter does not ensure that the government is decentralized. There is still a lot of work to be done on this text. It’s a good opening but not strong enough in the end.
These people seek a way to unite, and the president’s involvement is commendable. It would be logical for the parties to go to the elections with this configuration,” he concluded.
