Lelo's Sioridze: Party bans will be defining chapter in Georgian Dream's political and historical verdict

“The banning of parties is a matter that will stand as a very significant episode in the political and historical verdict on Georgian Dream,” declared Giorgi Sioridze, a member of Lelo–Strong Georgia.

Sioridze argued that Georgian Dream has no idea how this process is to continue or how it is to end.

“They have embarked upon an extraordinarily dangerous game and today find themselves thoroughly confused, having lost the plot even before their own master, Ivanishvili. For so many months now, this process was supposed to have been initiated at the Constitutional Court, yet we have seen not a single action, not a single step taken, which is a sign that they do not know how this process is to continue or how it is to end.

Ultimately, all of this is propelling the country into a downward spiral, whose consequences extend far beyond political crisis and isolation. It brings with it poverty, soaring unemployment, rising prices, and an overwhelming burden that weighs heavily on every citizen. Georgian Dream bears responsibility for this. Now, whatever steps they take in this direction will only deepen the crisis and the polarisation further, and it will all come back to haunt Georgian Dream in the end,” declared Sioridze.

For the record, the Federalist Party is to be added to the constitutional lawsuit seeking the prohibition of several parties. Speaker of Parliament Shalva Papuashvili announced that Georgian Dream will submit the relevant lawsuit to the Constitutional Court today.

Speaker of Parliament Shalva Papuashvili submitted a constitutional lawsuit on October 28, 2025, challenging the constitutionality and seeking the prohibition of the United National Movement, the Coalition for Change, and Strong Georgia – Lelo. The Constitutional Court published the lawsuit regarding the ban on the three political groups on November 4.
