NGOs: Amendments adopted by one-party parliament violate Constitution, target political opponents

Representatives of non-governmental organizations—Nino Lomjaria, Eka Gigauri, Aleksandre Baramidze, and Nino Evgenidze—held a joint briefing to discuss the recently adopted package of legislative amendments concerning political parties.

According to the NGO representatives, the amendments violate the Constitution of Georgia and are intended to eliminate political opponents of the Georgian Dream.

“On October 16, 2025, the one-party parliament dominated by Georgian Dream adopted a legislative package that enables the prohibition of political parties and the indefinite deprivation of political rights for individuals associated with them.

We believe that these amendments are incompatible with the Constitution of Georgia and are aimed at excluding Georgian Dream’s political opponents from political participation. This decision once again demonstrates that the ruling party is instrumentalizing state institutions to secure its prolonged hold on power,” said the NGO representatives.
