Irakli Kobakhidze, Prime Minister of Georgia, said that the list of parties included in a constitutional lawsuit seeking to ban certain political unions may be revised or expanded based on a new political configuration.

Irakli Kobakhidze was asked about the opposition alliance. According to the Prime Minister, all parties within the union were connected to the United National Movement or the radical opposition both before and after 2012.

“We will need to revise the list of party names based on the new political configuration that has emerged. It may be expanded, considering that these parties have jointly expressed their position regarding the current political processes. The list in the constitutional lawsuit may therefore be supplemented, and all relevant parties could potentially be included. Naturally, we will work on this and make an appropriate decision.

In reality, the two parties mentioned in the lawsuit are essentially represented again within the new so-called ‘Unity.’ Freedom Square is also a party that emerged from the United National Movement. All of them were closely connected to the National Movement until 2012, and after 2012 they remained specifically linked either to the National Movement or to the radical opposition, starting from the party chairman and including all the leaders.

Among them is Levan Tsutskiridze. It is known that he once participated in election fraud, and many people have spoken about this. In 2008, he was involved in the process of rigging the elections. Therefore, his statements are absolutely unconvincing,” Kobakhidze said.

Earlier, Shalva Papuashvili, Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, filed a constitutional lawsuit requesting that the activities of the United National Movement, Coalition for Change, and Strong Georgia – Lelo be declared unconstitutional and banned.
