The lawsuit filed by President Salome Zourabichvili against the Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence will not have any legal standing or prospects, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated.

Speaking to journalists, Kobakhidze noted that the positive aspect of the lawsuit is that Zourabichvili, by filing it, acknowledged the legitimacy of the Constitutional Court.

“I believe this lawsuit has no prospects. It is impossible to argue that transparency is bad or legally wrong. One positive side of this lawsuit is that Salome Zourabichvili made the mistake of recognizing the legitimacy of the Constitutional Court, the same court that declared Salome Zourabichvili a violator of the Constitution. By doing so, she admitted that the country has a president who violates the Constitution. She admits this fact, which is very good. As for the lawsuit, I reiterate that it will not have any perspective, either legally or otherwise,” said Irakli Kobakhidze.

President Salome Zourabichvili has filed a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court, seeking to suspend and ultimately cancel the Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence, arguing it is unconstitutional.
