“I believe we will be submitting the constitutional lawsuit this week. The lawsuit is ready, and the final stages of review are currently in progress,” stated Shalva Papuashvili, Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia.

Papuashvili explained that, given the complexity of the case, they are striving to ensure it is a well-founded and appropriately standardised legal action.

“We are actively working on this within the parliament. The lawsuit is nearly complete; the remaining issues are being carefully examined to ensure it meets the highest standards. This is a significant process, and the lawsuit must reflect that. Extremist groups are not opponents; they have no place in a democratic society. Enemies of democracy should not be able to exploit the democratic process against it.

Therefore, we have put mechanisms in place to prevent parties that violate the Constitution from taking part in the political process. You will soon see the details of the lawsuit. We have considered numerous options, and all past legislative shortcomings have been rectified. There is also a provision regarding successor parties. Ultimately, our primary goal is to ensure that those who oppose democracy are excluded from the political arena,” said Shalva Papuashvili.
