Georgian Dream announces termination of work in PACE
Georgian Dream is terminating its work in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), announced the head of the Georgian delegation, Tea Tsulukiani.
She stated that the conditions and reservations in the resolution adopted on Georgia are “unacceptable, unfair and unfounded.”
According to Tsulukiani, the PACE demand to call new elections “violates Georgia’s sovereignty and ignores the will of more than 1,120,000 voters (who voted for the Georgian Dream) and is categorically unacceptable.”
“To accept this reservation on our part would be tantamount to betraying our electorate and, consequently, the overwhelming majority of our society… Based on the above, we, members of the Georgian parliamentary delegation in Strasbourg, are ceasing our work in PACE from today,” Tsulukiani said, noting that this is a “command decision of the Georgian Dream.”
At the same time, she noted that Georgia remains a member of the Council of Europe and will resume its work in PACE “when the unfair attitude changes and the blackmail ceases.”
In a resolution adopted on Wednesday, PACE set a “probationary period” for the Georgian delegation’s powers, calling on Tbilisi to release political prisoners, review controversial laws, and calling new parliamentary elections.
