Levan Makhashvili criticizes the European Commission report

Chairman of the Parliament's European Integration Committee, Levan Makhashvili, assessed the European Commission report as a document written by an "angry person" that has no new value. According to him, the report was prepared unilaterally by a few individuals in Brussels, without any communication with Georgian ministries or experts. 1TV+3

Makhashvili spoke about the "double standards" present in the report and cited as an example the people referred to as "arbitrarily detained persons," who, according to him, are being prosecuted in Georgia for committing crimes. The representative of the ruling team also criticized the demand in the report regarding the participation of foreigners in the appointment of judges, which, in his assessment, is a usurpation of the role of the Constitutional Court and interference in internal affairs. 1TV+2

For its part, according to information released by "Radio Liberty," the European Commission report notes that there is a "continued regression" on fundamental issues in Georgia. According to the draft document, the ruling party continues to undermine the country's path toward the European Union by attacking democratic principles, the rule of law, and fundamental rights.

Levan Makhashvili stated that the government is ready to restore dialogue with Brussels and provide detailed answers to any questions so that future reports may be objective and balanced. 1TV+1
