The Constitutional Court is hearing a lawsuit regarding the banning of opposition parties

A process is underway in the Constitutional Court, where the Plenum of judges is considering the lawsuit of the ruling party "Georgian Dream" regarding the banning of opposition political unions. The chairperson of the Georgian Young Lawyers' Association (GYLA), Tamar Oniani, responded to this process, noting that the lawsuit has completely erased the line between protecting democracy and protecting power.

According to Tamar Oniani's assessment, the lawsuit represents a political statement rather than a legal justification, which paves the way for banning any political force that citizens have granted a mandate to be in the opposition. According to Oniani, the logic of the lawsuit aims to equate the ruling force with the state and to declare opposition protest as the overthrow of the constitutional order. Interpressnews
