Judge Eva Gotsiridze addressed the plaintiff side and noted that it will be difficult to conduct the process without clarifying the claims presented in the lawsuit. According to Gotsiridze, it is unclear, for example, which political party the facts from 2003-2012 should be attributed to and how the evidence should be distributed among the different parties. 1TV+2

For his part, Strong Georgia-Lelo representative Giorgi Sioridze stated that it is unclear whether the facts from 2003-2012 apply to the Lelo party, which was founded in 2019. A representative of the same party, Tornike Artkmeladze, added that it is not clearly defined in the lawsuit which respondent should answer for the specific circumstances indicated in the lawsuit, which, according to him, is a serious problem. 1TV+1
