Zurab Girchi Japaridze speaks about possible risks of restricting political activity

Risks of restricting political activity

One of the leaders of the "Coalition for Change" and founder of the party "Girchi - More Freedom," Zurab Girchi Japaridze, notes in a statement released on social media that the ongoing processes do not imply only the banning of a few parties. According to him, de-facto political activity is being banned for a large group of society that has been involved in public life over the last few years. Interpressnews+4

According to Japaridze's explanation, the combination of the constitutional lawsuit, the law on parties, the criminal code, and the planned changes to the law on grants aims to restrict the political activity of opposition coalition leaders, members of their electoral lists, and those individuals who have received funding from foreign organizations.
