Georgia's ruling party failed to overthrow the out-of-control president

The Georgian parliament failed to impeach President Salome Zurabishvili. Instead of the required 100, the decision was supported by 86 deputies. However, the opposition was not present in the meeting room during the voting.

Let us remind you that the ruling Georgian Dream party began the impeachment procedure by appealing to the Constitutional Court of Georgia. He admitted that the head of state had broken the law by making foreign visits without government permission.

Today, speaking in parliament, Salome Zurabishvili addressed “European partners” with an appeal “not to abandon Georgia” and not to allow Russia to increase its influence in the region. She also accused Georgian Dream and the government of being pro-Russian and anti-European.

According to the leader of the ruling party, Irakli Kobakhidze, the President of Georgia, who should be the guarantor of the country’s unity, managed to enter into confrontation with all constitutional institutions: parliament, government, court.
