The autumn session of the Parliament will open next week – on September 2. According to the Parliament’s Rules of Procedure, the autumn session opens on the first Tuesday of September and closes on the third Friday of December.
The first plenary session of the autumn session will presumably be devoted to issues related to personnel issues – resignation of Anri Okhanashvili from the post of Head of the State Security Service and the election of Mamuka Mdinaradze to the said position. In addition, the Parliament will also make a decision on the issue of recognizing the powers of the successors of the deputies of the party Gakharia for Georgia, whose mandates have been terminated.
One of the main topics of discussion within the framework of the autumn session of the Parliament will be the conclusion of the temporary investigative commission. The conclusion is 430 pages long and, according to the chairwoman of the commission, Tea Tsulukiani, “it contains all the facts and actions that the National Movement, Mikheil Saakashvili and their associates have been committing since November 2003 to the present day.”
It is expected that at the start of the autumn session, a legislative package of the Georgian Dream will be submitted to the parliament, as a result of which a person who has suffered property damage as a result of a number of crimes will have the opportunity to compensate for the damage in a simplified manner. The amendments introduce a mechanism that allows the victim to compensate for the damage both from the person who committed the crime, and from the close relative of this person and from the property seized from the related person. The Georgian Dream bill was adopted in two hearings and only the third – editorial content – remains to be discussed.
The Bureau will decide on the agenda of the first plenary session of the autumn session of the Parliament. The Bureau meeting will be held on September 1.
