According to the information of the Georgian Dream, a number of amendments will be made to the Organic Law on the Constitutional Court of Georgia. Specifically, as explained by the leader of the parliamentary majority and chairman of the “Georgian Dream” faction, Irakli Kirtskhalia, during a briefing following the session, “Persons associated with a political party that violates the principles of the Constitution will be banned from passive electoral rights, which implies the following”:
“They will no longer be able to run in parliamentary or local self-government elections, hold high-ranking positions, whether state-political or political, or become heads of bodies provided for by the Constitution. Such persons will not only be unable to participate in the country’s governance but will also be barred from party activities. They will be prohibited from being members of any party, holding any position within internal party structures, and creating new parties. Parties acting in accordance with the Constitution will be required to refrain from entering into any political-legal relations with such persons. Active parties must not accept individuals barred from political activities into their ranks or include them in party lists, otherwise, their registration may be canceled. Additionally, parties will not be able to accept donations from such persons.
In cases where political parties fail to comply with the decision of the Constitutional Court, for example, by accepting a person prohibited from party membership, this will result in fines under criminal law procedures,” stated Irakli Kirtskhalia.
