Electing Gamsakhurdia, Shevardnadze, Saakashvili and Margvelashvili was a mistake - This logic destroys democracy - Giorgi Margvelashvili


The President of Georgia held a meeting with the Georgian National Platform on constitutional amendments where 85 NGOs listened to the President"s view on the draft elaborated by the ruling party.

One of the main topics of discussion was the change in the rule of presidential elections. According to Giorgi Margvelashvili, the political process has already been held regarding the revision of the Constitution.

"We should not forget that the political process has already taken place on this version of the Constitution. We should not forget that all political parties have left the constitutional commission in protest. Let"s not forget that the experts and the NGOs who did not leave, but stayed there, gave negative feedback on the draft constitution. That is what we see today, this is a document with a zero consensus. If you say that the president should not be elected and he must be chosen by 300 voters, the logic of it should not be that the Georgian population is not intelligent enough to choose the right president, but any other justification. See how many mistakes have we made, people !Electing Gamsakhurdia, Shevardnadze, Saakashvili and Margvelashvili was a mistake "said Margvelashvili.
