Constitutional amendments - failed negotiations in Tbilisi

The meeting scheduled in the Venice Commission was postponed for an uncertain period of time. The secretary of the commission today explained in the exclusive interview with "Courier" the reasons why the meeting will not be held in Strasbourg tomorrow. .Postponing of European consultations became necessary after a minimum consensus between the opposition and the government on constitutional amendments failed to be reached.

Another meeting on the constitution failed due to ignorance of the ruling team in Tbilisi. Giorgi Margvelashvili was waiting for the opposition and the Georgian Dream in his palace for consultations, but after the refusal of the ruling team the negotiations lost sense.

Instead of the presidential palace, the nonparliamentary opposition gathered at the office of "Free Georgia" party today. Political parties discussed how to force the government to compromise. The parliamentary opposition is still waiting for the government`s proposals.

Eleven days after Gianni Buquicchio`s visit, political forces have not started real talks yet. The process of finding compromise on the constitutional amendments is practically frozen.
