Members of the legal committee should choose the Acting Chairperson today according to the Rules of Procedure.
This time Davit Matikashvili will try to get this post.His predecessor, Gedevan Popkhadze, has been re-elected by the Parliamentary majority in 2 days and the procedural violations during the election of Popkhadze were named as a reason.
Only representatives of the ruling team will participate in the voting. The parliamentary minority will attend the committee sitting but does not intend to participate in the voting.
According to Otar Kakhidze, a member of "European Georgia", the opposition faction does not interfere in internal confrontation. According to him, it is necessary to make concrete steps to correct the situation.
The chairman of the legal committee will be voted for at the spring session.The confrontation was caused by a 10-member list of judges to the Supreme Court submitted by the High Council of Justice. Members of the parliamentary majority are demanding to recall back the list and develop new criteria.
Eka Beselia has also boycotted the 10-member list and named this list as the main cause of her resignation from the Legal Issues Committee.
After the confrontation in the team, "Georgian Dream" chairman published the first statement. Bidzina Ivanishvili accused Eka Beselia of going against the team. Former chairperson of the Legal Issues Committee responded to the statements saying that everything will be clear.
