Parliament begins a discussion of a scandalous bill with third reading. The Supreme Court will discuss the criteria for the selection of judges in the Legal Issues Committee. Before the commencement of the committee session, the chairperson of the legal committee will meet representatives of the Public Defender"s Office and NGOs.
The opposition once again insists that the ruling team wants to strengthen the clan in the court system.
The opponents of the government and the third sector demand a return of the draft bill with the second hearing, but the NGO members do not have much expectation.
"The suspicion is that the influential group of the High Council of Justice will try to do what they want," said Giorgi Gvilava, Manager of Transparency International Georgia Program.
The chairman of the faction "Georgian Dream" explained the reasons for meeting with the NGOs. According to him, MPs will inform the third sector about the decisions of the ruling team
According to the opponents of the government, "Georgian Dream" completely ignored the conclusion of the Venice Commission and did not take any recommendations into account.
