I am convinced in the correctness of my decision - says one of the leaders of the parliamentary majority, the chairperson of the Education Committee Mariam Jashi, who did not vote for stripping Nika Melia"s immunity. Jashi says that she will not change her decision even in case of additional consultations.
She made a statement in the yard of the Georgian Dream"s central office where the majority session is headed by Bidzina Ivanishvili. At the meeting, presumably, the fate of the lawmakers should be resolved, who did not support the suspension of Melia"s immunity and went against the team.
"I am convinced in the correctness of my decision. I am sorry if I have created any inconvenience to my colleagues, but I will not change the decision, nor will I have any additional consultations.
"I think there are issues where there are different opinions, and I believe that my decision not to stop immunity was right and this is the main thing for me," says Mariam Jashi.
91 MPs voted for the suspension of immunity to Nika Melia.
Four members of the parliamentary majority: Mariam Jashi, Roman Kakulia, Bidzina Gegidze, and Aleksandre Erkvania did not share the position of their teammates. These MPs can be excluded from the ruling team today. From the mentioned four only Mariam Jashi is attending the session.
