Georgian Dream is ready for the Prosecutor General to be elected with a quorum of 3/5 and to include the corresponding norm in the Constitution. Such a statement made today the Chairman of the ruling party.

“Against the background of sabotage by the radical opposition, Georgian Dream is actively working to fulfill the 12 points established by the European Union.

Part of the mentioned 12 points is the revision of the procedure for electing the Prosecutor General. In order to fulfill this reservation, yesterday the parliamentary majority officially initiated the draft of the constitutional law with the exact content that was agreed upon last year based on the consultations held between the majority and the parliamentary opposition.

According to the draft law, the Parliament of the next 2 convocations will elect the Prosecutor General with a majority of 3/5, for a term of 6 years, and if the candidate does not receive 3/5 of the votes, the Prosecutor General will be elected with a majority of votes, but for a term of 1 year.

This draft law reconciled with the parliamentary opposition has no analogues in any country of the world. There is a simple reason for this - its content contradicts the logic of the governance system and elementary legal principles, which we will not dwell on today. We will only recall that due to the mentioned reason, according to our decision, the adoption of relevant constitutional amendments was stopped in 2021.

However, due to the fact that the fulfillment of the 12 points established by the European Union is a special priority for us, as an exception, we will turn a blind eye to the legal principles and accept the new rule for electing the Prosecutor General without any preconditions”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
