The President’s actions appear to be an attempt to undermine our state. Such a statement made today the Speaker of the Parliament.

“I want to urge those who support her to advise against opening the Pandora’s box of constitutional disobedience. After October 16, it is abundantly clear to our international partners that such a visit would be a violation of the Georgian Constitution.

Therefore, it is crucial that they do not endorse any actions that would contravene our Constitution. Respecting our country is synonymous with respecting our Constitution. If our Constitution stipulates that the President cannot undertake visits without government approval, our partners should honor that provision.

While many people appreciate our Khinkali and Khachapuri, including those from the occupying country, respecting our country requires more than just appreciating our cuisine. Anyone seeking to show respect to the Georgian people and the Georgian state must first and foremost respect our Constitution. Our expectation is that if there are requests for such visits and meetings without government approval, they should be declined”, - said Shalva Papuashvili.
