All accredited media should be allowed to be in the Parliament and cover the current day from the perspective it deems appropriate – Ombudsman

15-04-2024 12:52

All accredited media should be allowed to be in the parliament. Such a statement made today the Public Defender of Georgia, while commenting the decision not to allow accredited media outlets into the Parliament

“They should be allowed to cover from the perspective it deems correct - to ask questions and receive answers”, - added Levan Ioseliani.

Based on the order of Chairman of the Parliament, only the accredited journalists of the TV stations were allowed to enter the legislature and cover the planned sessions. The Legal Affairs Committee of the Parliament, in the first reading, is considering the draft law “On transparency of foreign influence”.
