One judge considered that the confidentiality was violated, but there are 22 judges and a decision that sees this issue in a different way. Such a statement made today the Speaker of the Parliament, while responding to the decision of the Tetritskaro Court’s judge.

“You know that GYLA was the complainant in this matter. It should be emphasized that no complaint was filed on this issue on the Election Day.

We didn’t hear any announcement, only they remembered on the 5th day. If all the excuses were answered from their side, what they came up with was this issue. No specific violation was recorded. Among them, not even at the trial.

As long as I was tracking a specific citizen or voter whose complaint would be behind it, there was no such thing. In general, they appealed everywhere. Of the 23 courts or judges who heard the appeal in different districts, 22 held that confidentiality was not violated, 1 judge held that confidentiality was violated.

All 23 will go to the Court of Appeals, where the court will make the final decision. The fact that yesterday 1 judge interpreted the matter in this way is counterbalanced by 22 judges and decisions that see the matter differently. There is also common sense behind this.

If we follow this logic, that something like this is considered a breach of secrecy, then the presidential elections of Moldova, the parliamentary elections of Lithuania, Poland, other countries should be annulled.

If we develop such a logic, we can see that no envelope is used either, they usually take out a ballot and throw it in a lined, transparent or semi-transparent box”, - said Shalva Papuashvili.
