The parliamentary majority opposes the Public Defender. The case of Rustavi2 and an initiative of the High Council of Justice on insulting judges were followed by debates at the sitting of the Human Rights Committee.

A controversy was caused by an announcement made by Vano Zardiashvili, the First Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Legal Issues. he stressed that there is a targeted campaign against the ombudsman in order to involve him in a fight against the court.

"For example, the title of the program " The Choice" would be such- "How spends Ucha Nanuashvili people"s money" and then they would show a car which costs 140,000 GEL, which you have bought for your deputy,"- said Vano Zardiashvili. Ucha Nanuashvili responded him, underlining that he was replicating the lie.

According to Ucha Nanuashvili, the representative of the parliamentary majority try to discredit the ombudsman. The Public Defender reminded to Vano Zardiashvili his past activities.

"This is an attempt to discredit the Public Defender. Until 2012, you worked as a manager of the Tbilisi City Court, in the years when there were a lot of facts of illegal decisions. Your spouse works as a head of one of the MPs at one of the departments of the High Council of Justice ... this particular parliamentarian often attacks the Public Defender, "Ucha Nanuashvili addressed Zardiashvili.
