Politicians evaluate the initiative of the President on tightening of procedures for granting Georgian citizenship. "Georgian Dream" thinks that the legislative body should discuss the issue of granting citizenship and that is not the president`s prerogative.

"I think we can think about the people who have originated from Georgia and nowadays live in other countries. It is not the President`s prerogative and the legislative body will think about this issue with the executive structures, "- Gia Volsky said.

Giorgi Margvelashvili`s initiative at this stage is unclear for members of "European Georgia". The party is waiting for clarification.

"If the President thinks that certain criteria must be improved or complicated, it does not need to change the law, it is the president`s authority. Therefore, we should first wait to specify what the President`s initiative is, "-said Otar Kakhidze.
"National Movement" speak about the need for more precautions when voicing . initiatives on granting citizenship,

"When one fifth of our country is occupied, the issue of citizenship needs a very sensible approach. I do not think it"s clever, because I repeat once again that Russia is seducing our citizens by passportization, " - says Nika Rurua.

By the initiative of Giorgi Margvelashvili, the Council, which grants citizenship, should be changed and experts and public representatives should be added to the public officials.
