New draft constitution - legislators are waiting for President`s veto

The constitutional draft approved by the parliament has been sent to the president`s administration. Giorgi Margvelashvili will either sign or veto it - the President has a ten-day deadline for making a decision.

Margvelashvili will probably use veto and will provide motivated remarks to the Parliament. The parliamentary majority considers that the approved project is a significant progress.

"We expect veto, it is likely to be so. I can not say exactly, but we have a legitimate expectation, "- said Davit Matikashvili.

The opinion of the opposition is radically different. "National Movement" says that the ruling team has received constitutional amendment in its own interests.

"I hope that the President will veto this one-party constitution that does not serve the interests of our country and does not reflect the will of our population. Is only about Ivanishvili`s interest, "- said Tinatin Bokuchava, member of" UNM ".

The "European Georgia."calls on the President of Georgia to veto the draft conxtitution.

"We think that the President of Georgia must use veto, we must use all legal and political ways to prevent the destruction of our democracy by the" Georgian Dream ", -Zurab Tchiaberashvili said.

The third president of Georgia responded to the fact on his Facebook page saying that as soon as Georgian Dream left constitutional balance would be restored.

The main law of the country was approved yesterday by the parliamentary majority on the background of protests outside the Parliament.
