European People's Party calls on the authorities not to restrict the democratic right of the opposition and to return to constructive dialogue.

"EPP is deeply concerned by the recent legislative initiative of the ruling party of Georgia, directed against the biggest opposition party that is supported by one third of the Georgian population.

We urge Georgia to continue moving towards declared EU values, and instead of restricting the democratic right of the opposition to return to constructive dialogue, to find a compromise solution which would benefit all Georgian citizens", - reads the statement.
