According to Mamuka Mdinaradze, chairman of the Georgian Dream faction, the ruling party has not filed a complaint against the constitutionality of the Georgian President'svisits abroad, but a lawsuit, which should establish facts and define competences.

As he told reporters, the Constitutional Court must determine on the basis of this lawsuit whether the President had attempted to have more influence over the processes than was provided for in the Constitution.

According to Mdinaradze, the interpretation that the lawsuit filed with the Constitutional Court is a previous stage of the impeachment of the President is incorrect.

"Complaint, in a broader sense, aims to impose sanctions on a particular person. Therefore, we have not filed a complaint. It is only a lawsuit, which will establish facts and define competences. The explanation of the separation of competencies cannot be called the result of a complaint. Therefore, no one will sue the President. A lawsuit will be filed solely and exclusively for clarification. Some have decided to interpret our lawsuit as some kind of previous stage of impeachment. The lawsuit will be filed with the Constitutional Court solely for the purpose of clarifying the separation of powers and establishing at the same time whether the President had attempted to exert more influence over the proceedings than was provided for in the Constitution.

If Salome Zurabishvili was on a private visit abroad, then why did the President's administration tell us to speed up sittings? Did they want to provide information about private visits?! And if it was not a private visit, but a visit paid by her as a President, then we are dealing with another case and it is a violation of the Constitution. They should say it was a private visit or a visit paid by her as a President," Mdinaradze said.

According to him, the fact that the Constitution was violated is proved by one and perhaps the only fact that the Georgian Government has sent a refusal to the President of Georgia in writing.

"No additional evidence is needed to prove that the President violated the Constitution. As for the budget obligations and other issues, these are a completely different field and I have heard suspicions about these issues from the media," Mdinaradze said.
