Salome Samadashvili: Lelo will not participate in the impeachment voting, if the opposition agrees on the above

The oppositionist, who will support the impeachment of the President, will be involved in sabotaging the European agenda together with Georgian Dream, Lelo MP Salome Samadashvili told reporters.

According to her, Lel­o will not participate in the voting, if the opposition agrees on the above.

"Today, the impeachment of Salome Zurabishvili is a step towards the sabotage of the European agenda, therefore any oppositionist who supports the impeachment will be involved in sabotaging the European agenda together with the Georgian Dre­am, and I am sure that he will be paid for it, because without direct bribery, I do not believe that an opposition deputy will be found in the parliament who will support this. Voting is secret, so the initiative for the opposition not to attend the voting is understandable. We do not have a problem, if the opposition agrees on this, we will not participate in the voting", said Samadashvili.

Regarding the impeachment of Irakli Gharibashvili and the charter flight, Samadashvili notes that "this is only one episode in a long corrupt history connected with the Gharibashvili-Tamazashvili clan."

The MP believes that the opposition should demonstrate through impeachment that it is fighting corruption, while the fight against corruption is one of the recommendations of the European Union.

"Regarding the impeachment, we have already held consultations with several political groups and we will continue these consultations. At the same time, we are working on the formal side of the procedure, which is related to the preparation of the relevant document. When the European Union's demand fight against corruption, when the European Union unequivocally tells us that the government does not fulfill the requirements, it is the opposition's obligation to demonstrate in this situation that we are seriously combating corruption, and the impeachment procedure is important for this," said Samadashvili.
