The decision of the Constitutional Court not to suspend the operation of the Russian law lacks legal justification, does not take into account the legal conclusions of local and international experts, and represents a betrayal of the Constitution by the judges, Nino Lomjaria, the founder of "European Orbit of Georgia", told journalists when she spoke about the decision of the Constitutional Court on the "transparency of foreign influence" law.

According to her, it is a pity that the court could not make an independent decision.

"The court had a historic opportunity to oppose the suspension of the European integration process, to prevent the government's uncontrolled access to citizens' confidential information, and to stand by its own people, who for months, despite government violence, steadfastly defied Russian law. Unfortunately, the Constitutional Court was not able to make an independent decision, it again came under the influence of the ruling party and failed to fulfill the function assigned to it - protection of the Constitution.

Georgian media and non-governmental organizations thank the two judges for their dissent and continue to fight against the establishment of authoritarianism and censorship in Georgia. We will continue the legal dispute against the Russian law, both within the country and in international institutions, and with the support of the Georgian people, we will definitely achieve its final and unconditional cancellation," said Nino Lomjaria.

For information, the Constitutional Court of Georgia did not meet the request to suspend the law "On transparency of foreign influence". In addition, the court recognized the submitted lawsuits as partially admissible, which means that their substantive discussions will begin.
