If a person hides his face, the question arises, what is his purpose - i.e. He intends to at least break the law, Guram Macharashvili, the deputy of the parliamentary majority, said at the legal affairs committee of the parliament.

Macharashvili welcomes the initiative to ban the wearing of masks during protests.

"If a person protests something in a public gathering place, his goal should be for the public to hear it. And if its purpose is to prevent the public from knowing who is protesting, it is no longer a form of protest, and therefore the question arises as to what the person's purpose is if he covers his face. i.e. At least he intends to break the law. Therefore, it is good that this change is included, that a person cannot wear a mask during the action, because in this case identification becomes impossible," Macharashvili said.

For information, "Georgian Dream" plans to ban the wearing of masks during protests. In addition, the management team plans to implement regulations related to the import and sale of pyrotechnics.

In particular, a number of new regulations, prohibitions, norms of administrative and criminal liability are introduced in relation to pyrotechnics, part of which is planned to be implemented from February 1, 2025, and part will come into force from April 1. One of the prohibitions is that the demonstrator will not have the right to have pyrotechnics during the demonstration, and pyrotechnic products will be added to the list of prohibited items, such as: firearms, explosives, flammable, radioactive substances and cold weapons.
