"'Georgian Dream' is becoming Lukashenko's twin - straight from the Kremlin," wrote Rasa Juknevičienė, the European Parliament's permanent rapporteur on Georgia and a Member of the European Parliament, on social media.

Juknevičienė called the demand by "Georgian Dream" to appeal to the Constitutional Court to ban three parties "shocking."

"Shocking news from Georgia.

Ruling Georgian Dream filed a lawsuit to ban 3 major opposition forces - the United National Movement, Lelo and Akhali-New (part of Coalition for Change). Georgian Dream is becoming Lukashenka’s twin - straight from the Kremlin’s playbook," Juknevičienė wrote.

For reference, "Georgian Dream" is appealing to the Constitutional Court to ban three parties. According to Papuashvili, the constitutional lawsuit prepared by the ruling party requests the declaration as unconstitutional and banning of the following parties: "National Movement," "Coalition for Change," and "Strong Georgia - Lelo."
