Freedom Square presents “transitional plan”

The Freedom Square political movement has presented a “transitional plan” in front of the Supreme Court.

The Freedom Square’s “transitional plan” includes a vision of how they envision a fair electoral environment; what steps should be taken in the first 100 days after the change of government; and how constitutional order, justice, and strong institutions should be restored.

According to the movement’s representatives, Georgia is currently in a “deep political and institutional crisis.” According to them, “the seizure of power and uncontrolled power” have weakened the state and “destroyed the trust of citizens.”

According to them, under conditions of “illegitimate governance,” the country is isolated, which, they say, contradicts Georgia’s peaceful, dignified, and Western future.

According to Levan Tsutskiridze, one of the leaders of the Freedom Square, the movement has developed a vision in recent months that describes the ways to continue fight against the authoritarian regime and the mechanisms for a peaceful change of government.

According to him, Freedom Square believes that society should know in advance what changes will be implemented in the country in the event of the Georgian Dream leaving power. According to Tsutskiridze, work on the transition plan has been ongoing for several months.

“Over the past months, we have published a vision of how to continue the fight against authoritarian regimes and how to remove them from power.

We, Freedom Square, believe that the public should know what will change in the country if the Georgian Dream changes. We have been working on such a plan for the past few months. The plan includes key issues that are needed to restore accountable government and return democratic order to the country. Therefore, the transition plan envisages reforms that will bring about changes. This concerns the functioning of the government, the distribution of power, the electoral balance of power, social issues, and the complete liberation of public services from party control. These are minimal changes in order to be able to solve other more important problems,” Tsutskiridze said.
