Badri Japaridze: Our task is to protect the country from the consequences of the gamble initiated by Georgian Dream - consequences that would inflict irreparable harm upon Georgia
"Our task right now is to protect our country from the consequences of the gamble initiated by Georgian Dream,' Badri Japaridze, one of the leaders of the Strong Georgia – Lelo coalition, stated following a session at the Constitutional Court, where the plenum of judges is reviewing a petition concerning the banning of opposition parties.
According to Japaridze, the objective of Georgian Dream is to strip more than a million Georgians of their right to elect.
“The consequences will cause irreparable harm to our country; therefore, our task now is to protect our nation from the repercussions of the reckless gamble initiated by Georgian Dream.
In essence, banning political parties means stripping more than a million Georgitsans of their right to elect. Georgian Dream seeks to coerce our fellow citizens into voting for a party of its preference, rather than the one the citizens themselves actually support. This constitutes a direct infringement upon the sovereign rights of the Georgian people—and, consequently, we must not allow it to happen,” stated Badri Japaridze.
