Constitutional Court Chairman Revaz Nadaraia also expels Maia Kopaleishvili from the courtroom

Constitutional Court Chairman Revaz Nadaraia expelled Maia Kopaleishvili, a representative of the Coalition for Change, from the courtroom.

“Ms Kopaleishvili, you do not even have the basic courtesy to listen to me. You are also expelled,” Nadaraia told her. Kopaleishvili responded that she would submit a motion seeking permission to return to the courtroom.

“Mr Chairman, there is one thing you fail to understand: you think that proceedings at the Constitutional Court are about demonstrating power. You are here for a different purpose. You are the ‘guardians’ of the Constitution, not those who restrict our rights. I will still submit the motion because I will fight to the very end to defend my rights. I will file a motion challenging my unjustified expulsion. Georgian Dream will be delighted because it will no longer have to face questions from us,” Kopaleishvili said.

For reference, earlier today, Constitutional Court Chairman Revaz Nadaraia also expelled Nika Gvaramia, a leader of the Coalition for Change, from the courtroom.
