Tbilisi. On February 28 the Public Defender has released opinions on declaring the local self-government servants as acting officials.In the Public Defender’s opinion, "this regulation clearly ignores the rights warranted under Article 29 of the Constitution of Georgia, which will inevitably become a subject of a constitutional dispute. If the Parliament fails to undertake measures on the disputed norm, the threat of violation of the citizens’ right to pursue activities in civil service will turn into the reality after the 2014 local self-government elections,” says the statement published on the Ombudsman’s web page.
