“The Government of Georgia should not undermine the role of state institutions”
Tbilisi. Transparency International Georgia; Georgian young Lawyers Association and International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy released a statement. "We would like to respond to the ongoing discussion and uncertainty regarding the next National Security Council meeting. ...This is not the first instance when some of the crucial activities of
state institutions are impeded due to the disagreement between the
President and the Government. Discussion and arguments between different institutions or officials are
part of a healthy democratic process. However, recently, the tensions
between different authorities of Georgia go behind such process and
threaten both the effective work of Government, as well as the
reputation of state institutions and the trust of citizens towards these
institutions. It is also disappointing that the cause of controversy
and discussion are often minor issues rather than fundamental problems
of Georgia’s development" says the statement.
