Tbilisi. The Georgian Young Lawyers' Association once again echoes the information disseminated recently by media outlets on the situation within local self-governments. In relation to this issue GYLA held a press conference on December 20. "Following the 2012 parliamentary elections, certain worries are reported concerning the replacement of leading officials of the self-governments (Sakrebulo, Gamgeoba) in the regions. According to the available information, some changes are happening naturally, however, there are cases when the replacements take place against the background of secret or apparent pressure. In addition, there are cases when the newly appointed officials go beyond their official powers, which will obviously have an adverse effect and tense the existing situation", - says the information posted on GYLA's web page.
