Tbilisi. Georgian Young Lawyers' Association released a statement about the Developments in Kvareli Municipality. "The developments in the Kvareli Municipality once again reflect the problematic nature of the provisions of the new Code on the "Local Self Government”, which provide the procedures for declaring mistrust towards the elected Mayors and Governors. According to the amendments, the City Council is granted the right to initiate the mistrust declaration procedures against the Mayor/Governor elected by the people, even without factual or legal grounds. We consider that this amendment creates the risks for stability and independence of the elected officials and diminishes the essence and the significance of the direct elections", says the statement.
