| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The Georgian parliament was unable to impeach the president of the republic, Salome Zurabishvili, on October 18. Supporters of the resignation of the Georgian president did not have enough votes. “There are 86 votes in support [of impeachment], one vote against. The decision has not been made,” Speaker Shalva Papuashvili said at a parliamentary meeting. The impeachment procedure for Zurabishvili in Georgia was launched on October 16. On this day, the Constitutional Court of the Republic ruled that the president, by going on visits to Europe on August 31, October 1 and October 6 without government permission, violated the constitution, namely Article 52. The impeachment procedure was initiated by the ruling Georgian Dream - Democratic Georgia party. This initiative was approved by six members of the Constitutional Court, and three were against. The government explained the refusal to issue Zurabishvili permission to travel to the EU by the fact that she lacks trust in foreign policy matters. The President, for her part, stated that she was going to the European Union to achieve the status of a candidate country for the republic. |
