Eka Gigauri: The position of the Senators is that first of all, it is the Georgian people who must fight for democracy - they will certainly help us build institutions

According to Eka Gigauri, the head of Transparency International Georgia, the position of the senators is that first of all, it is the Georgian people who must fight for democracy, as the people must decide what is best for them.

Asked what position the senators took on the issue of "clan" in the judiciary during a meeting with the non-governmental sector, Gigauri said that they were aware of the existence of a "clan" in the court.

According to her, it is necessary to reform the judiciary in the country.

"They will express their position at the press conference, they do not voice their position at such meeting. As you mentioned, they know that there is a "clan". All this was mentioned during the hearings, of course, it is important for them, this is why we have spent so much time on the court, as judicial reform is needed in this country.

The main thing that was discussed is that they are often addressed by representatives of different political parties and also others too, as if they are asking - you tell us, what is better for our democracy. Their position on this is that first of all, it is the Georgian people who must fight for democracy, the Georgian people must decide what is best for them. They will, of course, help us build institutions. They will not fight our fight, that is important here. We, the Georgian people, must fight for our rights and democracy", - Gigauri said.
