Irakli Kobakhidze, the leader of the majority, made a special statement before the voting procedure and noted that the project is based on the agreement of Charles Michel, the "National Movement" signed the agreement after its annulment and it would be seen after the voting whether they fulfill the annulled document.

According to the Amnesty Project, all persons who committed crimes in connection with the events of June 19-21, 2019 and don't refuse to be granted amnesty will be released from criminal liability and punishment, as well as probation. The amnesty will also apply to a person who has prepared or attempted to commit a crime related to the events of June 19-21. The person to whom the amnesty is extended will be considered not to have been convicted. The project is based on the agreement of Charles Michel and is a legislative initiative of the Georgian Dream faction.
