Davit Matikashvili: Just as the radicals and their agents have presented nothing before the Constitutional Court so far, they will continue to do so - we have repeatedly heard their boastful and loud statements

“Just as the radicals and their agents have presented nothing so far, they will continue in the same manner. We have repeatedly heard their boastful and loud statements,” said Davit Matikashvili, Chair of the Parliamentary Procedural Issues and Rules Committee, speaking to journalists in response to a question about the potential banning of opposition parties.

He added that the proceedings before the Constitutional Court would once again convince the public that the activities of the opposition parties were unconstitutional.

“It is noteworthy that since the hearings on the lawsuit began, apart from attempts by the respondent parties to delay the proceedings and their baseless and unfounded efforts to evade the serious accusations brought against them by the Georgian people, the public has heard virtually nothing from them.

We do not believe that the respondents will say anything of value in the courtroom from this point onward. We continue to expect attempts to evade responsibility and avoid the challenges of the Georgian Nuremberg process that they have faced following the submission of this lawsuit.

We have heard the arguments, and the public will once again be convinced of the validity of the lawsuit. We hope that the Plenum of the Constitutional Court will make the only correct decision.

Just as the radicals and their agents have presented nothing so far, they will continue in the same manner. We have repeatedly heard their boastful and loud statements. Our country and our people will once again be convinced that the activities of these so-called parties were, in the literal sense of the word, unconstitutional,” Matikashvili said.

For reference: Hearings at the Constitutional Court on the lawsuit seeking to ban opposition parties are scheduled to resume tomorrow.
