Details: The MP emphasised that she holds no expectations regarding Georgia’s compliance with the strict conditions set by PACE. The Assembly has recognised the presence of political prisoners in Georgia and called for new elections.
Quote: “Yes, if there are new elections, political prisoners are released and justice is restored for protesters, it offers some hope. But I have serious doubts that the current Georgian government intends to fulfill these demands.
I believe that in April, the Georgian delegation, which consists solely of members from the Georgian Dream party, will be expelled from PACE.”
