Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili made the announcement at a briefing today, stressing that the Coalition for Changes, former President Mikheil Saakashvili’s United National Movement and the Strong Georgia bloc have pro-Western views and all three “pose a real threat to the constitutional order.”
Georgian Dream has severed the country’s once-warm relations with the European Union, freezing Georgia’s accession talks and accusing Brussels of plotting a revolution in Tbilisi. The EU has denied the accusations.
At the same time, Georgian Dream has said it still wants to join the bloc, but only if it can maintain peace with Russia.
Earlier this year, parliament passed a law that eases the banning of political parties.
