The Georgian Dream would be consensus-oriented on the issue of the election of a new Ombudsman, reflecting one of the conditions of the European Union for granting Georgia the membership candidate status. Such a statement made today the Executive Secretary of the ruling party

“The Georgian Dream would object if any of the candidates presented by the opposition on the position had been observed in political activities.

You know that we will not present a candidate - we left this privilege to the opposition, although we were not obliged to do so, but we did not make it a subject of speculation.

The only disagreement that could be on our part is if any of the candidates presented by them have been observed so far to be involved not in protection of rights but in political activities.

The ruling team had a greater responsibility to somehow try to reach a compromise to elect the public defender, in order to fulfil one of the conditions of the European Union”, - said Mamuka Mdinaradze.
