We call on the honorary chairman of Georgian Dream, the parliamentary majority to start working on the constitutional amendment regarding the return of the rule of direct election of President by the citizens of Georgia. Such a statement made today Beka Liluashvili, a member of the “For Georgia” party.

“This provides the necessary legitimacy and independence of the President.

Bidzina Ivanishvili spoke about the problem of balance in the Government, who recognized the problem of the unlimited and uncontrolled power of the “Dream” Government, but instead of solving the problem constitutionally, he proposed himself as the controller of Government. Power must be balanced, in a democratic system it is impossible for one person to be guarantor of state stability.

Therefore, logically, it should be in his interest to preserve the constitutional institutions of high legitimacy. Therefore, we call on the honorable Chairman of “Dream” and the parliamentary majority to start working on the constitutional change from this spring session, the head of state - Regarding the return of the rule of direct election of the President by the citizens of Georgia.

This experience is not foreign, many European states had to return to the rule of direct election of the president”, - said Beka Liluashvili.
