“We should not judge the president for fulfilling her function,” this is how Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili commented on her impeachment process in the Constitutional Court. As Zurabishvili writes on social networks, even if the court finds a violation of the constitution, this decision will not gain confidence in society.
Salome Zurabishvili expresses hope that the Constitutional Court will not allow “the president to be incompetent in foreign relations and a hostage to government permission.”
“We saw purely political considerations regarding the president. They don't care whether the constitution is violated or not. Their complaints are purely political; they are angry and offended by the president. No factual or legal arguments are presented. I hope that the Constitutional Court will not allow the president to be incompetent in foreign relations and become a hostage to government permission. Even if the fact of a violation of the constitution is established, this decision will not receive justification and trust in society. The president's passivity in this particular situation will be much more destructive for the state's foreign policy. The President is obliged to act as our representative and do everything possible to obtain EU candidate status. We should not judge the president for fulfilling her function,” writes Salome Zurabishvili.
