Sanctions for Zurabishvili: Georgian party talked about new rules for presidential rites

The leader of "Georgian Dream" party, Irakli Kobakhidze, said that the parliamentary majority will not observe certain rituals in relation to Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili, who was not impeached. This was reported by SOVA.


Kobakhidze said that "Salome Zurabishvili is an official who violates the Constitution."


"Of course, it will be difficult for us to perform the rituals that we used to perform. Such as, for example, a standing greeting when she enters the parliamentary session hall and so on," he said.


The politician claims that Zurabishvili is only a "formal president" and therefore certain rituals will no longer be observed.


Last week, members of "Georgian Dream" party did not give President Salome Zurabishvili a standing ovation during the consideration of her impeachment vote in the Georgian parliament.
