Georgia Ruling Party, Opposition Sign EU-led Pact To End Crisis By Irakli METREVELI
04/19/21 AT 8:19 PM
Georgia s ruling party and the opposition on Monday signed an EU-mediated agreement to end a months-long political crisis that raised concerns in the West over the Caucasus country s backsliding on democracy.
Ending the opposition s parliamentary boycott and paving the way for sweeping electoral and judicial reforms, the anti-crisis agreement tabled the day before by European Council President Charles Michel was signed by representatives of all political parties.
Georgia s main opposition force, the United National Movement (UNM), will join the deal after its (jailed leader Nika) Melia is released from prison as stipulated in the agreement, Salome Samadashvili, one of the party leaders who signed the pact in her personal capacity, told AFP.
Since then, opposition parties have refused to take their seats in parliament, and have organised several, large protests in the capital Tbilisi, demanding a new election.
The EU-brokered deal means that the opposition will now enter parliament, while Georgian Dream has agreed to hold new parliamentary elections if it fails to receive at least 43 per cent of the votes in this year´s municipal elections.
The agreement could also lead to the release from custody of opposition politician Nika Melia, chairman of the United National Movement (UNM), whose detention in February sparked the most recent protests and led to the resignation of the country’s prime minister, Giorgi Gakharia.
