Georgian MP and former member of the ruling Georgian Dream party Eka Beselia has founded a new political party ‘For Justice’.
She said justice was the main idea in 2012, when the Georgian Dream came to power and the idea still needs to be implemented.
The first party gathering will be held on June 20.
Eka Beselia, Zviad Kvachantiradze and Gedevan Popkhadze will be the party leaders.
Zviad Kvachantiradze and Gedevan Popkhadze also left the ruling Georgian Dream party after Eka Beselia.
Beselia said she will continue consultations with different political groups and politicians.
MP Eka Beselia left the ruling party in February saying it ‘betrayed its values’ adding ongoing court-related row pushed her to make the decision.
Georgian MP Zviad Kvachantiradze has left the ruling Georgian Dream party and its faction in parliament.
Georgian Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze has stated that the Georgian Dream will definitely preserve its majority in parliament and that it is not a tragedy that several of its members have decided to leave.
Eka Beselia, former head of the Georgian Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee, has announced she is leaving the Georgian Dream ruling party, saying that the party had “betrayed its values.”
The Georgian Dream ruling party has asked the Council of Europe Venice Commission to get involved in the drafting of a bill which will set criteria for the selection and the appointment of Georgian judges.
