Former member of the Georgian Dream ruling party Eka Beselia, who is now opposing her former party members regarding court-related issues, says that a current member of the ruling party Mamuka Mdinaradze mistakenly sent her a message which included swearwords about her.
When I received the message on WhatsApp I immediately guessed that it was not for me. The message, I guess, was for members of the ruling party, telling them what they should say about me so that their statements would be similar,” Beselia said.
Mdinaradze confirmed that he mistakenly sent the message to Beselia, but it was not a common message for Georgian Dream members.
Such things happen very often. I was writing to one of my colleagues and sent her the message mistakenly. I am thinking too much about Beselia these days and this could be the reason for the mistake,” Mdinaradze said.
Mdinaradze and Beselia have different views regarding the selection and appointment of Supreme Court judges.
Georgian Dream ruling party leaders say that the controversial list of ten judges for the Supreme Court of Georgia will not be discussed in an accelerated manner and discussions around the issue will take place in the spring.
Georgia Dream ruling party member Eka Beselia, who left the post of the head of the Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee at the end of December, says that she is facing a moral terror as footage of her personal life has gone viral.
Head of Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee Eka Beselia has quit the post and stated at a briefing today that her decision was related to the “hasty and unacceptable” process of lifetime appointment of judges with a “controversial past” to the Supreme Court of Georgia.
Ten judges who have been nominated by the High Council of Justice for the Supreme Court of Georgia have triggered controversies and criticism in the public and civil sector, as several of the judges “are affiliated with the United National Movement government and biased judiciary”, several members of the HCJ and NGOs say.
Independent MP Eka Belesia, who once was a member of the Georgian Dream ruling party, attacked ruling party MP Vano Zardiashvili during the hearing for a candidate to the Supreme Court during the Legal Issues Committee meeting of parliament earlier today.
Ruling Georgian Dream party MP Vano Zardiashvili, who recently was physically assaulted by now-independent MP Eka Beselia at the end of September, has announced his resignation.
