People’s Power party leaves parliamentary majority, moves to opposition

The political party People’s Power on Friday said it would leave the parliamentary majority and move into opposition, with party MP Guram Macharashvili saying the move would aim to contribute to “forming a healthy opposition in the country”.

He further added the party had made the decision because “there is practically no healthy opposition in the country, and we have a so-called radical opposition funded by foreign forces”.

Unfortunately, along with all the problems, there is a problem in the country that there is practically no opposition, there is no healthy force that should fulfil its role [...] to debate with the Government for the development of the country, to criticise the Government for progress”, Macharashvili claimed.

He further vowed the party would  create a “political platform that will operate in a mode of healthy opposition”.
