Direct, crude political attacks are being launched against constitutional justice, yet the European bureaucracy remains silent—this is a clear-cut case of double standards; unfortunately, European bureaucrats are acting outside the established rules - Irakli Kobakhidze

"When the Constitutional Court is simply reviewing a specific lawsuit—regardless of its significance—direct, crude political attacks are launched against constitutional justice," stated Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze to journalists.

According to the head of government, there are specific, highly egregious actions taking place, yet the European bureaucracy remains silent on the matter. "Naturally, there is a double standard here as well. There are specific, very egregious actions—yet the European bureaucracy remains silent about them, because different political interests are at play. In our case, however, when the Constitutional Court is simply reviewing a specific claim—regardless of its significance—direct and blatant political attacks are launched against the constitutional justice system. It is a very clear-cut double standard. Unfortunately, modern international politics is not based on rules; European bureaucrats are acting outside the framework of rules—a fact that is entirely obvious to the Georgian public," stated the Prime Minister.
