The President of Georgia proposed the creation of a bicameral parliament
Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili proposed making changes to the state order and creating a bicameral parliament. The head of state noted that there is no “real self-government” in the country.
“My personal opinion is that we need two chambers in parliament, so until we have a second chamber, we will not have local government in reality. Today we need to create - I say this theoretically - and today we need to tell and show our occupied territories what their place there will be. And leave their place open, but change the system to give this country more opportunities for political development,” Zurabishvili said.
Salome Zurabishvili will be the President of Georgia until the end of autumn 2024. Her successor will be chosen by an electoral college, which will include parties that overcome the 5 percent threshold in parliamentary elections next October.
