Salome Zurabishvili refused to resign and called for protests
Georgian President Zurabishvili, after the decision of the Constitutional Court that she had violated the law, said that she was not going to resign.
“I’m not going anywhere and I won’t resign. I will be where I have been all my life and why I came and stayed – for a European and democratic future. The time of the “Georgian Dream” is over, I will not live up to their dreams and will not go anywhere. Let them think for themselves which Salome Zurabishvili was better for them. It is important to me what kind of person this country needs me - as a free politician or as a president who will continue his mandate. The near future will show us this,” the president said. She also called on the opposition to "take to the streets and oppose this anti-European impeachment."
Earlier, the Constitutional Court (CC) of Georgia satisfied the submission of the ruling Georgian Dream party and confirmed Salome Zurabishvili’s violation of the law due to her foreign visits without government permission. Parliament must put the issue of impeachment to a vote.
