Georgian Dream is making a bold move to indict President Salome Zourabichvili just weeks before her term ends. The ruling party in Georgia believes her international visits were “illegal,” prompting them to push for her removal from office.
President Zourabichvili’s defiance of Georgian law by meeting foreign officials led to the government withdrawing her mandate to represent the country internationally. Despite a failed impeachment attempt in the past, Georgian Dream is determined to gain more seats in the upcoming election to secure the necessary majority for Zourabichvili’s impeachment.
Although the presidential office in Georgia is largely ceremonial following reforms in recent years, Zourabichvili’s actions during her recent visit to Germany stirred controversy. The president’s engagement with the Georgian diaspora for political campaigning raised concerns that she violated both Georgian laws and German regulations against foreign political interference on their soil.
As the political drama unfolds, it remains to be seen whether President Zourabichvili will survive this latest impeachment attempt and complete her term as Georgia’s last president elected through a general vote. Stay tuned for updates on this evolving story.
