"Georgian Dream" Party announces overcoming President's veto

The parliamentary majority is preparing to overcome the presidential veto on the package of secret surveillance laws, and there is no time for detailed study of the recommendations of the Georgian President. This was announced by members of the "Georgian Dream" Party.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Georgy Margvelashvili returned to the Parliament a package of draft laws on the introduction of a new system of secret surveillance and wiretapping. According to the Georgian President, some of the regulations of the law do not comply with the Constitution.

Nino Goguadze, the leader of the "Free Democrats" Party, has called a package of the draft laws on secret surveillance "the worst package of laws adopted by the Georgian Parliament." According to her, the operational technical agency to carry out the wiretapping directly belongs to the State Security Service (SSS).

Zaza Bibelashvili, a member of the "European Democrats" Party, believes that the Georgian Parliament will overcome the President's veto.

According to Gedevan Popkhadze, one of the leaders of the ruling "Georgian Dream" Party, the final version of the draft law "was agreed with experts, including consultations with an inspector for the protection of personal data," reports the agency "IPN".
