The court accepted the Georgian Dream's lawsuit to dissolve opposition parties.
The Constitutional Court of Georgia has accepted for consideration a lawsuit to dissolve three opposition parties.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," in October, the ruling Georgian Dream party filed a lawsuit in the Constitutional Court of Georgia demanding that three parties be declared unconstitutional and banned: the United National Movement, the Coalition for Change, and Strong Georgia - Lelo.
The Georgian Dream initiative is aimed at turning Georgia "into a Russian-style authoritarian regime," stated Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili.
The Constitutional Court has accepted for consideration a lawsuit by the Georgian Dream to The abolition of three main opposition parties, Novosti-Georgia reports today.
The court has up to nine months to consider the claim, the publication writes.
As a reminder, participants in daily protests in Georgia since November 28, 2024, have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners. They hold daily protests on Rustaveli Avenue. Security forces violently dispersed the protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and detained protesters. More than a thousand people were subjected to administrative prosecution. On November 3, the 341st day of continuous protests, activists briefly blocked traffic on Rustaveli Avenue, after which they continued their protest on the sidewalk. As in previous days, security forces detained several protesters.
On October 4, municipal elections were held in all municipalities of Georgia. Candidates from the ruling Georgian Dream party were elected mayors in all 64 cities where elections were held, receiving 100% of the vote in 26 of them.
These elections will determine the political balance in Georgia for the coming years. The next major elections in the country are scheduled for 2028, so the current vote is essentially a key one for both the government and the opposition, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Municipal Elections in Georgia on October 4, 2025".
The "Caucasian Knot" is posting materials about the recent municipal elections and protests by opposition supporters on the thematic page "Georgia: Elections Amid Protests".
