The representatives will review the legislative initiative, taking into account the recommendations of the Venice Commission.
The Parliament of Georgia returned the bill About deoligarchization for revision to take into account the recommendations of the Venice Commission. This was reported on March 21 by the Novosti-Georgia portal.
It was noted that the issue is already on the agenda of the current week’s plenary meetings.
As the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament Shalva Papuaashvili clarified, the draft law, which is awaiting a vote on the third reading, will be returned for revision to take into account the comments of the Venice Commission and make appropriate changes.
The Commission concluded with its conclusion that the measures proposed in the draft law could lead to abuses and violations of human rights. It favored a systematic approach, while Georgia’s paper relied on a “personal” approach.
The EU’s advisory body proposes to solve the problem of the influence of oligarchs in the country’s political life through systematic measures in many areas, for example, through special safeguards in media laws, monopolies, political parties, fight against corruption, etc.
Remember that the adoption of the law About deoligarchization is among 12 recommendations for Georgia to obtain EU candidate status.
The country’s authorities say that he will comply with the requirements to limit the influence of oligarchs in political life, but categorically deny that the co-founder is under the criteria of an oligarch Georgian dream Bidzina Ivanishvili.
Earlier, a wave of protests took place in Georgia over the bill on “foreign agents”. As a result, against the backdrop of public pressure, the parliamentary majority rejected it.
