Minority complains about pressure on their MPs by majority
23.10.12 12:05
The lawmakers from the United National Movement, who are in minority after the October 1 parliamentary elections, accuse the majority MPs from Georgian Dream coalition of pressure and intimidation. The leaders of the majority held a special briefing today and spoke about the forms of the pressure on their colleagues. They say this method of pressure aims at winning over their MPs in order to gain constitutional majority in parliament.
Chiora Taktakishvili of the UNM said the MPs from the UNM, who have their own businesses, are subjected to pressure in particular, as they are threatened to have problems in their business. The relatives of the MPs from UNM are also being intimidated. According to the UNM leaders, they are threatened to face criminal investigations.
Majority leaders assert such undemocratic activities make it impossible to work constructively in parliament.
