The Georgian Dream says the amnesty bill they submit is in full compliance with an agreement reached between European Council President Charles Michel, while the opposition thinks that the ruling team made the document problematic.
"If any person who may be potentially subjected to the amnesty before granting of amnesty refuses to be granted amnesty, that refusal will not be irreversible and therefore the person who once refused amnesty shall be reversed if they are found guilty by a court. They should change the decision and overturn this rejection.” said the MP of the majority, Mikheil Sarjveladze.
According to him, preference will be given to the will of the person.
MP Salome Samadashvili is convinced that after the pressure of international partners, the version of the Georgian Dream bill will not be final, which will be adopted by the legislature.
"This record is about the fact that a person must agree to be amnestied, is clearly and openly directed to the case of Nika Melia, so what we are doing now is that we have started active consultations with our international partners, guarantors of this agreement.” said Salome Samadashvili
According to Khatuna Samnidze, a member of the Republican Party, the recording contradicts the spirit of Michel's document and the mediators will have their reaction to it.
As for the "National Movement", according to Zaal Udumashvili, it was expected that "Dream" would bring the bill in this direction, and this record is directly aimed at keeping Melia in prison, while other perpetrators have been released.
