Regarding the selection process of the public defender, a meeting is being held in the parliament today between some of the political entities. At the meeting, they discuss the rules and criteria for the selection of the ombudsman.
UNM, Lelo and Strategy Aghmashenebeli do not attend the meeting. Deputies of "Girchi", "Citizens", "European Socialists" and the party "For Georgia" from the parliamentary opposition are participating in the meeting.
Mamuka Mdinaradze and Mikheil Sarjveladze represent the Dream.
Mamuka Mdinaradze does not say anything about how the ruling party envisions the process of selecting an ombudsman.
"Until tomorrow, we will not say anything about what we are going to do, because we have not yet reached a final decision due to the fact that today we have to hear the opinion of the opposition spectrum regarding the method of selection [of the ombudsman]. Tomorrow we will have a meeting with representatives of the non-governmental sector, and after that we will make a final decision. .
In all cases, I can give you one general answer, that we will try our best to ensure that the process is inclusive and that there is no way for anyone to think that the ruling team has failed to fulfill this point. If someone decides to sabotage the implementation of this point, this will be clear to the society and our European friends, - Mamuka Mdinaradze said before the meeting.
