The
final version of Constitutional amendments is already known. According to them,
Bidzina Ivanishvili will be equipped with the political rights.
Today,
the constitutional amendments will be considered by the Legal Issues Committee,
which will be started in few minutes.
According
to the final decision, till 1 January 2014, the voting and participating right
in parliamentary and presidential elections will have not only Georgian
citizens, but also, citizens of EU member countries, who are born and live last
5 years in Georgia.
We will
recall you that according to the first version of the amendments, voting and
participating rights had persons – who are citizens of EU member countries,
born in Georgia and who
lived in Georgia
last 10 years. However, after the parliament adopted the bill with the first
reading, it turned out that Ivanishvili lives in Georgia only since 2004.
Accordingly, this change does not apply to him.
The
legislative body will discuss the amendments today on the second reading.
