Constitutional majority is one of the main threats for Georgia – this statement was made by one of the members of Republican Party Tamar Kordzaia. She made a press conference today. According to her, the main mistakes of United National Movement have begun when they had constitutional majority.
“Potential threat is real and may it be repeated by Georgian Dream. Some of them think that constitutional majority will be great opportunity such reforms to implement and so on. All this thoughts are not right. The main basis of judicial state is balance. The political forces should balance themselves. This is a basis of democracy and civic state,-Tamar Kordzaia said. 

None of the decisions are made without Bidzina Ivanishvili in Georgian Dream – Democratic Georgia- this statement was made by the member of Republicans Party Tamar Kordzaia.
According to her, Davit Usupashvili’s letter confirms it. She is talking about letter which was sent to former and acting prime ministers in March.
Depersonalization is needed, according to Kordzaia. As she said, two-partial coalition agreement and formalization was needed but Georgian Dream didn’t choose this way. 

The Republican Party will appeal the decision by Tbilisi City Court on election number for two subjects by CEC. According to the depute Tamar Kordzaia, she hopes that the appeals court will Satisfy the complaint of Republicans.
“Court of First Instance increased the power of CEC and gave it Legislative activities of the authority. Everything in the law is correct but CEC gave itself the ability of arbitrariness,”- she said.
