It is a pity that the Venice Commission is guided not by legal principles, but by the political environment - if we follow this logic, it might be possible to politically tell the Venice Commission that yesterday's victory would not be good for the political environment, Nikoloz Samkharadze, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said.

According to him, the main purpose of the Venice Commission is to legally evaluate this or that law, not to make political explanations.

"It is very sad that the Venice Commission has recently been guided not by legal principles, but by the political environment created in the country. The main purpose of the Venice Commission is to legally evaluate this or that law, not to make political explanations. It sounds a little funny, in the conclusion regarding the CEC, it was written that it would be politically better for Georgia, no example of European legislation was given, in which country this is the case. If we follow this logic, the Venice Commission might have been politically told that yesterday's victory would still not be good for the political environment, someone should not have scored a goal. This is not the business of the Venice Commission, it is their business to make a legal assessment," Samkharadze said.

In addition, as Samkharadze stated, the opposition is afraid to state its own position regarding the draft law "On family values ​​and protection of minors".

"In general, the opposition is scared. They know the mood of the society, they are afraid to make their own position, so as not to provoke the anger of the society. They are in a difficult situation and I can somewhat sympathize with them," Samkharadze said.
