The ruling Georgian Dream party of Georgia will support the early termination of mandates for parliamentarians from three opposition political coalitions, APA's Tbilisi correspondent reports.
Mamuka Mdinaradze, the leader of the majority announced the decision of the ruling party during the parliament session.
He stated that the deputy mandate is a tool of blackmail for the opposition, and the ruling team will not allow it to use it.
Mdinaradze has mentioned that there are deputies among them who wish to enter parliament, but they are unable to make this decision due to blackmail.
Note that the voting has been included in the agenda of today's parliamentary session.
