Tbilisi - Georgia's former prime minister Vano Merabishvili said the situation in Georgia will change dramatically on April 19, when the party United National Movement led by President Mikheil Saakashvili holds a protest rally.
“Our party United National Movement continues its struggle, and the people of Georgia will see it on April 19. I promise a lot of new things. The political situation in Georgia will change dramatically on April 19,” Merabishvili, former prime minister of Georgia and current general secretary of Georgia’s former ruling party United National Movement, told reporters on Monday.
On April 19, the former ruling party, which was founded and is led by Mikheil Saakashvili, called on its supporters to come to a rally in central Tbilisi in front of the parliament building.
The Georgian media reported that he president will report on the dissolution of the government on that day. However, several days ago the Georgian parliament passed an amendment to the Constitution, according to which the president has no right to raise the question about the dissolution of the government and the appointment of a new government in the last six months of his presidential term without the approval of the parliament.
In the meantime, some Georgian experts believe there is a loophole in the new amendment to the Constitution. It is not known on what day of October the next presidential elections, which, according to the Constitution, are called by the president, will be held. If the elections are held after October 19, the president has a right to dissolve the government in the period between April 19 and the end of April because the new amendment to the Constitution will not be effective in that period.
The parliamentary majority finds the assumption that Saakashvili will dissolve the government next month.
The president has recently said in a recent interview with Imedi television: “I am not crazy to dissolve the government, in which the people of Georgia have confidence.”
