The Venice Commission [VC] analyzes the legal aspects but does not consider the actual situation in the country, regardless of whether a law is adopted through an expedited or regular procedure. Such a statement made today the First Vice Speaker of Parliament, Gia Volski, while assessing the VC`s conclusion.

"In general, such a law should not be passed in an expedited manner unless circumstances force it. The VC analyzes the legal aspects but does not look at the actual situation in the country where a particular law is being adopted, whether through an expedited or regular process.

They are not interested in whether the police are being attacked with pyrotechnics, stones, or Molotov cocktails. In reality, the situation in Georgia required the adoption of this law in such a manner, and even those calling for a revolution would agree with this. Some laws must be passed promptly to prevent the escalation of processes that could devastate the country. As for the VC, its nature and purpose do not include assessing the local political situation", - said Gia Volski.
