The Georgian government has appealed to the Constitutional Court against President Salome Zurabishvili for refusing to appoint ambassadors to a number of countries and violating the country's Constitution.
This statement came from the press service of the Georgian Cabinet of Ministers, SIA reports.
According to Revaz Cavelidze, the head of the government's office, the reason for appealing to the Constitutional Court was the president's refusal to appoint ambassadors to a number of countries at the suggestion of the government. According to the Cabinet of Ministers, the appointment and dismissal of ambassadors is not within the constitutional powers of the President of Georgia.
"The government considers Zurabishvili's refusal to sign the relevant orders on the appointment of diplomats illegal. The Georgian government asks for clarification of the constitutional complaint regarding the division of powers between the president and the government regarding the appointment and dismissal of ambassadors and heads of diplomatic missions.
The dispute between the ruling Georgian Dream-Democratic Georgia party and the president began after Zurabishvili's personal visits to a number of European countries in March without government permission.
Then, the ruling party accused the head of state of violating the Constitution. Although she did not disclose the names of the diplomats, she opposed the appointment of a number of ambassadors appointed by her.
It should be noted that the Georgian constitution does not give the President of Georgia the power to participate in the implementation of domestic or foreign policy. Only the government has the power to decide foreign policy issues. This also applies to the appointment or dismissal of ambassadors.
