International Chamber of Commerce In Georgia responds to the recent developments in Georgia and publishes an official statement, noting that IIC condemns government actions admits mass protests.
“The International Chamber of Commerce(ICC) in Georgia expresses its strong condemnation of the illegal actions taken by the ruling party, Georgian Dream, following the recent parliamentary elections. The government’s blatant rigging of these elections has sparked widespread protests across every city in the country, with hundreds of thousands of citizens taking to the streets to voice their dissent.
The ICC firmly believes that the Georgian Dream party has violated the Georgian Constitution, specifically Article 78, by halting Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic integration. This decision undermines the aspirations of a nation that seeks to align itself with European values and Standards.
In solidarity with the overwhelming majority of Georgians who desire an independent and free European Georgia, ICC-Georgia stands firmly alongside every peaceful protester. To demonstrate our support for this movement and amplify their voices, we have decided to go on strike for three days. Our office will remain closed until December5, 2024”, - the statement reads.
