格鲁吉亚宪法法院开庭审理取缔五大反对党诉讼：执政党称其「对宪法秩序构成真正威胁」，裁决最迟2027年6月作出
第比利斯——据路透社报道，格鲁吉亚一家法院10月21日开庭，审理由政府提起的要求全面取缔该国五大主要反对党的诉讼；公民社会团体称此举预示着这个南高加索国家一党统治的开始。位于黑海城市巴统的宪法法院将用三天时间审查该诉讼；诉讼由执政党「格鲁吉亚梦想」党在一年前首次提起。宪法法院的裁决为终局裁决、在格鲁吉亚国内不可上诉，必须在2027年6月前作出。
路透社称，这起诉讼是自「格鲁吉亚梦想」党在2024年议会选举中获胜以来政府打击政治反对派行动的顶点；反对派称那次选举被操纵。自2012年以来执政的「格鲁吉亚梦想」党寻求取缔这五个政党，理由是它们「对宪法秩序构成真正威胁」。被列入诉讼的政党之一「阿哈利—变革联盟」外交书记格奥尔基·布提卡什维利（Giorgi Butikashvili）表示，这一裁决事关「剥夺格鲁吉亚社会很大一部分人的真正政治选择，并从根本上改变该国政治制度的性质」。人权组织和格鲁吉亚正寻求加入的欧盟也谴责了「格鲁吉亚梦想」党的做法。
路透社报道称，格鲁吉亚曾是苏联解体后最亲西方、最民主的新兴国家之一，自2022年俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰以来，该国日益走向威权并加深与莫斯科的关系。「格鲁吉亚梦想」党则表示，它是在保护国家免受反对派人物的侵害，称这些人试图夺权并煽动与俄罗斯的灾难性战争；俄罗斯曾在2008年与格鲁吉亚进行过一场短暂战争并获胜。
Georgian Court Begins Hearing Lawsuit Seeking Ban on Five Main Opposition Parties; Ruling Due by June 2027
TBILISI — A court in Georgia opened hearings on Wednesday, October 21, in a lawsuit filed by the government seeking outright bans on the five main opposition parties, in a move that civil society groups say presages the beginning of one-party rule in the South Caucasus country, Reuters reported. The Constitutional Court in the Black Sea city of Batumi will meet for three days to review the suit, first filed by the ruling Georgian Dream party a year ago. The court, whose ruling is final and cannot be appealed in Georgia, must give its decision by June 2027.
The lawsuit marks the culmination of government efforts to crack down on the political opposition since Georgian Dream clinched victory in a 2024 parliamentary election that the opposition says was rigged, Reuters reported. Georgian Dream, in power since 2012, is seeking to outlaw the five parties on the grounds that they pose "a real threat to the constitutional order". "The ruling is about depriving a large part of Georgian society of genuine political choice and fundamentally changing the nature of the country's political system," said Giorgi Butikashvili, the foreign secretary of the Ahali-Coalition for Change, a party named in the lawsuit. Rights groups and the European Union, which Georgia is seeking to join, have also condemned Georgian Dream's move.
Once among the most democratic and pro-Western of the successor states to emerge from the Soviet Union, Georgia has turned increasingly authoritarian and deepened ties with Moscow since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Reuters reported. Georgian Dream says it is protecting the country from opposition figures who it says are trying to seize power and foment a catastrophic war with Russia, which fought and won a short war with Georgia in 2008.
