On October 22, Irakli Chikovani, a member of parliament for the ruling Georgian Dream party, claimed that the bill's amendments to the Georgian Law on Assemblies and Demonstrations prohibiting the construction of structures during public gatherings were necessary for stability and that the parliament would override President Salome Zourabichvili's veto of the measure.

Chikovani emphasized that the measure, which was put out by the Georgian Dream last month to prohibit the installation of temporary constructions like tents during protests on particular occasions, was not in any way an infringement on human rights. 

On the same day, Irakli Kobakhidze, the head of the ruling Georgian Dream party, said the Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili only nominally represented her position after the voting on her impeachment at the parliament following the Constitutional Court's ruling that she had violated the Constitution through holding foreign visits without the Government's authorization. 

Kobakhidze stated that the majority of the parliament would not rise to greet Zourabichvili when she entered the chamber where the sessions were being held. "Salome Zourabichvili is an official who violated the Constitution. Of course, it will be difficult for us to perform the rituals that we performed before. Such as, for example, standing up during her entrance into the Parliament session hall and so on," Kobakhidze said.

"Due to the fact that she remains to be only a President of the United National Movement, such rituals will no longer be performed on our part," the head of the Georgian Dream concluded.
