On October 6, Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili commented on the Constitutional Court's impeachment hearing. She said the arguments presented against her were purely political.

"They [Georgian Dream] don't care whether the Constitution is violated or not. Their concerns are purely political; they are angry at the president and resentful. No actual legal arguments rooted in facts were put forward," Zourabichvili added.

"I hope the Constitutional Court will not allow the president to lose competence in foreign relations and [become] hostage to the government’s permission. Even if the violation of the Constitution is established [by the Court], it will not be considered justified or trustworthy in the society," Zourabichvili noted.

Zourabichvili stressed that the president's passivity in advocating for the EU candidacy would be much more harmful to the country's foreign policy course. According to Zourabichvili, the president is obliged to act as the country's representative and to do everything to obtain the status of the EU candidate country. "The president should not be judged for fulfilling her function," Zourabichvili concluded.
