The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement ahead of the upcoming vote on President Salome Zurabishvili’s impeachment on October 18. The statement reads that France has taken note of the decision of the Constitutional Court of Georgia to validate the impeachment procedure initiated by the parliamentary majority, with the support of the government, against the President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili.
The statement further states: “At a crucial moment for the future of the country, where unity and cohesion around European values must prevail, France expects the Georgian government to demonstrate responsibility and focus its efforts on the implementation of the set of reforms necessary to consolidate democracy and the rule of law, in particular in connection with the 12 priorities set out by the Commission in its Opinion of June 2022 on Georgia’s application for membership of the European Union.”
Salome Zurabishvili was born in Paris, France into a family of Georgian political refugees. She served as a French diplomat before accepting in 2004 the Georgian nationality and becoming a Foreign Minister of Georgia, and later starting political career in Georgia.
On October 16, the Constitutional Court of Georgia ruled that President Salome Zurabishvili has violated the Constitution. The Court determined that the President breached the country’s Constitution by making working visits to Europe without the Government’s approval.
The vote on the President’s impeachment will be held in the Parliament on October 18.

According to the French newspaper Le Monde, the father of Mohammed Mogouchkov, who attacked and killed a teacher in Arras (France) on October 13, lives in Georgia “where he has not yet been questioned”.
The Le Monde article examines the family and entourage of the terrorist, who is originally from Ingushetia in the North Caucasus, Russia. According to the article, Mohammed Mogouchkov was one of the most radicalized members of the family, as evidenced by his treatment of his mother and two sisters, and by evidence recovered by French law enforcement, including audio and video recordings in which he pledges allegiance to Islamic State and expresses hatred of France and democratic values.
He was reportedly strongly imbued with jihadist ideology and influenced by his father, who was expelled from France in 2018 and now lives in Georgia, writes Le Monde.
