The Georgian parliament met in Kutaisi, in the new parliament building, for the first time on October 21 despite fears the building was not complete. While construction on the outside of the new parliament continues, the interior is largely completed - a triumph President Mikheil Saakashvili called evidence that his government is capable of "miracles." The 133 million lari project has been ridiculed by the Georgian Dream, which plans on moving the legislative branch back to Tbilisi as soon as it can harness the 100 votes necessary to overturn the constitutional amendment that relocated it to Kutaisi.
