🔴 Fridon Injia emphasized the “artificially invented and developed” 12-point demand of the European Union, which practically became the main issue of the 2022 political agenda. The chairman of the political group believes that working on these issues is a waste of time, and it is better for the country’s highest legislative body to adopt such important laws that will improve the economic and social situation in the country, which will create the basis and guarantee for citizens to have stable and normal living conditions.

📍 “European socialists” will not support the draft law “on deoligarchization” – Fridon Injia 👉 The parliamentary political group “European Socialists” will not support the draft law “On Deoligarchization”. 🔴 Chairman of “European Socialists” Fridon Injia stated about this today during a remote meeting of members of the delegation of the Venice Commission with parliamentary political groups. 🔴 According to him, the main reason for this is that the draft law does not comply with the Constitution of Georgia, it is not sophisticated and, in addition, no civilized country has adopted a similar law. 🔴 “We will not vote for this bill in this form. It does not correspond to the supreme law of Georgia – the Constitution. This is the first factor. Second, the right to fair consideration of the case and also the right to appeal the decision is a fundamental human right recognized by international law, which will be violated if the mentioned law is enacted,” said Fridon Injia. 🔴 According to him, the draft law is completely taken from the legislation of Ukraine, where there is a completely different reality, and in Georgia – another. 🔴 The MP emphasized that the crime of voter bribery in Georgia is already punished by criminal legislation. 🔴 “I want to draw attention to one interesting detail. In particular, if an oligarch meets the imaginary criteria and is included in the register of oligarchs, even in case of bankruptcy, it is impossible to remove this person from the register. This is not provided for in the law. While in the case of a convicted person, it is even possible to remove the conviction, but it is not possible to remove the bankrupt oligarch from the register,” Fridon Injia said.
🔴 The chairman of the parliamentary political group “European Socialists” Fridon Injia addressed questions to the chairman of the human rights protection committee Mikheil Sarjveladze at the plenary session of the Parliament of Georgia.
🔹 Chairman of the Human Rights Protection Committee, Mikheil Sarjveladze, presented the committee’s work report to the Supreme Legislative Body.
🔹 “Mr. Mikheil, your committee has a heavy load, especially artificially in this tense period, and in many cases your convincing statements strengthen the truth that our country needs and this is important, for which I want to thank you.
🔹 Under the auspices of the protection of human rights, does it happen, secretly, on the identity of the country, on its identity, or on the neutralization, bleaching, equalization of the Georgian identity, on the part of different countries, because the field of protection of human rights also includes ideology. Therefore, I believe that the work of your committee is of great importance. How do you personally think you can deal with the great efforts with which, under the auspices of human rights, they want to undermine and damage our identity, individualism and worldview?
🔹 To what extent are the rights of Georgian emigration protected in the Russian Federation, where there are up to one million Georgians? What is being done in this regard? Do you have contact with them? And what do you think should be done so that those people do not leave Georgia? Protecting their rights is in the interests of Georgia.”

I would like to highlight the work of our ambassador and diplomatic corps in Turkey and personally thank Giorgi Janjghava on behalf of my party, who is standing by tens of thousands of Georgians in Chira or Lkhini.

He stands by the side of the Georgian diaspora in Turkey, and his work is truly exemplary.” – said Fridon Injia.
🔴 The chairman of the political group drew a parallel with the activities of Giorgi Kajaia, the head of the Georgian interests section of the Embassy of the Swiss Confederation in the Russian Federation, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Giorgi Kajaia and Consul Sozar Quinchia, who, according to the MP, cannot fulfill their duties, moreover, it is unclear what they are for and whose tasks they are performing. They and to what extent they stand by the diaspora of millions, who make a great contribution to the economic progress of Georgia.
🔴 “I want to draw a parallel with the Russian Federation, where up to one million Georgians live, who make a great contribution to the development of Georgia’s economy. The leadership of the Georgian Interests Section should be eager to help our compatriots and stand by them. At this time, the opposite is happening. It is impossible to call them, and if you call and make an appointment, they may insult you. I don’t know what they are there for. Probably, they are performing some tasks and it is not clear whose tasks”.
🔴 “The leadership of the Georgian Interests Section should be a bridge between our compatriots living in Russia and Georgia. With the one million people who have more than one million relatives in Georgia. They should also help the Georgian diaspora in the Russian Federation.”
🔴 According to the chairman of the political group, today, in fact, the Georgian diaspora in the Russian Federation and its leader Davit Tsetskhladze perform the duty of leading the section of Georgian interests.
🔴 “The Georgian diaspora and its leader Davit Tsetskhladze, who gathered the diaspora in the entire Russian Federation, are fulfilling their duty today. held two conferences.

🔴 The MP believes that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia should be interested in the activities of the Georgian Interests Section in the Russian Federation.
🔴 “I think it will be clear what they are doing. They are like a separate kingdom. Katsishvili does not control their activities. The government does not go there. We do not have diplomatic relations with Russia. They do whatever they want. Therefore, I think that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which actively works and stands by its compatriots, if you want to take Turkey as an example, should also be interested in this issue. What has become of this, the two Kajaya and Quinchia, they have cut off our heads around the world,” Fridon Injia added.
📍 Statement of the party “European Socialists”. 🔴 Chairman of the “European Socialists” party Fridon Injia and the political team of the party welcome the statement of the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Gharibashvili, which, in the event of the unification of Georgia, will concern the implementation of 10 billion investment in Abkhazia and Samachablo in the first three years. 🔴 The Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Gharibashvili, while presenting the 2022 report, said that in case of reunification of Georgia, Abkhazia can become the second Monaco and Sukhumi – the second Monte Carlo, and it is possible for the central government of Georgia to invest 10 billion in Abkhazia and Samachablo in the first three years. The Prime Minister also noted that the government’s policy regarding the occupied territories will not be revised and the government will try to reunify the country in a peaceful way. 🔴 “The statement of the Prime Minister regarding the continuation of the peaceful policy in relation to the occupied regions, reconciliation and cooperation based on common interests, restoration of trust, improvement of the socio-economic condition of the population affected by the conflict and reconciliation of the consciously divided society,” the party’s statement said. 🔴 “Unfortunately, due to the political climate created by the radical opposition, the issue of territorial integrity, which is the foundation of the strength, well-being, and stable development of any state, is irrelevant and secondary today, which is unacceptable and it is necessary to change the political agenda,” the statement said. 🔴 “Therefore, the main task of the country’s government should be to settle the artificially created and self-absorbed Georgian-Abkhazian and Georgian-Ossetian conflicts. New approaches must be defined – it is necessary to switch to the mode of direct negotiations, with the participation of all interested (internal and external) parties,” the party’s statement reads.
