The party "European Socialists" appeals to the government with the request of subsidizing utility bills

The political party "European Socialists" releases a statement

The party "European Socialists" appeals to the authorities to subsidize municipal taxes for another month.

"The government should compensate the population for 200 cubic meters of natural gas for the period of February-March. According to the current forecast, the weather is expected to worsen in February and March, which will increase the demand for natural gas among the population. Practically, in the period of October-November of the previous year, the majority of the population could not benefit from the natural gas subsidy. Therefore, we call on the government to develop a natural gas subsidy program that the population will benefit from," the statement said.

"European Socialists" believe that state subsidies should also cover not only natural gas, but also electricity and water bills.

"We think that the state has the appropriate resources to subsidize natural gas, as well as impose compensation on electricity and water bills. This will be one of the important assistances that the government of Georgia will provide to its own population in the worst social situation caused by the pandemic," the statement said.

"The European Socialists also call on the government to remove or ease some of the existing regulations and to restore municipal and long-distance transport.
