Fridon Injia believes that in the last 30 years the country has accumulated a lot of issues that need to be resolved

🔹 "We can not teach the Prime Minister what should be the main issues of direct dialogue," - said the chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia at a press conference, where he addressed the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Gharibashvili on behalf of the "European Socialists" On the need for direct dialogue with the Russian Federation.
ონ Fridon Injia believes that in the last 30 years, many issues have accumulated in the country that need to be resolved.
. "The Prime Minister himself knows what issues will be important during the negotiations. We can not teach this to the Prime Minister. There have been so many issues over the course of 30 years that probably will not happen in a single day. "We are always trying to solve problems through a mediator, but for 30 years, nothing has been done through a mediator," said Fridon Injia.

Address of the "European Socialists" to the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Gharibashvili.
🔹 Welcome everyone, good health and victory over Kovid!
. It is good that there has been no war in Georgia in the last 10 years, however, it must be said that the government and with it our international partners can not take effective steps to restore the country's territorial integrity.
მსოფლიოში Recent developments in the world, including in our region, have developed at such a rapid pace that we are facing completely different realities and challenges than we were a few years ago. For example, regarding Ukraine, at the time of the adoption of the resolution, it was January 26, our party made a statement. We called on our friendly Ukrainians that the way to avoid war would be the unconditional fulfillment of the obligations under the Minsk Agreement.
ეს This statement of our party was considered by many, including in the Parliament, inactive and lacking in need, but less than a week passed and it became clear that no leading European state was involved in this issue, which did not call on the Ukrainian authorities to implement the Minsk agreement. Finally, on this issue - on February 8, in Berlin, the leaders of Germany, France and Poland at a joint meeting stressed the need for the Ukrainian authorities to implement the Minsk agreement.
🔹 Despite the short period of its existence, our political party offers only constructive proposals to the society and the government and concrete ways of fulfilling these proposals, and is not busy with populist, cheap statements. That is why, today, in the interests of Georgia and the existing new political realities, I will introduce you to the special statement of the political party "European Socialists" and the appeal to the government.
🔹 Today, the most important political processes are taking place in the world, including in our region and in Georgia. The current events in the world, which are related to the guarantees of global security, directly affect the fundamental interests of our country and its security.
Due to the new reality of the global security system, which is changing every minute, Georgia is given a unique chance to protect the vital interests of its country, given the challenges and problems that the country has been facing for the last 30 years. We mean that the government, without a mediator, acts in the format of a direct dialogue, for which there is no alternative today.
No one can protect the interests of our country better than us. As all countries that defend the interests of their country do. In particular, America, France, Germany, Hungary, Argentina, Sweden, Finland, China and others.
. It is known that the current Georgian government is not to blame for creating the difficult political situation that has plagued Georgia in the 21st century. We also believe that the current government is able to protect the interests of the country at all levels and in all formats, despite the severe pressures we face today, and we see every day how the sovereign interests of our country are being violated.
Given these unique opportunities that Georgia may not be given in the future, and not using this chance for our country would be an irreparable mistake, tantamount to betrayal. History shows that such mistakes and betrayals, especially recently, have been quite numerous in our country and have cost us dearly.
The political party "European Socialists" appeals to the Prime Minister of Georgia, Mr. Irakli Gharibashvili, to personally start a direct dialogue with the Russian Federation at the negotiating table, as is done by the leaders of the world and a number of European countries. We call the same for the President of Ukraine.
🔹 We think that the government and the Prime Minister, through their diplomatic actions, which they have shown during the Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict, and through the usual principle, through direct dialogue, will be able to find optimal solutions to these difficult and important issues for the benefit of our people. Jam will unite and stand by the Prime Minister in fulfilling the most difficult mission.
. We hope that the diplomatic corps and international organizations accredited in Georgia will assist the government and the Prime Minister in carrying out this vital mission for the country.
We are sure that the population of Georgia welcomes this!

The chairman of the European Socialists, Fridon Injia, met with Sven Mixer, an MEP

დ The Chairman of the Parliamentary Political Group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia focused on the current socio-economic issues in the country during a meeting with a Member of the European Parliament, Rapporteur on Georgia's Sven Mixer, who is paying an official visit to Georgia.
შეხვედრა The meeting of the chairmen and members of the parliamentary opposition factions and political groups in the supreme legislative body of the country was held with the European Parliament, the rapporteur on Georgia, Sven Mikser.
. "Our goal is to improve the socio-economic situation of the country. "We look at this pragmatically and we believe that the country should do everything to achieve the goal," Fridon Injia said at the meeting.
According to the chairman of the political group, due to the geographical location of Georgia, the country's foreign policy should be multi-vector.
🔹 “Given our geographical location, the country's foreign policy should be multi-vector. Of course, the priorities should be European values, such as the rule of law, technology, the European market, "- said Fridon Injia.
. The chairperson of the political group highlighted the main problems in the country at the meeting.

"Our problems are: the rule of law; Parliamentary oversight - inefficiency; Ineffective social programs; Monopolization of the banking sector; Pharmaceutical field; "Energy" - said Fridon Injia.
🔹 “There are many problems. The Georgian political class has an inability to exercise the rule of law. Insult is a weakness of a politician… Society is polarized and what to do about this polarization? "I wonder if there is a punishment for defamation in Estonia?" Fridon Injia said at the meeting.
🔹 The chairman of the political group addressed Sven Mixer at the meeting with a question about the events in Ukraine, when the current tensions will end, to which the MEP stated that he does not know about it.

თავმჯდომ The Chairman of the Political Group focused on the resolution adopted by the Parliament of Georgia in support of Ukraine.
. "I think that the adoption of the resolution was hasty, especially when they are silent. Estonia did not adopt the resolution. "Ukraine did not adopt the resolution in 2008 either, when we faced the fact and lost our territories," Fridon Injia said at the meeting.

Fridon Injia believes that it is too early to adopt a resolution on the events in Ukraine

დFridon Injia believes that it is too early to adopt a resolution on the events in Ukraine.

რი The Chairman of the Parliamentary Political Group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia, while discussing the draft resolution on Ukraine at the first plenary session of the spring session of the Supreme Legislature, once again called on MPs not to rush to adopt a document that could be detrimental to Georgia.

. "We believe that this resolution is premature. I urge you again to wait and see how things turn out. Let us not run in front of the steam locomotive, so as not to harm our country. I care about my country, that there is no war here, and we are not in those cartels. Negotiations begin this week in which we will not take part, and no one will take us. Unfortunately, neither Ukraine will participate. "If there is a possibility, we would say our word, and maybe someone would do something for our good," said Fridon Injia.

🔷 He said that it is very important that everyone sitting in the Parliament Hall supports the unity and territorial integrity of Ukraine, however, in some statements about the unacceptability of the war in Ukraine, he doubts it.

. "Of course, we must support Ukraine, but we must put the interests of our country much higher. One country that has been supported by the resolution, and we do not yet know what is in the text, is Poland, other countries are still refraining, why? Because it does not depend on them, especially on us, two states are crucial - the US and the Russian Federation. Even the Republic of China refrained from making statements and stepped aside. The issue of Ukraine will be discussed at the UN only in 18 days, almost after the end of the Olympics. "All this matters," the MP said.

🔷 He said why should some people involve Georgia in this big fight when the US has expressed readiness for negotiations, which was preceded by a closed letter addressed to Russia.

👉 „If the discussion is e.g. Some compromises have to be made on both sides. What could be the US compromise? It remains to be seen whether Ukraine will be the first or we? The case is very serious, important things can be resolved in these 1-2 months. How they will end the negotiations, and what the outcome will be, trust me, we will not ask anyone about that. Therefore, we will not open our eyes in advance and we will not start shouting at Vasha-Vasha, ”said Fridon Injia.

David Zilfimian refuses to participate in the discussion of the draft resolution on Ukraine

ზ Davit Zilfimiani, Member of the European Socialists, Deputy Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs, refuses to participate in the discussion of the resolution in support of Ukraine. He said this at a committee meeting today.
. “I was not going to say that, but there seems to be no other way out. When the time came, the Foreign Affairs Committee impromptu drafted the text of the resolution and I thought this text had been sent for a long time, but I heard that it turns out that this is not the case. There are many people here who come from personnel diplomacy and I am happy with professional diplomats. When a statement or resolution is made, the country takes it based on how this or that country or political organization should understand and everyone should understand what they themselves wanted to write, no one in the world discusses the meaning of each word. Diplomacy is exactly that, we had to judge, we all sat in a closed format because it was controversial and we got a text that both our enemy and our lover understood as we wanted to say it. After we have mastered all this and talked so much nonsense, it is no longer necessary at all. I am personally ashamed, the same is ashamed in the eyes of our partners, the enemies will be happy. That is why I believe that resolutions should not be continued in such a way and I refuse to participate in the discussion. No one is against me in the love of the country, because such an argument is not the love of the country. "I am not a diplomat, but diplomacy is for everyone to understand as you want and not to stand and correct things live for two weeks," the MP said.
