"The draft law on deoligarchization is unconstitutional."

Chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia stated about this in the "Alternative Vision" program of "Alt-Info" TV.

"We will be against this draft law until the end, because it contradicts the Constitution of Georgia. the so-called Entering a person into the register, declaring him an oligarch without having the right to appeal, is against Article 31 of the Constitution of Georgia. A citizen should have the right to appeal any decision. If the parliament adopts the draft law "on deoligization" in this form, we will file a constitutional lawsuit in the Constitutional Court", said Fridon Injia.

According to the deputy, the ruling party very skillfully used the law of Ukraine and transferred it to Georgia one by one.

"If the law is acceptable in Ukraine, logically, it should be acceptable here as well." If the concept of an oligarch fits into the parameters of the reality in Ukraine, then it should also fit here, and in such a case, many people, including those from the opposition, can be included in this list. Therefore, the ruling party is trying to kill two birds with one stone. "At the same time, the conclusion of the OSCE/ODIHR regarding the said draft law, which the ruling party is waiting for," said the deputy.

The chairman of the political group believes that the government should pay more attention and continue working in the direction of economic development and strengthening of the country, as well as in terms of peace policy, the results of which we are witnessing today.

"It is the country's interests and state thinking that are more important than the implementation of the 12-point plan, for which the current government is striving. It is important to implement a rigid policy, in which, unfortunately, our government will falter," Fridon Injia added.

The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia evaluates the last document published by the European Parliament, which calls on the Georgian authorities to release Mikheil Saakashvili from prison, as a gross interference in state affairs.

"This is clearly interference in Georgia's internal affairs. This is an insult to the state, the constitution, the laws that expose the criminal. In practice, they are telling us to release the guilty. A criminal is a criminal, not only according to Georgian legislation, but also according to their legislation. The criminal must be punished, regardless of his political view or status", the deputy said in the "Alternative View" program of the "Alt-Info" TV company.

According to the document, the European Parliament once again calls on the Georgian authorities to release former President Mikheil Saakashvili and allow him to undergo appropriate treatment abroad for humanitarian purposes and use this as a means of reducing political polarization.

Regarding the case of Badri Japaridze and Mamuka Khazaradze, the chairman of the political group noted that if they had any crime, the relevant agencies should have made a decision regarding them a little earlier, before Japaridze and Khazaradze got involved in politics.

"It took 7-8 years and more for this. Therefore, it is a little different here. Nevertheless, this is also the business of the Georgian government", the MP added.

The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia believes that, based on the important political events taking place in the world, there are many things to be well analyzed and thought about, as the world's new political and economic centers are intersecting.

While visiting the "Alternative Vision" program of the "Alt Info" TV company, the journalist asked the question, "Didn't Georgia, through various authorities, bow down to the European Union or In front of the countries of the world", Friedon Injia noted that, of course, such facts took place during the previous government, and in some cases, it was a crime.

"Every government has its own interests and tasks. The previous government had its own interest and task. The current government has found other interests and goals that are closer to the people's interests, and I welcome this direction. However, I would say that in many cases this is not the case... perhaps the time is not yet right. Let's wait for another election, what will be the situation in the world. For example, the same Chinese factor where the congress was held and they are now in the process of preparing to show their plans. Therefore, the following steps will probably appear. This will also be important. Also, it will be seen how and with what the polarization, the confrontation between the parties, which is in the United States of America, will end."

"Also, the situation in the EU itself is important. In particular, the visit of the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany (Martin Schulz - Chancellor of Germany) to China is noteworthy. Practically, the first people from European countries came there less often. It should be noted that the German Chancellor arrived in China and was accompanied by the owners of such industrial concerns, which represent the driving force of the EU economy. This is something to think about, to analyze well, and everyone should draw an appropriate conclusion." - said Fridon Injia.
