Fridon Injia once again called on the country's authorities to be interested in the activities of non-governmental organizations in Georgia and their sources of funding.

Chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia made this statement at the session of the Bureau of the Parliament of Georgia.

"I made a statement about the necessity of adopting a draft law on the activities of non-governmental organizations from the tribune of the Parliament on June 23 of last year, when the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Gharibashvili came to the Supreme Legislative Body with an annual report.
I had an initiative that the parliament should adopt a law regarding non-governmental organizations.

I would like to emphasize that the issues and the list of topics that I focused on in my speech are not reflected in the draft law presented by "People's Power" (the draft law on the transparency of foreign influence) and I hope that it will be taken into account during the second hearing of the draft law.

In my speech, I mainly focused on the following issues:
Non-governmental organizations, whose funding of 88 million came from the United States alone, mainly made political statements and acted as political parties. They had already created structures as political parties. Therefore, on June 23 of last year, I thought that the appropriate law would be acceptable, which would frame the activities of these organizations, and I appealed to both the government and the parliamentary majority.

It should be noted that based on the interests of Georgia, our state finances various organizations, be they state organizations or others. And today, we see non-governmental organizations that are financed by another state, and why? .because the interests of that country include the financing of such non-governmental organizations, which raise the topics or issues of interest to these countries to us.

Now I am wondering how the interests of other countries coincide with the interests of my country? If this is one thing, then our state should finance such organizations, and if a foreign country pays 80-90 % to non-governmental organizations working in Georgia today, I wonder which country it is and what interests it has in relation to Georgia. This is one of the important issues.

Regarding the assessment that the draft law on non-governmental organizations is too soft, if there is such a draft law in the United States of America, which is a model country for the world, then let's adopt exactly the same law. ... cohabitation is still going?... what are we doing? ... If we act in the interests of the state, the interests of the state should be pursued to the end, not halfway. A half-done job will not work.

If certain issues need to be tightened in the law, it should be tightened. For the last 30 years these organizations have been doing whatever they want and they have had complete freedom and power in their activities. Lami, officials were appointed at the level of ministers and public defenders and also many others. That's why it's enough.

If we want to have an independent country where the interests of our country will be protected, the interests of Georgia should be taken into account in absolutely all laws.

For the initiators of the bill, it would be good to review the issues that I had made in the list. It is good that after 8 months they came to the conclusion that such a law is necessary".

The need to create a temporary investigative commission regarding the war of August 2008 is becoming more urgent recently, due to the political events around Georgia - Fridon Injia

The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia answered the questions of the media regarding the creation of the investigative commission.

"As soon as we entered the parliament, during these 2 years we had many conversations about the creation of a temporary investigative commission regarding the 2008 war, both from the parliamentary tribune and through the media.

From the high tribune of the Parliament, I stated several times that this commission is necessary, that there are many questions about what happened, why our state lost 20% of territories. Could this have been avoided? Why did it happen that up to a thousand Georgian fighters left the Kodori valley without a fight? By whose order did this happen? and many more…

Our future, our people, history need to establish the truth. It is needed by the warriors who died in this war. 408 people lost their family and homeland.

Based on the current situation, what is happening in the world, and what pressure our country is experiencing, which is related to the danger of opening a second front, these questions and the issue of creating a commission in general have become more urgent.

I believe and many people have this opinion that the war of August 2008 was a planned betrayal. There were traitors of the country involved in this war, spies who did all this... It was not a war of one or two days, it was well thought out, for which there were preliminary preparations.

Today, those very people, the traitors of Georgia, continue the same rhetoric, which is aimed at getting Georgia involved in the war again. Therefore, this issue has become more relevant today.

The second important topic is the resolution adopted by the European Parliament in relation to Georgia. Which makes the need to create an investigative commission even more urgent.

Unfortunately, the European Parliament, which at one time passed a resolution stating that Georgian soldiers started the war, and today's European Parliament, which also passed a decision against Georgia just a few days ago, are no different from each other.

Why did we aspire to European values? ... to think about what value the European Parliament should have after this decision ... what hope and guarantee the people of Georgia should have that double or triple standards will not be applied to our country.

Therefore, I once again appeal to the majority and all those who are interested in the fate of the country to support the creation of this commission, because I am sure that the result of the work of the commission will be such that it will wake up and will not allow our government, present or future, to That similar mistakes will be allowed, so that Georgia will lose its territories again.

I would like to emphasize once again the need to create an investigative commission to put an end to all the questions surrounding this issue, because one says one thing and the other the other, more precisely, he speaks what suits him.

Of course, the "National Movement" signed the resolution against the country, and of course it will be against the creation of this commission, and the "National Movement" will again and again contribute to the decision made by the European Parliament before yesterday.

Therefore, the need to create this investigative commission is becoming more and more urgent today."

If “Dream” does not support the creation of the parliamentary investigation commission of the 2008 war, i.e. They do not want to expose traitors and spies – Chairman of “European Socialists” Friedon Injia

During the next session week, we will probably communicate with our colleagues from the “dream”, and if they do not support us, then it turns out that they do not want to expose the traitors who were in 2008 and are still operating today. In this case, the “dream” itself should provide answers to the questions still existing in the society regarding the August War.
This was stated by Fridon Injia, the initiator of the August 2008 war prosecutor’s investigation and the creation of the parliamentary investigative commission, the chairman of the political group “European Socialists”.

“What is happening around Ivanishvili is the result of cohabitation. If this cohabitation was not there, and the rule of law was applied, we would not have the current situation. If “Dream” does not support our initiative – to create a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into the 2008 war, then they themselves must give the answers to the public – who were the spies and traitors of the country, who then and today are doing everything to ensure that Georgia does not progress, but continues to suffer. and loss of territories”, said Fridon Injia.

According to him, conducting the mentioned investigation and giving concrete answers to all aspects of the August war is becoming more relevant today.
“I believe that those spies and traitors of the country, who cooked all this, prepared and created what we got, what we got in August 2008, the same people today continue the same rhetoric and still want to involve Georgia in the war,” said the deputy.

Regarding the issue of whether the majority will support this initiative, Fridon Injia states that their position is unknown to him.

“I don’t go to their meetings, I don’t know. As they decide, so they decide. We have been asking for this for almost 2 years now, however, it has become more urgent now. Next session week we will probably communicate with them and see. If they did not support us, i.e. They don’t want to expose the country’s traitors,” the chairman of “European Socialists” emphasized.
