📍 At the first plenary session of the spring session of the Parliament of Georgia, the head of the political group "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya expressed his condolences to Turkey over the tragedy caused by the strong earthquake.
📍 The deputy thanked the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Georgia to Turkey, Georgi Dzhandjhav for the work done, which, according to Fridon Indzhii, is exemplary, and the ambassador worthy represents tens of thousands of Georgians working in Turkey, supporting them both in grief and joy.
🔸 "Ambassador Georgy Dzandzhava conducts various cultural events and business meetings in Turkey, acts on behalf of Georgia and is a link between our government and the government of Turkey. He supports the Georgian diaspora in Turkey, and his work is truly exemplary," Fridon Indzhiya said.
🔸 After this, the deputy drew a parallel with the activities of the head of the Georgian Interests Section of the Swiss Embassy in the Russian Federation, the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Envoy Georgi Kadzhai and the Consul Sozar Quinchi, who, according to him, are not fulfilling their duties.
🔸 "There are up to a million Georgians living in the Russian Federation, who contribute a great deal to the development of the Georgian economy. Руководство Секции интересов Грузии must have the desire to help our compatriots and support them. But vice versa. It is impossible to call them, and if you call them and arrange a meeting, they can insult you. Я не знаю, для чего они там... Probably, they perform some tasks, but it's not clear what they are," said the deputy.
🔸 "The leadership of the Section of Interests of Georgia should be a bridge between our compatriots living in Russia, who have more than a million relatives living here in Georgia. They should help our diaspora, but this is like a separate kingdom. Nobody controls their activities, they do whatever they want... The government doesn't go there, we don't have diplomatic relations with Russia. In fact, the Georgian diaspora and its leader David Tsetskhladze, who gathered our diaspora all over Russia, held two congresses, organizes concerts, exhibitions and does truly Georgian work, perform the duties of the leadership of the Section of Interests of Georgia today. Today he really performs the duties of consulship and representative office of Georgia in Russia", - stressed Fridon Indzhiya.
🔸 The deputy believes that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia should be interested in the activities of the Section of Interests of Georgia in the Russian Federation.
🔴 The Chairman of "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya and the political active party welcome the statement of the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Garibashvili, that in the case of the unification of Georgia, investments in the amount of 10 billion dollars will be made in Abkhazia and Samachablo in the first three years.
🔴 Presenting the report for the past year 2022, Prime Minister Garibashvili said that in case of reunification of Georgia, Abkhazia can become the second Monaco, and Sukhumi - the second Monte Carlo. Garibashvili emphasized that the central government of Georgia can invest 10 billion dollars in the development of Abkhazia and Samachablo in the first three years after reunification. At the same time, the prime minister noted that the policy regarding the occupied Georgian territories will not be reviewed, and the government of Georgia will try to reunite the country peacefully.
🔴 "We welcome the statement of the Prime Minister on the continuation of the peace policy in relation to the occupied regions, reconciliation and cooperation on the basis of common interests, restoration of trust, improvement of the social and economic situation of the population that suffered as a result of the conflict, and reconciliation of a deliberately divided society," the statement says. "European Socialists".
🔴 "Unfortunately, due to the political climate created by the Georgian radical opposition, the issue of the territorial integrity of the country, which is the foundation of the well-being and stable development of any state, is irrelevant today and is secondary, which is unacceptable and it is necessary to change the political agenda," the statement said.
🔴 "Based on the above, the main task of the government of Georgia should be the settlement of the artificially ignited and forced Georgian-Abkhazian and Georgian-Ossetian conflicts. Должны быть вечерный проходы - it is necessary to switch to the mode of direct negotiations, with the participation of all interested (internal and external) parties", - the statement of the party says.
🔴 “Welcome colleagues. One of the important days is when the chairman of the parliament comes out with a report on what was done last year.
🔴 Parliament is one of the branches of the state authorities, which adopts the law. The main thing is that these laws are adopted based on the interests of the population and the country.
🔴 As an ordinary voter, I expect that a law will be passed in the parliament that will make my life easier.
🔴 As a mother with many children, I am waiting for the parliament to adopt a law that will help mothers with many children and make my life easier. Or I want to have a fourth child, or a fifth child… I’m waiting for a law that will give me some incentive to make a commitment to raise a child for the country.
🔴 As a parent of students, I want my child to study well, and for this, I want the parliament to adopt a law that will give more opportunities to the student to study well. For this, it is important that the state education system is more organized and stricter. Because my children do not get the knowledge that they could receive education in higher education institutions, including abroad. That is why I am forced to hire tutors and teach my children in addition. I am waiting for the adoption of such laws from the parliament that will help me in this matter.
🔴 As a voter, I am waiting for the adoption of such laws that will stabilize or limit the increase in prices. During this period, I received an increased pension and salary, but prices continue to rise and my standard of living remains the same. Now there was an announcement from the Prime Minister about regulation of profit margins from fuel companies, and I expect that the Parliament will pass a law that will oblige and require the government to regulate the prices of both food and petroleum products to a certain extent, which will give the means to set price limits. It will be fuel, electrical energy, or something else.
🔴 As a voter, I am waiting for the adoption of such a law from the parliament, which will allow me to choose the electricity supplier company at my discretion and not be dependent on one particular company, as is the case today with electricity, gas, and water. This is one of the most important issues adopted in Europe. We want to take everything good from Europe and we really do. I want everything good for my country.
🔴 I will return to the issue of a large family. I would like such a family to get one extra room. I am waiting for this and many other issues to be resolved from the Parliament.
🔴 One more issue. I am waiting for the parliament to pass such a law that my son, who went to military service, will get some benefits when he returns from the army. Benefits can be different. It could be study, it could be work. It will be an incentive and I will gladly send my son to the military. I want such a law to be adopted by the Parliament.
🔴 Our citizens are scattered all over the world. I want the parliament to adopt such a law that will make our citizens think and decide to return to Georgia.
🔴 Israel is an exemplary country for me. How the Israeli government gathers its citizens around the world into one fist. What kind of science does it have, what kind of army does it have, what kind of order does it have. The country, which was 3-4 million like ours, now has 7-8 million and is one of the countries to be reckoned with. We should also accept what is good, for example, Israel, China. Europe should not be a dogma. Integration in Europe is because I want my family to be satisfied with all the good things that a Georgian man dreams of.
🔴 Somewhere 200 or 300 laws were adopted. This is very good, but I did not see any law in these laws that would, for example, encourage our citizen in one of the high mountain villages for a better life and change his life, or the person standing in the city or in the market. There are many laws that we pass at the initiative of the government and they are correct. I agree with him because ultimately all laws must be enforced by the government.
🔴 But there are laws that will also encourage our population: defamation, insults, hooliganism on live broadcasts, treason and treasonous acts. Why can’t these laws be adopted? Which will make life easier for you, us and everyone. Power will be given, the state will be more protected.
🔴 The work of the Parliament of Georgia was quite busy during one year. There are many highly qualified members of parliament here; There is an economist, a lawyer, a doctor, an athlete, all the power is really in the parliament, and in one year, they spent more than half of their time on what? … One period on Charles Michel’s constitution, then on the 12-article tasks, and we moved on to the candidate’s status. At this time, we know well to look into the heart of what the candidate status gives? – you are welcome! And I will tell you even more, if the European Union or NATO needs us, they will accept us
📍 The chairman of the political group “European Socialists” of the Parliament of Georgia Fridon Injia called on the parliamentary majority in the country’s highest legislative body to conduct law-making activities only based on the interests of the country and people.
🔴 In his speech, the chairman of the political group reviewed the most relevant political topics of the past year, which was preceded by the report of the Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili, on the activities of the Parliament in 2022.
🔴 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.
🔴 The deputy also drew attention to such fundamental and principled issues for the state, such as the preservation of the country’s history, traditions and customs, on which the state stands and which is the main backbone for preserving the country’s identity.

Somewhere between 200 and 300 laws were adopted. This is very good, but I did not see a single law in these laws that, for example, would encourage a better life for our citizen in one of the highland villages and change his life, or for a person standing in the city or in the market.
There are many laws that we pass at the initiative of the government and they are correct. I agree with him because ultimately all laws must be enforced by the government.
But there are laws that will also encourage our population: defamation, insults, hooliganism on live television, treason and treasonous acts. Why can't these laws be adopted? Which will make life easier for you, us and everyone. Power will be given, the state will be more protected.
The work of the Parliament of Georgia was quite busy during the year. There are many highly qualified members of parliament here; There is an economist, a lawyer, a doctor, an athlete, all the power is really in the parliament, and in one year, they spent more than half of their time on what? ... One period on Charles Michel's constitution, then on the 12-article tasks, and we moved on to the candidate's status. At this time, we know well to look into the heart of what the candidate status gives? - you are welcome! And I will tell you more, if the European Union or NATO needs us, they will accept us, if it is in their interest to accept us. Otherwise, no matter what we do, they will not accept us, and I have no hope of that.
What is in these 12 verses? There is one article, de-oligarchization... which oligarchization is we talking about, if two or three rich people find themselves in Georgia, which rich Georgian will come here to apply this law to himself. Which successful European country has a similar law? ... If a person earns money legally, it is his business and his right.
I have my point of view by contacting the public defender's office. If there will be rule of law, the public defender and his apparatus will not be needed. The country does not need any public defender, just as France, Germany, England, and the United States of America do not need a public defender institution.
The Chairman of the Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, devoted time in his report to the issue of the implementation of the 12 points of the European Union. Nobody needs it today. The country needs economic profit.
It is important that the double-digit profit becomes more and everything is done for it. This should be done with the right policies. You are at stake and may God help you survive this onslaught. Many want us to be hungry and available again. I remember a bad period when there was no bread in Georgia, and the then Vice Prime Minister went to the President of Azerbaijan, that the bread that was supposed to come to them from Poti was allocated to Georgia for two months. There was such a period, but now is a completely different time. Should we go back there again? I think we should not go back there.
Protection of the interests of vulnerable groups is written in Article 12. At this time, it is not written there about the protection of the traditions and customs of our country. Only what is of interest to some people is written in order to destroy the state.
If there is no ideology in the country, which is based on the love of the country, on our history, nothing will come of it. Those who do not have a history will not have a future, believe me. This line, this backbone, saved Georgia. And the empires that existed for centuries are not even their descendants today. Georgia is and will remain. May God make it so.
When Archil Talakvadze was the chairman, I raised this issue in the parliament that it would be good if the parliamentary opposition had a quota regarding the adoption of laws. Of course, you are the majority, you make the laws, but let's give the minority a chance to introduce a law that will actually be adopted. Let's set a quota on this. There is a quota for everything, and let's set a quota for this as well. Conditionally, the quota of the opposition should be 10 laws.
This is better than the fact that you passed a law according to which 90 votes are needed to elect the chairman of the CEC. The same is the issue of electing members of the Council of Justice.
So bring back those laws and do the job. Don't bargain. That's why nothing will happen. As the majority, take responsibility for these issues. The Prime Minister is elected by your majority and the head of the Council of Justice needs 90 votes.
Turn to the people and the interests of the country!"
