The document published by the European Parliament, which contains an appeal to the authorities of Georgia to release Mikhail Saakashvili from prison, the head of "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya considers as a gross interference in the country's state affairs.
"This is gross interference in the internal affairs of Georgia. Это оскорбление говорства, конституции, законов, разоблачающих произнесников. Practically, we talk about letting go of the culprit. A criminal is a criminal not only according to the Georgian legislation, but also according to their legislation. "The criminal must be punished, regardless of his political vision or status," Fridon Indzhiya said in an interview with the "Alt-Info" TV channel.
According to the document, the European Parliament once again calls on the authorities of Georgia to release the former president, Mikhail Saakashvili, and to grant him the right to undergo appropriate treatment abroad on humanitarian grounds, and to use this as a means of reducing political polarization.
As for the case of Badri Japaridze and Mamuki Khazaradze, the head of Georgian socialists noted that, if they had committed a crime, the relevant authorities should have made a decision much earlier, before Japaridze and Khazaradze got involved in politics.
"For this, the law enforcement officers had 7-8 years and even more. Therefore, here the case is slightly different. "However, this is the business of the Government of Georgia," Fridon Indzhiya added.
"If we become a full-fledged state and take the place in Transcaucasia that we should occupy, and we can implement a grandiose economic project, which involves a transit corridor of energy carriers to Europe from Georgia through the Black Sea, Europe will accept us without any conditions. We must become necessary for Europe. Until we become necessary and acceptable for Europe, we will constantly be subject to conditions».
This was stated by the chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya live on the "Alt-Info" TV channel, in the program "Alternative view".
"The energy project is so important that in the case of its implementation, the president of the European Commission, Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen, will go not only to Azerbaijan, but she should also come to Georgia, because Georgia is between Azerbaijan and Europe. And, if Azerbaijan is important with its energy resources, and finally, it is important, but in the plan of supplying energy, we - Georgia are the main conductor. So, if we wait, they themselves will come for us. Otherwise it will be т.н. "Ping-Pong" game. Unfortunately, the requirements advanced by the European Union are directly related to the sovereignty and independence of Georgia, and this implies interference in internal affairs. We must continue our way. This is the path of independence and sovereignty", — said Fridon Indzhiya.
The chairman of the political group believes that Georgia should definitely receive certain benefits from the European Union. These will be financial opportunities, technologies or something else that should not interfere with the "independence, independence and sovereignty of Georgia".
The head of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya at the meeting of the Committee for the Protection of Rights and Civil Integration asked one of the candidates for People's Defenders, the chairman of the political group "Girchi", and the deputy Iago Hvichiya questions about tightening the drug policy in the country.
«In Georgia there are very many drug addicts. Что будет с нашей молодежью, the number of drug addicts has increased almost to half a million. We already know one side - you will create comfort for addicts. But what can the People's Defender do to protect the rights of ordinary people who have not yet become drug addicts and can be "infected" with this evil?
Почему мы пережаем по количеству narcozavisimых even some Asian countries that grow narcocultures, that same Uzbekistan, Turkey, Azerbaijan and even ahead of Armenia. This catastrophe is up to half a million drug addicts, who, I believe, are no longer full-fledged people, plus 700 thousand pensioners and as many children as are left of the population of Georgia... We need help... If you will be the People's Defender, what will you do in this direction?»
In the highest legislative body of Georgia, the chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya, the vice-speaker of the Parliament Avtandil Enukidze and members of the political group met with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of China to Georgia Zhou Jiang.
The head of "European Socialists" congratulated the Chinese ambassador on holding the 20th Congress of the "Communist Party" and thanked him for his visit to the Parliament.
"Our party completely separates the concept and politics of the country's government, which is implemented by the "Communist Party" of China. The management experience accumulated by the political leadership of the People's Republic of China during these years is truly exemplary," Fridon Indzhiya noted at the meeting.
The chairman of the political group drew attention to the geopolitical role of Georgia, which, according to him, today provides great opportunities for the implementation of various important economic projects in Transcaucasia. In particular, the transit of energy sources, the production of an alternative source of energy - solar energy, air traffic or transit transportation, the development of sea ports and the increase in cargo turnover, as well as the exchange of experience in agriculture, which is part of the "Silk Road" project.
The head of "European Socialists" proposed to the ambassador to introduce the Chinese model in any region or district of Georgia and to modernize it from the point of view of the implementation of economic and social projects.
"For the deepening of relations between our parties, it is also important to prepare a Memorandum of Cooperation, which will contribute to the further deepening and strengthening of relations between the parties, as well as between Georgia and China.
According to the vice-speaker of the Parliament, Avtandil Enukidze, he supports the political course of China and considers it important to strengthen and deepen relations, both at the state level and between the parties.
«The attitude of our party is very positive in terms of deepening cooperation with you, and finally we support the sovereignty of China and its development. I cooperate with the representatives of the Chinese diaspora and thank you for this meeting", Avtandil Enukidze noted.
For his part, the ambassador emphasized the importance of this meeting and thanked the chairman of the political group "European Socialists" for organizing the meeting.
"Recently, the 20th Congress ended in China, at which the results achieved in the country in recent years were summarized, and plans and tasks for the future were set. I want to note that a special report was published at the congress, in which the leadership of the "Communist Party" of China thanked the parties of different countries for their cooperation, including your party - "European Socialists", - noted the ambassador.
"You know how important it is to develop relations between Georgia and China at the diplomatic and legislative levels. It is also very important to deepen trade relations between our countries. In this regard, Georgia is one of China's strategic partners. China always supports the independence and sovereignty of Georgia. Georgia occupies a very important geopolitical place, and in this regard, the implementation of strategic projects is extremely important. It is also important to implement infrastructural projects in the field of logistics, which will significantly improve logistics in your country," the ambassador said.
At the end of the meeting, a desire for close cooperation was expressed, and a concrete plan for further work was determined.
"The project of the law "On deoligarhization" presented by the ruling party contradicts the Constitution of Georgia. If the law is adopted in this version, our party will file a lawsuit in the Constitutional Court on the first day. No one has repealed the Constitution yet, and if there is a rule of law in the country, then the court will accept the appropriate decision».
This statement was made by the chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya at the plenary session of the Parliament, where the ruling majority in the first reading presented the draft law "On deoligarhization".
The chairman of the political group turned to the "Georgian dream" and called on the ruling force to act worthy of the call and only based on the interests of the country.
"They are fighting with Bidzina Ivanishvili by all methods, a person who invested billions in our country in different ways, both under one government and the previous one. At the same time, everyone is silent about the group of people who took out billions from Georgia, and there is no mention of any instructions in the resolution of the European Commission. Can you imagine if there were 100 Bidzin Ivanishvilis in Georgia, and they did the same for our country, what would our country be like today?" - noted Indzhiya.
"Don't play with us, we're not in kindergarten. We know what is happening, and why it is done," said the deputy, addressing the members of the majority.
Speaking about the status of a candidate in the EU, Fridon Indzhiya believes that Georgia has already received the status of a candidate, as it submitted an official application for it.
