At the invitation of the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Chinese People's Republic to Georgia, the chairman of the parliamentary political party "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya and the members of the Political Council took part in a seminar at which the topics of the 20th Congress of the ruling Communist Party of China were discussed.
In particular, the programs for the further development of China include: "Formation of the higher system of the socialist market economy", "Formation of the modern production system", "Program of all-round stimulation of the village" and many other directions.
"Years will pass, and generations will positively evaluate the fact that during your tenure as the country's prime minister in this tense situation, Georgia did not engage in war. Thank you for saving the country today, not entering the war.
This was stated by the member of "European Socialists", the vice-speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, Avtandil Enukidze, during the interpellation hearings in the highest legislative body of Prime Minister Iraklia Garibashvili.
«It is absolutely correct that the sanctions were not introduced. First, that's what our country needed, and secondly, if you draw a parallel with what they say, the alleged liberation of criminals will contribute to depolarization, then the introduction of these sanctions would not contribute to the situation we have. In particular, 30 kilometers away is the Russian army, which can turn against us..."
"They blame you for visiting Asian countries... It's good that your visits are carried out in Asian countries, because we had authority in these countries, which was lost, and this authority is already being restored. If you are looking for investments to attract to the country, whether it is from Asia, Africa or any other country, let no one limit us in this. I see one thing behind it - they don't want the development of our country".
"Some people don't like attacks on ambassadors... I don't think these are attacks." If the ambassador says something that is not acceptable for my country and it is necessary to respond, it is necessary to do it. If we deal with a misunderstanding, it will also be clarified", Avtandil Enukidze said.
During the meeting of the members of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" with the delegation of the OSCE-ODIHR and the Venice Commission, MPs Fridon Indzhiya and David Zilpimiani emphasized the importance of switching to an electronic electoral system and eliminating the illegal use of administrative resources during the elections.
As noted by the head of "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya, the most important change provided by the draft law is the introduction of the electronic voting process and counting of results. At the same time, the tightening of the law regarding the use of administrative resources is also important.
«I believe that doubling the fines for the use of administrative resources in the pre-election period will not be effective. More strict measures are needed. Those who attempt to commit an illegal act no longer have the right to work in the public service and must serve a sentence in prison. In case of doubling the fine, this fine will be paid by the customer, not the executor", noted Fridon Inzhiya.
According to him, it is necessary to change the procedure for electing the chairman of the Central Committee, which is currently being elected for a period of 6 months due to the fact that the parliamentary majority cannot gain the necessary 90 votes.
"This is abnormal - we elect the government with 76 votes, and the chairman of the Central Committee with 90 votes. This is a step back for the ruling party and the result of its inconsequential actions," the head of the socialists said.
Deputy David Zilpimiani emphasized at the meeting that electronic elections solve all problems related to elections, if they include not only the process of electronic voting, but also electronic identification of the voter, the so-called video image.
"The main emphasis is on the 5-percent electoral barrier, which remains unchanged to this day. I advocate lowering the barrier to approximately 2.51 TP2T, which will be a good chance for small parties, and for subjects who have crossed the threshold, it will become an opportunity to form their own group or faction," said David Zilpimani.
When Georgia takes a worthy place that belongs to it in Transcaucasia, and if an epoch-making mega-project will be implemented, which will ensure the transit of energy sources to Europe via the Black Sea, then maybe the European Union will make a political decision about Georgia's accession to the EU.
This was stated by the chairman of the political group "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya at the plenary session of the Parliament, where the deputies listened to the Prime Minister of the country Iraklia Garibashvili in the order of interpellation.
As the deputy noted, the refusal to grant Georgia the EU candidate status was a political decision, and a similar political decision is necessary for the country's entry into the EU.
"What is happening here today is all secondary and not necessary for the state." This is done for the purpose of assigning responsibility to you personally and to the government... Based on the interests of Georgia, finally we want to join the European Union. This will be the same political decision as was adopted in the Baltic countries. What we have today, and what you have achieved in these years, including economic progress, is an indicator of everything. Continue in the same spirit, and a political decision will be made to accept Georgia into the EU. When Georgia takes the place in Transcaucasia that belongs to it, and if the epoch-making megaproject initiated by you, which provides for the transit of energy carriers on the Black Sea, will be implemented, it will be a big victory, and then the European commissioners will first come to Georgia, and then to Azerbaijan," he said. Fridon Indzhiya.
For whom large infrastructure projects are implemented, while the villages of Georgia are empty, and about 1 million citizens of Georgia, including students and the working population, have gone abroad.
This was announced by the chairman of the political group "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya at the plenary session of the Parliament and presented an initiative to provide assistance in the amount of GEL 500 to families living in rural areas who will have a child in 2023.
"In all the media, as well as in the Parliament, today they are talking, as it seems to me, about secondary issues: about the imposed status of the candidate and requirements from 12 points; Кто будет Народным зажистником и как образиться о напидатуре Народного зажистником, and if we can't agree, this will already be the next topic for conversation; Who will be the chairman of the National Movement; We are talking about the war and the conflict that is unfolding in Europe and in the whole world; We are talking about deoligarhization and we want to expel one benefactor from the country in some way, instead of attracting more wealthy people. At the same time, what is Georgia today? With a population of about 3,700,000 to 1 million citizens, including students and job seekers, they are forced to leave their country, and no one knows if they will return. According to 2021, the death rate exceeds the birth rate by 15,000 — 60,000 people died," noted Fridon Indzhiya.
According to him, in the villages of Georgia, there are almost no youth, working population, and large infrastructure projects are being implemented here.
"We build infrastructure, roads, gas, electricity, water... for whom do we do this, if we don't have the population?" I believe that the main task today is to keep the population in the villages, to increase the birth rate, and also to bring back our citizens. Otherwise, tomorrow this country will be in a very difficult position", said the deputy.
At the same time, he noted that a family in the countryside needs about 500 GEL to raise one child.
"Let's increase the birth rate in 2023, let's provide financial assistance in the amount of GEL 500 to families who will have a child in 2023," said Fridon Indzhiya.
