"High-tech enterprises created by young scientists should be exempted from taxes for 3 years" - Fridon Injia's new initiative

In order to secure young Georgian scientists and intellectual capital in Georgia, the chairman of "European Socialists" Fridon Injia came out with a new initiative at the plenary session of the Parliament.

"The state should develop enterprises based on modern technologies created by young scientists within 3 years exempt from taxes. This will ensure that educated young people will not go abroad and create enterprises here, there will be no outflow of intellectual capital from Georgia." - said Fridon Injia.

According to him, the high technologies created by young people and the enterprises formed by their use can be introduced in many areas, both in the directions of widespread use of solar batteries, as well as in agriculture and industry.

"This will stop the outflow of young people. If the projects created by them are supported and approved by the Ministry of Economy, it will help attract foreign investments to Georgia." - said the chairman of "European Socialists" Fridon Injia.

"When the ownership and management of strategic objects is in the hands of the state, investments will come to Georgia more boldly" - Fridon Eng.

The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia welcomes the decision made by the Georgian government regarding the port of Anaklia, the construction of which will be done with the participation of the state, where the state will be the owner of the control package 51%.

"Our political group does not is in the majority, but how can you not be happy with the decision that the government takes. This refers to the port of Anaklia, the hydroelectric power station. From this tribune, we have been asked many times the question that all objects of strategic importance, which are in Georgia, and there are not many left, should be under the control of the state. If not completely, the 51st % should still be under the government of the state," said Fridon Injia at the plenary session of the Parliament of Georgia.

"Let's recall the vicissitudes that happened in Georgia in connection with Namakhvan HPP. If the Georgian government was the owner of the control package of 51 % of Namakhvan HPP, then all this would not have happened there," said Fridon Injia.

According to the MP, several statements were made from the parliamentary tribune regarding the current situation in the banking sector, where the colossal profits of commercial banks were discussed.

"We have talked about commercial banks many times from this tribune. According to the latest information, they have a profit of up to 2 billion. Now imagine if the state's share in the banking sector was even 50%, how much profit would be included in the state budget. One billion profit would remain for the state?!" - said Fridon Injia.

At the plenary session of the parliament, the chairman of the political group once again voiced the initiative of the "European Socialists" to create one state investment, commercial bank in the country, which will increase the income and profit in the state budget, and will also be a certain benefit for the population in terms of the use of credit resources.

"Let's review the approach of the government of the People's Republic of China to strategic objects, where the main state-owned infrastructure facilities are in the hands of the state or under their control. Therefore, everything is clearly visible at what pace the People's Republic of China is moving forward." - noted Fridon Injia.

In his speech, the deputy drew attention to the decision made by the government, according to which it became possible for the state to import medicines from the neighboring country at an affordable price.

"Despite this positive decision, we still emphasize that at least one pharmaceutical enterprise should be established in the state, which will produce necessary and primary purpose medicines. And this will give a benefit to that segment of the population, which is in dire need of vital medicines at low prices," said Fridon Injia.

The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia, in the "Alternative View" program of the "Alt Info" TV company, asked the question of the journalist, how real is the threat based on the statement made by the "People's Power" political party, which referred to possible provocations by specific members of the radical opposition in Abkhazia and Tskhinvali, He noted that this might be one of the constituent parts of the plan of the radical opposition, which aims to destabilize the state.

According to Fridon Injia, the deputation of the political party "People's Power" is quite informed and they "would not make this statement in the air."

"This may be one part of the plan, which representatives of the radical opposition may start implementing after Saakashvili's court session, which is scheduled for December 14. This may be part of a plan to change the state government. For example, part of this plan may be the issue of Saakashvili, the same provocative actions at the borders, it may be a terrorist act in some corner. What they said is remarkable, it was not a flurry of words. We are not in any way interested in any war, any case decided by war."

"We have to do everything, be it public diplomacy or the activity of state structures. I believe that the Ministry of Reconciliation should find contacts, come to Abkhazia, I don't see anything impossible in this. Dialogue and activation of contacts with Abkhazians and Ossetians is very important. They are our brothers."

"For example, the fact of repatriation of 11 people who died in the war in Abkhazia is somewhat unacceptable to me. They were buried in their homeland, on their land, and on the contrary, their parents or relatives had to go there. This would start the return of refugees and it would be more acceptable. The state should have done everything for this."

"At some stage we have to start unification. All this requires dialogue and communication, without which it is impossible to establish a relationship, no foreign country, no matter how powerful, cannot regulate this issue for us. It is up to us, with our love, our kinship ties and our flag of peace," said Fridon Injia.

The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia believes that it is necessary to differentiate the profit tax in the country's payment system, because the current system clearly needs changes and improvements.

As the chairman of the political group stated in the "Alternative Vision" program of the "Alt Info" TV channel, the need to improve the tax system is indicated by the information spread in the media, according to which Commercial banks in Georgia made a profit of 745 million only in the third quarter.

"Can you imagine how much this number could be in total?" This is a colossal profit, which I find unacceptable. Therefore, it is necessary to differentiate the profit tax in the payment system, thus we will be able to support the lower layer so that they can conduct their activities much more efficiently", said Fridon Injia.

According to him, the proposal of the "European Socialists" party is to create one state investment, commercial bank in the country, which will clearly regulate the situation in the banking sector, thus the state budget will see a profit.

As the chairman of the political group noted, unfortunately, the interests of the World Bank and the IMF intersect in the banking sector, without whose will it is difficult for the country's authorities to make certain decisions.

"The state and the government should take responsibility and, first of all, act only based on the interests of the country and prove to these organizations that the creation of the state bank serves the interests of the country and it is beneficial for our state." - said Fridon Injia.

"I have to remind the Prime Minister, he ordered that he will not sign an action against the country, but inaction can also be directed against the country ... What has been done with regard to medicines is certainly welcome and I hope that our initiative, which envisages the creation of a pharmaceutical enterprise , will also be implemented, because it will be a great achievement for our population, where there are 700-800 thousand pensioners."

"There are a number of issues that can be resolved today, and if our government puts up more sustained pressure to protect the country's interests, it will have more support from the population, which will undoubtedly be a source of pride for the government," Fridon Injia added.

📍 Slogans: "City of Peace" and "Country of Peace" may not be liked only by those who want to take over the government through destabilization - Fridon Injia

🔹 "Whoever wants to change the government in Georgia and cannot do it through elections, the only way remains - destabilization. Destabilization is possible when cataclysms occur, and you are on the side of war."

🔹 This was stated by the chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia on the live broadcast of "Alt-Info" TV.

🔹 According to the MP, unlike the part of the radical opposition, he does not see traces of Russia in the slogans "city of peace" or "country of peace", because Russia is waging war in Ukraine, and it is not a country of peace in this case. Besides, if there is no peace in Georgia, there will be no economic growth, which is attractive to many other states today.

🔹 "You can imagine, the Russian army is stationed in some places, 150 meters from the central highway, and if someone from the military leadership there gets into his head and moves 150 meters, Georgia will be divided into two... Eastern Georgia can still be divided, Western Georgia is already divided. This will be the destabilization that will help interested parties to take over the country. Therefore, this slogan and the peace that exists in Georgia are attractive to all countries in our neighborhood. There is a state in the Caucasus region where there has been no war since 2008. Today, peace is the most appreciated thing in Georgia - you go out into the city and you don't have to fear that the alarm siren will go off, and you have to look for shelter somewhere, or you won't have electricity or water, you won't be able to go where you want... This is the situation that many countries dream of today," he said. Freedon Injia.
