???? Members of the Political Council of the Party of European Socialists discuss the draft state budget for 2022 with the First Deputy Minister of Finance 

Tamar Kiknadze, a member of the party's political council, spoke about the problems of students at the meeting and noted that the number of students whose status has been suspended due to non-payment of tuition fees is quite high.
"It would be good if the money left unused in the field of education last year was distributed to students who had their status suspended due to non-payment of fees, so that they could continue their studies." Noted Tamar Kiknadze.
During the meeting with the First Deputy Minister of Finance Giorgi Kakauridze, the head of the party's Tbilisi organization Nato Arghvliani focused on the problems of IDPs in Georgia.
"Unfortunately, the state has no communication with IDPs, except for A.

Advice period. However, their existence is the most difficult, especially in the densely populated population. Today, in the 21st century, such living conditions are simply unimaginable. "It is difficult for me to convey the situation in which these people live," said Nato Arghvliani.
He stressed that financial assistance to IDPs is meager and unacceptable in the face of current inflation and rising prices.
 As Arghvliani noted, Abkhazia and Samachablo are a common pain and it is necessary to take concrete effective steps in this direction.
"Unfortunately, today the steps taken by the diplomatic corps are limited to concerns and are not enough. "First of all, it is necessary to have political will in terms of sorting out relations." Noted Arghvliani.

The issue of increasing financial assistance to veterans was also raised during the meeting with the Deputy Minister of Finance. As the party of European Socialists Political Council member Victor Tsaava noted We have been talking about the 22-GEL sacramental assistance for veterans for 9 years and the decision made by the Georgian government regarding veterans is important.
Koba Kiladze, an expert on economics and agriculture, who was invited to the meeting, said that the statistics of the programs operating in Georgia clearly show that they are involved in agricultural programs and a very small (insignificant) part of the rural population enjoys these benefits. Also noteworthy is the fact that most of the programs are focused on storing and processing primary agricultural products or even promoting the cultivation of perennial crops or the rehabilitation of existing ones.
 "We think that a special program (at least
Pilot), in which beneficiaries from this vulnerable group would be able to grow annual crops on their own plots, would allow us to increase the number of beneficiaries involved in a single agricultural project, which would lead to redistribution of program benefits to the general public and their involvement Said Koba Kiladze.

According to Giorgi Mikaia, an expert financier of the invited specialist, in order to stimulate the economy, it would be good to return the refinancing rate to the target in the conditions of high inflation.
"Is it possible to attract additional resources or support certain projects that would facilitate foreign direct investment, or to privatize privatized property more actively?" Giorgi Mikaia mentioned at the meeting.

???? "If we want to build a rule of law, all people, regardless of their political position, must be equal before the law."
???? Speech of Fridon Injia, Chairman of the Parliamentary Political Group "European Socialists" at the plenary sitting of the Parliament of Georgia.
???? "If we want to build a rule of law, all people, regardless of their political position, must be equal before the law. What is happening today in Rustavi No. 12 Establishment, I think, is quite high risk, and there is a daily danger that the process will escalate into a civil confrontation. The role of the government and the firm position in relation to all the actions that are destructive are crucial here. "Unfortunately, there is no way to peace and law here."
???? It is inadmissible for any illegal action to be considered in a political context and for political activities to be a justification for accountability before the law.
???? That is why the government's principledness is to establish, once and for all, the rule of law and the principle of equality in the state, as it is in democracies.
???? If there was the rule of law and all the people who have committed crimes, it applies to all the perpetrators, whether you want to be in this government or you want in the previous government, to be punished, not even the number of people at the rally, not even a hundredth of it would come.
???? It would be good if, along with other analyzes, the government and the government as a whole would do an analysis of who was at the rally. And I would tell you one thing, they missed the order, even though the previous government tortured, killed, tied the dead in the morgue in the dark, it was one of the methods of punishment.
???? Despite everything, they came to the rally. Let's talk now - we are Europeans. No, we are Georgians. I am sure that Georgians will make the right choice and Georgia, which is on the brink of the abyss today, will survive.
???? Tomorrow, tomorrow will be what I tell you:
???? The rule of law, punishing all offenders;
???? Justice must be restored.
????I would like to quote the words of one famous person, a person in love with Georgia, a scientist, public figure Mr. Nodar Chitanava:
he says:
???? The man received great undeserved kindness from the government. In return, he clearly resents the reality, the government, and is willing to leave it at any moment if he is convinced that he is in a more lucrative position elsewhere…
????
The transition from a liberal economy to an economic policy where there is capitalism, but at the same time the population is socially protected by the state and takes responsibility for its well-being.
???? See all over Europe today are socialists!

The 2022 state budget is not focused on systemic and institutional changes!
???? Isn't it time to create a new financial institution and develop new mechanisms to financially support the majority of the rural population!
???? Speech of Fridon Injia, Chairman of the Parliamentary Political Group "European Socialists" at the plenary sitting of the Parliament of Georgia.
???? This draft budget is similar to the 2021 budget and I do not see any systemic and institutional changes in it that would be focused on increasing population incomes.
???? The investment projects implemented by the state, in particular, "Produce Georgia", cheap "Agro Credit", "Implement the Future" and other small grant programs, where the state largely subsidizes the interest rate set by commercial banks, are not bad, but It is completely insufficient for the broad strata of the population who want to develop their entrepreneurial activities and carry out their own business projects - this one, and the other - the state does not guarantee and does not ensure the sale of surplus produce from the peasant.
Up to 50% of the population in Georgia live in rural areas and they are completely excluded from the process of creating the country's common wealth. When there is wealth, then there is both export and import substitution. We will not have garlic from Algeria, or eggs from our neighbor Turkey. Thanks to them for not being left unpunished.
???? The above state investment programs are completely inaccessible to the vast majority of the rural population. These programs are available only to large entrepreneurs who meet the rather difficult conditions of commercial banks, or are available to those who own more than 5 hectares of land.
Until the government changes its policy towards ultra-liberal economic policies that rely on wild capitalism and do not take responsibility for the welfare of the population, it turns out that the government today is only committing to projects, but how these projects have changed the social status of the majority of the population. Does not take responsibility; If you take responsibility, then tell me - how? Or where is this responsibility ?!
???? A farmer who owns one hectare of land as he lived 20 years ago still lives today. What has changed for the peasant? Danny even has it constantly - if he did not pay before he pays now, ie. Increased payment. Road made - car he does not have. Pension increased - products and medicines became more expensive by 500% and what came out? ? ? …. (Congregation remained cheerful) არაფერი Nothing has changed for the peasant… As a result we have what we have and are in Machanchala countries as we were, but with great ambitions.
???? Is it time to think about creating a new financial institution and developing new mechanisms to financially support this large part of the rural population, so that they can carry out their economic activities, thus making a significant contribution to the creation of the country's gross domestic product, but for that the country must change The economic policy he is blindly pursuing is blindly because there is darkness ahead. It has been dark in this direction for the last 18 years.
???? Therefore, I consider it expedient to create a state investment financial institution (commercial bank) as one of the options, where the state will have a controlling stake and will take a higher risk compared to commercial banks, due to state interests, and will finance the activities of large sections of the population. , Development of farms and small entrepreneurship. For this, the law does not need to be changed, only the will is needed. Take for example the German banking system, not to mention Norway, the major European countries where the Socialists or the ruling party, or the second party, where there is capitalism and planning, where the refugee is socially protected from day one, not to mention the main population.
???? We must build a country where the state cares about the people and the population is socially protected.

 3+3 Format of Georgia Participate Is crucial.

Members of the political party European Socialists believe that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's initiative for joint regional cooperation between the 3 + 3 countries of the Caucasus - Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia, Turkey and Iran - is crucial.

"Participation in regional projects ensures the immediate socio-economic and infrastructural development of the state, which guarantees its strength and political stability," the political party said in a statement.

We can not change the region, the geographical location of the country, nor can we choose our neighbors. We lived and will live next door to our neighbors. Changing this data is only possible virtually, digitally. Mind, we aim to pursue a pragmatic, realistic and good-neighborly policy based on the vital interests of the country, which will ensure the security, safety, well-being of the country and a precondition for our neighbors to feel comfortable and focused on good neighborly relations.

The offer we have received from NATO - our partner country - says a lot. It, in its entirety, goes beyond regional interests and can become a good experience and roadmap for solving other regional problems as well. Such a proposal is unprecedented in the last two decades and it can be used by all participants to their advantage. This is an initiative that is largely conditioned by the recent reasonable, bold neighborhood policy of the Georgian government and given our geopolitical location.

It is a unique opportunity to defend our interests collectively in this format and to carry out vital tasks, to speak one by one when necessary, which is really necessary, but various forces oppose it in every way. And today, with this proposal, new opportunities emerge. But opponents of this opportunity have already appeared, both at home and abroad. They act in an orchestrated manner, making completely unfounded arguments and not pursuing the interests of the country.

 We believe it is time for the government to act pragmatically to save the country. If you miss this chance, a moment like this can no longer stand still and the country will find itself beyond everything. This will be the final doom for the state.

As for various statements and pressure from some forces on the government, in their language - to say - "bullying", these forces are one political force scattered in different parties, selling under the banner of democracy since 2003 and destroying the country, which culminated in the 2008 war. They have been dreaming of returning to power since 2012, and to implement this utopian idea, ready to repeat the scenario of the 2003 coup, they go for everything, from sabotage to the assassination of a man. This is clearly seen in the events of the current year. The actions of these political groups are destructive, anti-state, unconstitutional and do not fit into any framework of action of political parties. The government, therefore, must show the principality necessary to maintain the constitutional order, must take all measures to avoid a repeat of the 2003 coup scenario. They should not be allowed to put purposeful pressure on the government so that it does not make the right and adequate decisions to get the country out of the impasse. In this impasse, the country found itself as a result of their efforts.

We believe that the government will resist the actions of these destructive forces that want to slip into the abyss of the country. It is time for him to act in the interests of Georgia, including to consider participating in a regional project. This will undoubtedly contribute to the political-economic, social development of our country and will contribute to the establishment of a worthy place for Georgia in the region.

We hope that the Government of Georgia will take an in-depth look at this important initiative and make an adequate decision in the interests of the country.

The concept of "European socialists"

Georgian political party "European Socialists" main

Concepcion

Mission: Social Justice

The results of the last three decades of Georgian history have shown that the population of the country, both rural and urban, has been significantly impoverished. A large part of the population, mainly due to economic hardship, is leaving their homeland and looking for means of physical survival in different countries of the world. Time goes by in this search and it is lost forever for the country. The demographic situation has deteriorated catastrophically. According to 1989 data, 5.5 million people lived in Georgia, and today the country is virtually halved. Retirement insurance accounts for a quarter of the amount a retiree needs for deserving, secure and dignified old age. The rural population has lost the motivation to grow large quantities of agricultural crops due to the insecurity of the domestic key market, non-purchasing power and inaccessibility to the external market. The state is not responsible for the vital issue of rural survival. The level of education has reached a critical, one of the lowest levels in the world. If a promising young person appears, he / she will be in the center of attention of foundations and international organizations of different countries and will go abroad to study or work through certain mechanisms. And from there, in most cases, there is no going back. However, due to the lack of state ideology, family members of young people who have left often welcome this process, which leads to a steady decline instead of increasing social capital. The state does not even act to stop this process. The issue of territorial integrity, which is the foundation of any state's strength, prosperity, and sustainable development, has become irrelevant and secondary.

All this indicates that the state's domestic and foreign policy course needs to change. The interests of the country require a pragmatic, multi-vector foreign policy and the transition to a modern progressive socialist system built on the economic well-being and social equality of the people. To achieve this, the European Socialists have developed a program for the survival and rapid development of the country (see the full version on the website:  www.eurosocialists.ge According to which:

Georgia Must pursue a multi-vector foreign and domestic policy, share the experience of rapid economic development of successful countries (European, Asian, American) and take into account the interests of our country, historical, ethnic-religious, cultural and mental characteristics;

Georgia Must radically change its policy towards the diaspora. All Georgians living abroad must be Georgian citizens. We have no Georgians to lose. The train of Georgian blood and all those who will accept Georgia must be put in the service of the homeland;

Realized It should be noted that the property of the state is the property of the people and it is inviolable. As a result of in-depth study and analysis of the issue, through a general referendum, the concept of object of strategic importance of Georgia - land, water, natural resources, minerals, etc. - should be defined and established by law. Proceeds from this should be spent on the welfare of the people every year and not, as of now, practically flowed abroad or transferred to the property of a few dozen persons. The state should gradually, through redemption, or if necessary, other legal norms, regain all the strategic objects that will be included in this list;

Banking In order to regulate oligopoly in the sector, to provide free access to monetary services for the population, the state should establish a state commercial bank;
The law on land and natural resources needs to be significantly changed. First of all, uncontrolled issuance and alienation of agricultural lands should be stopped;

Sheer Water resources should become an object of special protection and control by the state. If we do not take care of our property and recklessly alienate everything, Georgia will lose its sovereignty, it will be transformed into a branch of transnational holdings and corporations, which are already governed from the outside and Georgia will remain only a geographical concept;

Vital The practice of holding referendums should be introduced in the country to address issues of importance. A referendum should be held within the framework of the unity and steadfastness of the country, by individual cities and municipalities, depending on the problems they face. The rules for holding referendums should be clearly defined and the procedure should be simple;

in Georgia The development of agriculture and processing industry should become a priority, the state should regulate the production of agricultural products in rural areas and guarantee the sale of surplus products. It should promote the creation of ecologically clean organic farms, which will significantly increase the demand for our country's agricultural products and create additional jobs;

Rural For demographic stability and further development, it is necessary to return the surrounding pastures and residential land resources to the village.

Healthcare It should be a priority area of the state, it should be accessible to the population and mostly free - state-funded, as in many European countries, most of the hospitals should be owned by the municipalities. Outpatient clinics should be restored to provide first aid in all villages;

The state, In turn, should create pharmaceutical production, which will be a regulatory mechanism of oligopoly and the population will be able to buy medicines at an affordable price;
Preschool, school and university education should be free - state-funded. Particular attention should be paid to the revival of fundamental science and the development of technological fields;

State Particular care should be taken by pensioners, people with disabilities and veterans. Their pension should be determined in the amount that will give them decent living conditions and means of rest;

With many children Families should be the subject of special care and stimulation for the country;

Energy This is an area that is one of the key determinants of future political and economic stability in Georgia, so the state should pay special attention to this area. Basic distribution methods and functions;

in country Monopolies on water, gas and electricity supplies must be prevented. The population should be able to choose from whom to buy it;

Artificially The main task of the country should be to resolve the current Georgian-Abkhazian and Georgian-Ossetian conflict. New approaches need to be identified - a need for a direct negotiation regime with the participation of all stakeholders (internal or external);

County Service in the Armed Forces should be mandatory for all social strata. He should become a prestigious and proud young man and his family. They should enjoy the appropriate privileges. All young people, regardless of gender or social status, must undergo military service. It should be an important stage in the life of a young person, which will ensure the formation of a sense of love and devotion in the country and will be a business card for career advancement.

Of the above If implemented, we will adopt a model of statehood that ensures the unity of Georgia and rapid economic development, we will achieve an attractive, interesting country that will be a role model and acceptable to all. This will solve not only the political-economic, but also the demographic problem. This is a precondition for saving Georgia.
