The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia evaluates the last document published by the European Parliament, which calls on the Georgian authorities to release Mikheil Saakashvili from prison, as a gross interference in state affairs.
"This is clearly interference in Georgia's internal affairs. This is an insult to the state, the constitution, the laws that expose the criminal. In practice, they are telling us to release the guilty. A criminal is a criminal, not only according to Georgian legislation, but also according to their legislation. The criminal must be punished, regardless of his political view or status", the deputy said in the "Alternative View" program of the "Alt-Info" TV company.
According to the document, the European Parliament once again calls on the Georgian authorities to release former President Mikheil Saakashvili and allow him to undergo appropriate treatment abroad for humanitarian purposes and use this as a means of reducing political polarization.
Regarding the case of Badri Japaridze and Mamuka Khazaradze, the chairman of the political group noted that if they had any crime, the relevant agencies should have made a decision regarding them a little earlier, before Japaridze and Khazaradze got involved in politics.
"It took 7-8 years and more for this. Therefore, it is a little different here. Nevertheless, this is also the business of the Georgian government", the MP added.
The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia believes that, based on the important political events taking place in the world, there are many things to be well analyzed and thought about, as the world's new political and economic centers are intersecting.
While visiting the "Alternative Vision" program of the "Alt Info" TV company, the journalist asked the question, "Didn't Georgia, through various authorities, bow down to the European Union or In front of the countries of the world", Friedon Injia noted that, of course, such facts took place during the previous government, and in some cases, it was a crime.
"Every government has its own interests and tasks. The previous government had its own interest and task. The current government has found other interests and goals that are closer to the people's interests, and I welcome this direction. However, I would say that in many cases this is not the case... perhaps the time is not yet right. Let's wait for another election, what will be the situation in the world. For example, the same Chinese factor where the congress was held and they are now in the process of preparing to show their plans. Therefore, the following steps will probably appear. This will also be important. Also, it will be seen how and with what the polarization, the confrontation between the parties, which is in the United States of America, will end."
"Also, the situation in the EU itself is important. In particular, the visit of the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany (Martin Schulz - Chancellor of Germany) to China is noteworthy. Practically, the first people from European countries came there less often. It should be noted that the German Chancellor arrived in China and was accompanied by the owners of such industrial concerns, which represent the driving force of the EU economy. This is something to think about, to analyze well, and everyone should draw an appropriate conclusion." - said Fridon Injia.
"If we become a full-fledged state and really occupy the place in Transcaucasia that we should occupy, and we are able to implement a grand economic project, which involves a transit corridor of energy trains to Europe from Georgia through the Black Sea, Europe itself will accept us without any conditions. We must become necessary for Europe. Until we become necessary and acceptable for Europe, they will constantly impose conditions on us."
Chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia stated this on the live broadcast of the "Alt-Info" TV station in the "Alternative View" program.
"The project of energy trains is of such great importance that in case of its implementation, the President of the European Commission Mrs. Ursula von der Leyen will not only come to Azerbaijan, but she should come to Georgia, because we are between Azerbaijan and Europe, Georgia. And, if Azerbaijan is important with its energy resources, of course, it is important, but in terms of the supply of energy trains, we, Georgia, are the main conductor. So, if we wait, they will interview us. Because in other cases there will be such so-called "Pink-Ponky" game. "Unfortunately, the demands put forward by the European Union are directly related to the sovereignty and independence of Georgia, and this implies interference in internal affairs."
"We have to continue on our way. This is the path of independence, sovereignty," said Fridon Injia.
In the program, the chairman of the political group once again drew attention to the issue of granting Georgia the status of a member state of the European Union and noted that Georgia is practically already a candidate country with the official application made by the government.
"Personally, as a citizen of Georgia, this is how I would look at this issue. I think that we are already a candidate country for EU membership, because we submitted a formal application in the prescribed manner, and now they have to decide whether to accept us in the EU or not. They should see what we are doing, what the legislation is, we are making various decisions that are in the interests of Georgia. It should be up to them to decide whether such a state wants to join Europe or not," Fridon Injia said.
The chairman of the political group believes that Georgia should, of course, receive certain benefits from the European Union. It will be financial opportunities, technologies or something else that will not interfere with "Georgia's identity, independence, sovereignty".
"We must continue the policy that we have today, namely, more or less independent policy based on the interests of the state of Georgia, because we are not completely independent yet. We are still dependent on the IMF and other financial organizations of the world, but we can play the role of an independent player, as Turkey does, even though Turkey is a member of NATO, but it acts in the interest of the state to see its profit. It is with such a realistic and pragmatic policy that Georgia will be able to regain the role of a leading country in Transcaucasia, as it was historically, and become a necessary and attractive country for everyone," Fridon Injia said.
In the highest legislative body of the country, the chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia, the vice-speaker of the parliament Avtandil Enukidze and members of the political group met with the extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Georgia H.E. Zhou Qian.
The chairman of the political group, Fridon Injia, met the Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Georgia, H.E. He congratulated Zhou Qian on the 20th Congress of the "Communist Party" of China conducting and thanked for visiting the Parliament.
"Our party fully shares the concept and the policy of governing the country that the "Communist Party" of China implements in your state. The experience of the political leadership of the People's Republic of China in managing the country, which it has accumulated over the years, is truly exemplary and exemplary." - said Fridon Injia at the meeting.
The chairman of the political group drew attention to the geopolitical role of Georgia, which nowadays provides the greatest opportunities for the implementation of various important economic projects in Transcaucasia, in particular, such as: energy trains, production of alternative solar energy, aviation or transit traffic, development of sea ports and strengthening of cargo turnover, sharing of experience in the field of agriculture , which is part of the "Silk Road" project.
The chairman of the political group Fridon Injia proposed to the ambassador of the People's Republic of China that in order to popularize the governance model of the Chinese state, the Chinese model should be introduced in any region, district or district of Georgia and its modernization should be done with the idea of implementing economic or social projects.
"It would be good to develop a specific plan or concept, necessarily based on democratic principles, which will contribute to the motivation of the population and play an important role in terms of the economic and social development of a particular region," Fridon Injia said at the meeting.
According to the chairman of the political group, it is also important to prepare a memorandum of cooperation in order to deepen the relationship between the two parties, which will contribute to further deepening and strengthening of the relationship between the two parties, as well as between the two countries, Georgia and China.
According to Avtandil Enukidze, the Vice-Speaker of the Parliament, he supports China's political course and considers it important to strengthen and deepen relations, both at the state level and in terms of close cooperation between the two parties.
"The mood of our party is very positive in terms of deepening close cooperation with you, and of course we support China's sovereignty and its development. I have many friendship factors. I cooperate with representatives of diaspora and thank you for this meeting". - Avtandil Enukidze noted at the meeting.
On his part, the ambassador emphasized the importance of today's meeting and thanked the chairman of the political group "European Socialists" for organizing the meeting.
"Recently, the 20th Congress ended in China, where the results achieved in the country in recent years were summarized and future plans and tasks were set. I would like to mention that a special report was published at the congress, where the leadership of the "Communist Party" of China thanked the parties of various countries for their cooperation, including your party - "European Socialists", - said the ambassador.
According to the ambassador, this year marks the 30th anniversary of Georgian-Chinese diplomatic relations, and it is welcome that "such an important anniversary coincided with the period of his ambassadorship".
"You know how important it is to develop relations between Georgia and China at the diplomatic and legislative level. Also, it is very important to deepen trade relations between Georgia and China. In this regard, Georgia is one of the strategic partner countries for China. China always supports the independence and sovereignty of Kazakhstan. Georgia occupies a very important geopolitical place, and in this regard, the implementation of strategic projects is very important. It is also important to implement infrastructural projects in the field of logistics, which will greatly improve the direction of logistics in your country." - said the ambassador.
At the end of the meeting, the desire for close cooperation was expressed and a specific future work plan was drawn up.
🔹 We know that you create comfort for drug addicts, but what will you do to protect those citizens who are not drug addicts yet and may be "infected" by this misfortune - Fridon Injia's question to Iago Khvichia
🔹 The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia asked one of the candidates for the public defender, the chairman of the political group "Girchi" Iago Khvichia, questions regarding the tightening of the drug policy at the meeting of the human rights protection and civil integration committee of the parliament.
🔹 "There are a lot of people addicted to drugs in Georgia. What is wrong with our youth, the number of drug addicts has risen to almost half a million. We already know one side - you will create comfort for drug addicts. What can the public defender do to protect the rights of ordinary people who are not yet drug addicts and may be "infected" by this unfortunate case?
🔹 Why is it that we are the first in the number of drug addicts in some Asian countries, where, despite the fact that they grow narcotic crops, we are even ahead of Uzbekistan, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Armenia. This is a disaster - up to half a million drug addicts, who, I believe, are no longer full-fledged people, plus 700 thousand pensioners and the same number of children, what is left of the population of Sakathvelo... This needs help... If you are the public defender, what will you do in this regard? ?
