🔹 It turns out that the Constitution of Georgia is a pawn of European structures - Fridon Eng

🔹 "I don't want anyone to think that the changes that we have to make to the constitution regarding the procedure for electing the General Prosecutor at the request of the European Union are close to logic. It turns out that the Constitution of Georgia is a pawn of European structures, we should accept it as they want."

🔹 This statement was made by the chairman of the political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia at the plenary session of the Parliament during the discussion of the constitutional amendment bill, according to which the procedure for electing the Prosecutor General is changed.

🔹 According to him, Georgia is already a candidate for membership in the European Union, just like Turkey, which made a corresponding application to the European Union in 1993.

🔹 "Do you mean any of the 27 member states of the European Union, which changed the constitution at the request of the European Union?" Is there a possibility that the European structures will send another letter, as was the case with the 12-point resolution, in the development of which the Georgian authorities did not participate, in which they demand that the issue of the declaration of confidence in the government, the audit service, the special investigative commission and A.S. Wouldn't it be better if we made this change in advance so that this letter would no longer be sent from there? Does this violate the rights of the country and the people living in this country? It turns out that we accept the constitution temporarily, and the Georgian constitution is a pawn of European structures", said Fridon Injia.

🔹 According to the presented project, the Parliament of the next two convocations will elect the Prosecutor General with the majority of three fifths of the full composition, i.e. 90 votes. In the event that the Parliament fails to elect the Prosecutor General twice, then the Prosecutor General will be elected by the majority of the full membership, i.e. 76 votes, and his term of office will be determined for one year instead of 6 years.

🔹 The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia will not support the draft of the constitutional law, which envisages making changes to the procedure for electing the Prosecutor General in the transitional provision of the Constitution of Georgia.

🔹 The chairman of the political group made a statement about this at the session of the Legal Affairs Committee of the Parliament of Georgia.

🔹 "No constitutional institution envisages a one-year absence. We have a good example of how to choose an election administration, and we ignore that example and rely on the insulting 12 points that were sent to us. This is offensive to me. Then, if we have to change again, I have misunderstood you, what kind of kindergarten is it? We have made the constitution a temporary law... whoever likes it, it will be done that way... do you think that by adopting this law we will contribute to depolarization?" - said Fridon Injia.

🔹 According to the project, the Parliament of the next two convocations will elect the Prosecutor General with a majority of three fifths of the full composition. If the Parliament fails to elect the Prosecutor General twice with a three-fifths majority of the full composition, the Parliament elects the Prosecutor General with a majority of the full composition.
The term of office of the General Prosecutor elected by the majority of the full composition is one year.

Chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia and representatives of the political group met with the Deputy Minister of Finance Giorgi Kakauridze regarding the 2023 state budget bill of Georgia.

Giorgi Kakauridze provided information on the main parameters of the state budget to the members of the parliamentary political group, introduced macroeconomic and economic growth forecasts and talked about the amounts of funds allocated to state agencies and the programs and projects on which the said funds are planned to be spent.

"We believe that the funding of the Ministry of Education and Science should be increased even more." Resources should be allocated in the budget for the promotion of science. Science must be developed and for this more support from the state is needed. We also believe that the financing of the Ministry of Agriculture should be increased and more investments should be made there than what is determined today. We have an initiative to create a state investment commercial bank that will finance various programs such as "Make in Georgia" and others. It will be a kind of social program aimed at the well-being of the population", said the chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia.

🔹 "The changes presented by the ruling party are to a certain extent a victory for the opposition and a step forward."

🔹 The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia announced this in the parliament.

🔹 At the initiative of the parliamentary majority, the process of public review of the draft of the Georgian constitutional law has started in the country's highest legislative body.
