📍 Chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia focused on the issue of copyrights at the plenary session and noted that the control over copyrights is not the responsibility of the executive power and its structures. This requirement is uniquely defined and differentiated by all EU legislation and acts.
🔹 Therefore, according to the request of the European Commission and the Association Agreement, the legislation of Georgia must be in full agreement and harmonization with the legislation of the European Union.
📍 Chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia believes that in any bill that will be initiated in the highest legislative body, it should be clearly described how this or that initiative responds to the interests of Georgia.
🔹 Fridon Injia announced this at the plenary session of the Parliament of Georgia.
"When initiating bills, the explanatory card mainly mentions: the essence of the bill, how the bill has a financial impact on the state budget, children's rights, international obligations, international law, relations with international organizations, association agreement and so on. But one main thing is not written here - the interests of Georgia. Bills should clearly describe how this or that legislative initiative serves the interests of Georgia", said the MP.
🔹 According to him, the question is often heard, do we want European integration?
🔹 "We want everything that will be in the interests of Georgia", Fridon Injia added.
📍 The chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia believes that Georgia will not need the institution of the public defender, if there is rule of law in the state.
🔹 The chairman of the political group is sure that in the event of a survey of the population, the government will receive only one answer, that Georgia does not need a public defender.
🔹 "I am sure that even if a survey is conducted now, we will get the answer that Georgia does not need a public defender."
🔹 Fridon Injia announced this in the country's highest legislative body.
🔹 "My personal view is that Georgia does not need a public defender, if there is rule of law in the state. Unfortunately, there is still no rule of law, and it is written in the constitution that there should be an institution of the public defender. Therefore, I believe that the public defender should protect the beliefs, customs, history, culture of all people living in Georgia, and the rights of all citizens. Therefore, let's choose a person who loves the motherland, is loyal and worthy," said Fridon Injia.
📍 Chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" Fridon Injia responded to the September 19 statement of 4 MPs of the public movement "People's Power" at the plenary session of the Parliament of Georgia, regarding the issue of financing by the United States of America, where it is noted that "American financing in Georgia is not aimed at strengthening the democratic system , but it is aimed at shaking it."
🔹 At the plenary session, Fridon Injia appealed to his colleagues to read the mentioned statement carefully, because it contains many important and interesting issues, which he has repeatedly emphasized in his parliamentary speeches.
📍 Discussion continues in the Parliament on "Amending the Law of Georgia on the 2022 State Budget of Georgia". 🔹 Members of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" met with the First Deputy Minister of Finance, Giorgi Kakauridze. The first deputy minister introduced the main changes to the main financial document to the deputies and talked about economic trends. 🔹 "Taking into account the existing trends, we changed the annual forecasts. The rate of economic growth will be higher than initially planned – 8.5%, and we also have additional revenues, which we distribute in two directions. The first and most important thing is to reduce the budget deficit and debt. The planned debt collection is reduced by approximately 700 million GEL. The second direction is the financing of the necessary expenses, which the country has undertaken as an obligation. This is the direction of children's social protection, employment of the socially vulnerable, development of agriculture, infrastructure, provision of social guarantees for policemen and soldiers, and those infrastructure projects that are important for the well-being of our population in various municipalities," said Giorgi Kakauridze. 🔹 According to Fridon Injia, "European Socialists" supports the planned changes in the state budget, as tax revenues of the combined budget increase by 1,266.0 million GEL. 🔹 "This is quite a large amount and the budget increase is welcome. However, how this additional income is distributed is important. There may be some questions in this direction. When distributing the money, first of all, the needs that appeared this year should be taken into account," said the chairman of the parliamentary political group.
