On October 15, the country's legislature on the draft state budget for 2022

On October 15, a meeting of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" with the First Deputy Minister of Finance Giorgi Kakauridze was held in the country's legislature regarding the draft state budget for 2022.

???? "The draft state budget for 2022 is not focused on social security of the population. "If the state does not take the job of satisfying the people to some extent, and does not find ways to solve their problems, the 50% of the population living in rural areas will be in a very difficult situation," said Fridon Injia.????According to the chairman of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists", it is necessary to create a state-owned commercial investment bank, which will aim to provide access to credit resources for the general public. "Why can't one state bank be established? In Norway, for example, there are no private banks at all and there are state-owned banks. Why can't one state bank be established in Georgia, through which the 10% that you finance will go to the state budget. This is one of the mechanisms and options in terms of increasing revenue. If we talk about increasing funding, etc. If income does not increase, in the state, nothing will happen. Here we are talking about this mechanism that will go to that peasant and work for his well-being. Now it turns out that there are state programs, for those who have the financial means, and for those who do not have the finances, nothing goes with it, and second - whatever the state spends on financing, goes entirely to private banks. That is why private banks' profits are up to somewhere around $ 1 billion this year. If even half a billion GEL enters the state, it will be a lot of money for the country, ”Fridon Injia addressed Giorgi Kakauridze at the meeting. According to him, if the state does not take care of the social security issues of the population, the situation in the country will be very difficult. "The mayors and governors who are in the districts have no responsibility to the local people and they do not care about their well-being and these people have shifted to feeding themselves," said Fridon Injia.   ???? Today's meeting was attended by invited specialists of the field together with the members of the political group.

???? The members of the political party "European Socialists" appeal to the Georgian government and the ruling party to enact the relevant legislative norms, according to which there will be an adequate response to the facts of baseless accusations, slander or personal insults against the person.
???? "In today's reality, there is a sad and vicious practice, according to which administrative fines are practically useless and bring nothing. In Georgian society, swearing, personal insults, and slander have become commonplace, and no adequate administrative sanctions have been imposed by law enforcement agencies. The court is limited to issuing fines and the court's decision is made automatically, as if the judges there are not robots, but robots, "the party said in a statement.
???? There is an impression that the judiciary and certain political opposition forces are acting in concert, because the existing financial sanctions, which are used to punish the offender, are not an adequate form of this punishment and are completely ineffective.
???? "According to the established practice today, a person who commits abusive acts, or makes such defamatory statements, represents a political party or organization and performs a specific task. "Accordingly, the fine is paid by the specific political party to which it is a member," the statement said.
???? Members of the Party of European Socialists call on the law enforcement agencies, as well as the authorities, to take adequate and effective measures to restore justice to the rule of law.

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.
