"Years will pass, and generations will positively evaluate the fact that during your tenure as the country's prime minister in this tense situation, Georgia did not engage in war. Thank you for saving the country today, not entering the war.

This was stated by the member of "European Socialists", the vice-speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, Avtandil Enukidze, during the interpellation hearings in the highest legislative body of Prime Minister Iraklia Garibashvili.

«It is absolutely correct that the sanctions were not introduced. First, that's what our country needed, and secondly, if you draw a parallel with what they say, the alleged liberation of criminals will contribute to depolarization, then the introduction of these sanctions would not contribute to the situation we have. In particular, 30 kilometers away is the Russian army, which can turn against us..."

"They blame you for visiting Asian countries... It's good that your visits are carried out in Asian countries, because we had authority in these countries, which was lost, and this authority is already being restored. If you are looking for investments to attract to the country, whether it is from Asia, Africa or any other country, let no one limit us in this. I see one thing behind it - they don't want the development of our country".

"Some people don't like attacks on ambassadors... I don't think these are attacks." If the ambassador says something that is not acceptable for my country and it is necessary to respond, it is necessary to do it. If we deal with a misunderstanding, it will also be clarified", Avtandil Enukidze said.

During the meeting of the members of the parliamentary political group "European Socialists" with the delegation of the OSCE-ODIHR and the Venice Commission, MPs Fridon Indzhiya and David Zilpimiani emphasized the importance of switching to an electronic electoral system and eliminating the illegal use of administrative resources during the elections.

As noted by the head of "European Socialists" Fridon Indzhiya, the most important change provided by the draft law is the introduction of the electronic voting process and counting of results. At the same time, the tightening of the law regarding the use of administrative resources is also important.

«I believe that doubling the fines for the use of administrative resources in the pre-election period will not be effective. More strict measures are needed. Those who attempt to commit an illegal act no longer have the right to work in the public service and must serve a sentence in prison. In case of doubling the fine, this fine will be paid by the customer, not the executor", noted Fridon Inzhiya.

According to him, it is necessary to change the procedure for electing the chairman of the Central Committee, which is currently being elected for a period of 6 months due to the fact that the parliamentary majority cannot gain the necessary 90 votes.

"This is abnormal - we elect the government with 76 votes, and the chairman of the Central Committee with 90 votes. This is a step back for the ruling party and the result of its inconsequential actions," the head of the socialists said.

Deputy David Zilpimiani emphasized at the meeting that electronic elections solve all problems related to elections, if they include not only the process of electronic voting, but also electronic identification of the voter, the so-called video image.

"The main emphasis is on the 5-percent electoral barrier, which remains unchanged to this day. I advocate lowering the barrier to approximately 2.51 TP2T, which will be a good chance for small parties, and for subjects who have crossed the threshold, it will become an opportunity to form their own group or faction," said David Zilpimani.
