“The Georgian Dream representatives should acknowledge that in the 13th year of your rule, you bear both legal and political responsibility for all the problems in the country in the 13th year of your rule,” said Vika Pilpani, a member of the Gakharia for Georgia party at the plenary.

According to Pilpani, Georgian families struggled for survival from month to month amid a continuous rise in prices and bank liabilities. She inquired how young people could plan their future when they saw no prospects in the country and when individuals or their labour had no value.

“Today, I will not speak about democracy, seizure of institutions, civil rights, right to a fair court. I will accentuate the right of poor citizens to survive. Their only asset is their labor. Unlike you, they do not have stocks, shares, companies in million-dollar businesses, real estate, business or bank deposits.

The Georgian Dream representatives should acknowledge that in the 13th year of your rule, you bear both legal and political responsibility for all the problems in the country in the 13th year of your rule. Poverty remains the top challenge and you are responsible for that due to your incited and reigning corruption, about which you allegedly did not know anything before. If your team’s high-ranking officials had been stealing millions from the state budget and you knew nothing, then you have a big problem with management. Admit that you cannot control corruption, apologize to people and quit posts,” she said.

Vika Pilpani went on to say that the GD’s fight against corruption is fake since state institutions operate through corrupt scams and although stealing millions from the budget by high-ranking officials is admitted and revealed, no actions followed, no one was held politically accountable for “allowing these high-ranking officials to steal from the budget.”

She stressed that while approximately 30 millionaires sat in the parliament hall, citizens outside could hardly buy food products with 300-GEL monthly wages.

“Therefore, your stay here cannot be called either national or successful. Georgian citizens should not be taught nationalism by you, your responsibility is to drive citizens out of poverty and the solution is to value their only asset, which is labor,” she concluded.
