Giorgi Gakharia: Direct message conveyed by citizens to each political power was to jointly care for country and jointly find a solution to the crisis
Assessment of the political process is becoming more and more second-rated nowadays. Orders made by our citizens and population are direct to oblige us to quickly find an efficient solution to the present political situation, – Giorgi Gakharia, Prime Minister of Georgia stated at the Executive Government Meeting today.
According to the Head of Government of Georgia, it is an order of the citizens and population of the country.
“I am confident that the political spectrum fully shares this. Irrespective of the fact that I understand it well that certain destructive steps and actions will be continued, though all of us should agree that such destructive steps and actions will not and cannot be supported by our citizens, of course. It became apparent on October 31, when the citizens of Georgia equipped 9 political powers with a mandate to represent them in the supreme legislative body of the country – at the Parliament of Georgia – and this mandate was and is a mandate of responsibility. It is a responsibility towards the country and its future.
Everyone should remember when this decision was made by the citizens of Georgia. They decided so in the midst of a wide-scale war in the region, when the pandemic was gearing more force, when the global economic crisis was becoming deeper and all of that was a targeted message to each politician and political power to jointly care for the country and jointly find a solution to the crisis in these challenging times” stated Giorgi Gakharia.
According to the Prime Minister of Georgia, this is exactly the main mandate of responsibility, which 9 political powers were equipped with by the citizens of Georgia.
“We all understand it well that what we need most of all today is the sustainable political process to make sure that the ambitious plan of Georgia – European plan – gets materialized and to continue executing this plan. It is the most important that the election and post-election process should serve the need of further democratization of Georgia. Every power – ruling or opposition – all of us should understand that the mandate given to us by the citizens of Georgia was primarily to jointly care for the country and, of course, dialogue has no alternative. It is a responsibility of each political power and this is a responsibility in challenging times, when every effort should be joined to cope with the pandemic, economic crisis and – what is most important – continue steering our country towards Europe and its Euro-Atlantic future in the most efficient and effective manner, as our citizens told us that democratic processes at large and democratically elected parliament in particular is the place where the fate of the country should be decided, rather than street rallies. I am confident that the political spectrum understands it very well and I am sure that everyone will have enough responsibility to conceptualize this message conveyed by our citizens and to properly translate them into concrete steps”- stated Giorgi Gakharia.
