The main problems raised by miners are simple and easy to understand, – Irakli Gharibashvili, Political Secretary of Georgian Dream-Democratic Georgia Party, said in his speech in Chiatura, where the Georgian Dream leaders met with locals.

According to Gharibashvili, miners’ protest is fair and needs a timely reaction. “I want to start today’s speech with solidarity towards miners. My dear people, your protest is fair and needs a clear response. As my friend Kakha Kaladze noted, we will meet our friends, our brothers and will listen to their problems. We promise that we will mediate with the management company in order to solve all problems in time.

The main problems raised by miners are simple and easy to understand. I heard from your majoritarian MP that our miners have elementary problems, for example, food-related problems.

Irakli Gharibashvili called on representatives of the company to fulfill the obligations in relation to the miners and their family members.

Miners went on strike on May 16. They demand improvement of labor conditions and the increase in salaries. Fifteen miners have gone on hunger strike as of today.
