Alternative to Saakashvili: Justice Party of Georgia
Igor Giorgadze: -I will use any chance to get Georgia rid of the Soros piglets. Political crisis is not necessary for it. Our party is working on it and has many associates as for example the Anti-Soros Movement. Our main goal is to remove those people who are destroying our country. In the last election, Saakashvili received only 53% of the vote, even as he obstructed opposition candidate registration. How much support does he have now? Western leaders condone shelling of ethnic minorities in the Caucasus. What other groups are persona non grata? http://www.djavakhk.com/cartes.php?l=en Representative of Interfax: -Many political scientists call the incumbent government of Georgia a regime. Despite the declaration of democracy, the democratic values are in fact ruined. Do you have any data about the civil society in Georgia? Igor Giorgadze: -I am not the only person who has such data. International human rights organizations such as the Amnesty International and the Human Rights Watch have all the information about the civil society and democratic processes in Georgia. I can give a good picture of Georgian reality on the example of our party. 17 activists of our party have been kidnapped and beaten during the last four months. None of these incidents have been investigated. This indicates that it is the government behind these beatings. Torture is widespread in Georgian prisons. When Saakashvili publicly stated that Georgia has made big progress towards democracy, international organizations refuted this statement saying that it was simply false. The attack on democracy is underway in Georgia. The discontent of the people is growing. Everywhere in streets, shops, public transport, you can hear people criticizing and swearing at the government. On the one hand it is sad but on the other hand it gives us hope that the God is on our side. Posted by: McZoid 2008-08-17 |
