Labor Party Considers Majority MPs and Nino Burjanadze as Bandits?

Labor Party takes special exception to the initiative that provides for MPs to be elected through a majority voting system. Members of the labor party consider that local self-government, Administrations and regional governors should be responsible in caring about their own districts. “During Shevardnadze-Saakashvili’s governments a new clan of majority MPs was firmly established in the Georgian political structure. They were so-called businessman-MPs who ran illegal business and went about terrorizing the populace.  Today, the government’s initiative is based on the desire to get access to the money from businesspersons in order to guarantee the victory of the government in elections and to gain majority seats in the parliament through a system of bribery and rigged elections. They only want to continue with their illegal activities,” said Giorgi Gugava, Political Secretary of the Labor Part during a recent press-conference.

The Labor Party calls upon Georgians to expel such kinds of criminal majority MPs (single mandate MPs) from their districts. They also claimed that MPs cannot run businesses. Today, such businesspersons take unfair advantages of their membership in the Georgian parliament in order to protect their business. “Similar MPs supported the laws that led our country to disaster,” said Ioseb Shatberashvili, secretary general of the Labor Party.  

Members of the party provided the list of the people who are in the Parliament and lead criminal activities. These people are: Nino Burjanadze, the chairperson of the Parliament, who represents the “Bread Mafia”. She owns markets and hunting reservations. Davit Bezhuashvili is a stockholder of Gas Corporation and owns Georgian Cement, “Saktsementi”. The rest on the list of well established MPs are Niko Lekishvili, Roman Melia, Beso Jugeli and Bezhan Butskhrikidze, a majority MP from Terjola District. The latter has been MP for already four terms of the Georgian parliament.
