They believe that the so-called. More information about political facts and events should be disseminated from behind the scenes. There was an argument, a discussion, and they decided that they needed a free parliamentary mandate to voice this.

Viktor Kipiani on Bidzina Ivanishvili - When a person is restricted from accessing and disposing of his assets, these are unspoken, factual sanctions
Viktor Kipiani on Bidzina Ivanishvili - When a person is restricted from accessing and disposing of his assets, these are unspoken, factual sanctions
twitter
According to Victor Kipiani, the lawyer of ex -premier Bidzina Ivanishvili , the chairman of the analytical center "GeoCase", the problem with the transfer of money to Bidzina Ivanishvili has been partially solved .
As he noted in the "Political Space" program on "Palitranius", when Ivanishvili is restricted from accessing and disposing of his assets, this can be considered a de facto sanction.
"Partially resolved, partly continues. In one of the broadcasts, I used such a set of words, I said actual sanctions, and I proved this by the fact that when a person is restricted from accessing and disposing of his assets, these are unspoken, factual sanctions. This accurately reflects the condition in which he finds himself today. I think we can limit ourselves to this answer to this dispute, "Kipiani said.
According to him, a difficult and complex dispute is going on with the participation of a Georgian citizen, Bidzina Ivanishvili , which can be celebrated by the law.
"When our fellow citizens are caught up in such a global, financial institution, perhaps this fact itself leads to more solidarity and more compassion on our part, because for the first time a precedent can be set when the law is celebrated and the creator of this law is our fellow citizen and member of our society." ", - said Kipiani.
According to the lawyer, he has no reason to believe that Bidzina Ivanishvili is an obstacle for Georgia on its way to European integration.

European Parliament demands to impose sanctions against Bidzina Ivanishvili

The nitty-gritty of the vetoing actions by The President are immaterial. The significance of those actions, even though only symbolic, highlights the need for the removal of the Georgian Dream from office. The Georgian Dream with Bidzina Ivanishvili pulling the strings, have hoodwinked some of the politicians of the West, and also some of the Georgian electorate into believing that they were aligned to the West. The cat is now out of the bag!
Only three ticks. Nino Tsilosani is a Georgian Dream Member of Parliament and is putting a negative spin on the Georgian President stance in vetoing all bills and laws. Salome Zourabichvili, the President of The Republic of Georgia is stopping the GD from governing by vetoing all bills and laws. It's more pressure for an early election to remove the GD and BI, allowing the country to align with the EU.

According to the MP of the parliamentary majority, Nino Tsilosani , the demand for the resignation of the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Gharibashvili has no grounds.
He said the demand for the resignation of the Prime Minister serves to deepen polarization and serve radical purposes, which has no justification.
According to Nino Tsilosani , depolarization cannot be done unilaterally and all parties involved must participate in it.
"During these rallies, if our radical opposition, or its affiliated organizations, fully withdraw their supporters, it will not change the fact that the ruling team has more supporters across the country. "It is our obligation to implement the recommendations given to the state, and despite these actions, of course, we have started working on all this and as before, every year and gradually approaching the EU, we will continue this process until the end of the year," - said Nino Tsilosani .
The MP also spoke about the veto of the draft law on conducting covert investigative actions by the President of Georgia and said that the President's decision is not a constructive step in the process of achieving the goal of depolarization.
"In principle, the president said in his own statement that because he could not legally justify the veto, he gave it all a political overtone. He also said that by the end of the year he will be in a state of political controversy and will veto all bills or laws, which in itself is not a constructive step in achieving the goal of depolarization, "- said Tsilosani.

The EU, Uncle Sam and the UK, have finally woken up to the shenanigan's of the GD, under the control of BI. IMHO due to the contest over the pond occurring at the same time as the Georgian elections, they took their eyes of the ball, allowing the GD to unfairly win. IMHO when the GD finally lose power, FRR will get an extension of the PSA and the SM's will arrive. IMHO the noise from the court cases , that have allowed the can to be kicked down the road, will then fade away.

Carl Bildt - this guy, I'm talking about the Prime Minister of Georgia, is no longer subject to rehabilitation - derailed
twitter
Former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt says Irakli Gharibashvili has "derailed".
Bildt shares Irakli Gharibashvili 's statement on Twitter, where the Georgian Prime Minister says that "Carl Bildt's wife's company has taken millions from the budget during the National Movement, and today it is coming out and teaching us."
"This boy - I am talking about the Prime Minister of Georgia - is no longer subject to rehabilitation. Speaking in Parliament, accusing my wife of stealing millions from Georgia shows that she derailed. "It is a tragedy for a very good country," Bildt wrote.
For information, according to the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Gharibashvili , Carl Bildt has taken millions from the budget during the rule of the "National Movement". As the Prime Minister mentioned in his speech in the Parliament, he knows the identities of the lobbyists bribed from the budget. Gharibashvili named former Swedish Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Carl Bildt as one of them.
"I have the names of lobbyists bought from the budget. Most will tell you everything. From the budget you paid millions to Carl Bildt for example. The company of Carl Bildt's wife has lost millions during your rule, comes out today and teaches us. Give it to me now today. Start writing now. "Give it to me," Gharibashvili said.

Speaking in parliament on June 22, Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili said that Georgia was one of the leading countries in the fight against corruption. The Georgian government often uses misinterpretations of international rankings to hide real problems in the country, Transparency International-Georgia said in a statement.
According to the organization, "the influence of Bidzina Ivanishvili , the founder of the ruling party, fits into the definition of state seizure of key institutions, despite the fact that Ivanishvili formally left politics."
"The Prime Minister was checking the data of the Transparency International Perception Index (CPI) for 2021 this time as well. He said that according to the CPI, Georgia was in the 51st place in 2012 and in the 45th place in 2021, however, he did not mention that the main determinant is the score obtained in the index.
In the case of Georgia, the score has not improved significantly since 2012 - in 2012 the country had 52 out of 100 points, and after 9 years, in 2021 it has 55, which indicates the stagnation of anti-corruption reforms in the country. 55 points is the average. For example, the scores of the 10 countries with the best results exceed 80. He said that Georgia is the undisputed leader in the Association Trio compared to Ukraine and Moldova. According to the CPI, Georgia really has a better result, which is largely due to the low level of petty bribery. However, successful anti-bribery reforms were carried out 18 years ago and can not be considered as the achievement of the current government. The CPI scores indicate that similar ambitious reforms have not been implemented in the last 9 years. However, unlike Moldova and Ukraine,
Transparency International started talking about the worst manifestation of corruption in Georgia - the seizure of the state in 2019, when the seizure of the state was named as one of the reasons for the democratic setback in the country.
Analyzing the results of the 2021 CPI, Transparency International said: "The influence of the ruling party's founder, Bidzina Ivanishvili , fits into the definition of state seizure of key institutions, even though Ivanishvili formally left politics. "His party, the Georgian Dream, has in recent years finally seized control of the judiciary and law enforcement, effectively halting the political momentum needed to fight corruption," Transparency International said in a statement.

Gakharia’s team offers roadmap for the EU Candidacy status to Gov’t
"For Georgia" urges the Government to admit problems

Yet Georgian Energy Minister Kakha Kaladze has been negotiating with Russia’s energy giant Gazprom, which is believed to be widely utilized for fulfilling Putin’s government’s political and geopolitical interests. The Minister declares that Gazprom could fill a “gap caused by the energy shortage of Azerbaijan”, Georgia’s main gas and oil supplier since 2006, when Russia endeavored Georgia to pay its political price for Euro-Atlantic aspiration and, as a result, cut gas supply during a very cold winter.
Likewise, U.S. External Policy Council Expert Stephen Blank this week told Georgian newspaper Kviris Palitra that gas import from Russia will negatively impact Georgia-U.S. relations.
Kakha Kaladze is the General Secretary of the Georgian Dream and Mayor of Tbilisi. Is there any wonder why the field hasn't been developed with the pro-Putin stance of the GD?
There is a reasonable notion that the case could be politically ‘muted’. At this stage, disclosing this world-shattering information could be exceedingly risky for both the Georgian government and the country’s national security, while economic lucrativeness and development of the field is the second main issue.There is a reasonable notion that the case could be politically ‘muted’.

They got this bit right. Is there any surprise that if a major like BP has verified the reserves it hasn't been disclosed?
Njames - I only posted the article link for the reference to the windfall tax and the loophole for investing in new production. IMHO we're heading for Global Cooling, as were into a Grand Solar Minimum. Take a look at the link below. There's plenty of reading on the subject that I posted previously.
https://www.lse.co.uk/chat/general/general/the-man-made-global-warming-scam-BC36E2D3-47A5-45D9-A163-1D9BA45EAD60.html
If companies like BP are to pay a windfall tax, then buying Block 12 even with the current associated risk becomes a free bet. Lose the money paying windfall tax or possibly gain a huge hydrocarbon resource with BP transportation pipelines already in place? Seems like a no-brainer to me, but wtfdik!
The UK is also facing a massive expansion of oil and gas production in the North Sea, as the government has imposed a windfall tax on the industry that contains a loophole encouraging companies to invest in new production.
‘Gold rush’ for gas production threatens to lock in global heating

If executive director's were leaving a paid job to join SOLG, then they would want to be financially rewarded in case of a successful bid. Otherwise they would be leaving paid employment for a position that would be short lived. Therefore, the share incentives are essential to attract the right type of executive directors required by SOLG IMHO.
Lifeishard - IMHO it also highlights why FRR is keeping schtum. It's like a high level poker game where FRR doesn't want to give the opposition any advantage, whether actual or perceived.
IMHO if the GD ditch BI, free Mikheil Saakashvili and Nika Gvaramia, then extend the PSA with FRR, they would be fast tracked by the EU. Unfortunately, that's a lot of 'if's' but the pressure is building. Recent polls show that the Georgian people can see the country is heading in the wrong direction. Next time Uncle Sam and the EU won't take their eye off the ball and allow the election irregularities. Hopefully, more will realise like Gakharia and leave the GD before they reach the point of no return.
