Lasha Papashvili, First Vice President of the Georgian Business Association told BM.GE that he thinks the government is obliged not to polarize the political situation and take appropriate steps. According to Papashvili, snap election can be one of the solutions to the current situation. In addition, Papashvili notes that he cannot talk on the legal side, though it would be good if the initiative of proportional electoral system would come up with a second hearing.
"As always, I advise both sides to remain calm. I cannot promote tension increase. Of course, this has a bad effect on the economy. The volatile environment is frightens already diminished FDIs and domestic investments.
It's a political process, amendment may seem easy at the first glance, but it's not easy. In a more legal sense.
I know Kakha Okriashvili among the majoritarian PMs and I know that he has against the change from the very first day. I can't tell you about others. As it is known, Kakha Okriashvili has not been a supporter of this announcement.
There are snap elections in Britain now, and this is the solution when there is a crisis. It is the state's obligation not to confront the parties. Not to polarize citizens, politicians, society. This is a major obligation of the state. They need to find a way out from this.
I will summarize and say that the primary responsibility of the government is to avoid such polarization", said Lasha Papashvili.
