According to businessman Kakha Khazaradze, today's fight for ratings between opposition parties should not be about how to turn the country, which is heading towards the abyss, in the right direction.
"I have a pretty big protest inside, why the unification of opposition forces failed," - said Kakha Khazaradze on BMGTV, where he himself addressed the host with a remark: "You can ask me a similar question about business - why is there no unity in business? There is no unity in business"....
- Why couldn't the opposition parties unite?
- People unite around common values...
- If we agree that the most important thing today is to return Georgia to the European path and, accordingly, change its anti-Western course, isn't this a sufficient goal for unity?
- I have a simple answer to this question - today there should be no talk about the struggle for ratings between opposition parties; but rather, [they should discuss] how to turn the country, which is heading towards the abyss, in the right direction. Every person should put aside personal ambitions - it does not matter whether he is a politician or a businessman; Temur Chkonia also noted that we are creating the history of our country's economy, we are creating families, we are creating brands in business, and why do we want a brand that does not translate into the [well-being] of the country?! Or then why do you live in this country if your life is determined by one day?! Then neither the past nor the future has any meaning... There are so many topics, which is why it is difficult for me to say what is the reason for the inability to agree on a single position.
In an interview with BMGTV, the ICR group spoke about the importance of a stable and predictable environment for business, as well as the price of loudly stating one's position in critical situations.
“In today’s situation, a different opinion is perceived as critical by the government and people are labeled with various clichés; nevertheless, I am not the kind of person who will remain silent, because silence is problematic. You may disagree with a person on something, but when they talk to you, at least you understand what answer to give... When a person is silent, it is very difficult to determine their position. Today, the entire country is shrouded in silence. The charge of protest exists internally, but nihilism has deepened - I also have a rather big protest internally against the opposition unity that failed,” said Kakha Khazaradze.
According to him, everyone should understand that first of all, we should be free people.
"As a large taxpayer, I need a stable environment because I create wealth in the country, I have financial responsibility to thousands of employees who have families, etc. But business is secondary when it comes to responsibility to one's own children and the country. Unity of values creates business, and first of all, I am a free person. My freedom is expressed in the fact that I say what I think, even though I may be wrong," says the businessman.
