During a speech at the regional event of the Georgian Dream election campaign in Rustavi, Bidzina Ivanishvili, honorary chairman of Georgian Dream, emphasized that voting for the party on October 26 guarantees that no one will be able to drag Georgia into war and that war criminals will face severe punishment.
"We laid the foundation for building a country based on democracy, rule of law and respect for human dignity. We have strengthened the judiciary and the prosecutor's office, the media is independent, business is untouchable. Consequently, people breathe freely and no one has any fear of political persecution.
After coming to power, we organized and developed infrastructure in Kvemo Kartli. With state programs tailored to the interests of the population, we revived agriculture that had declined during the previous government, and opened the way for our peasants and farmers to the previously closed markets. We have taken important steps towards strengthening the energy independence of our country, in which direction many investments were made in Kvemo Kartli.
We have forever passed the time when the regime of the "National Movement" perceived the representatives of ethnic minorities as second-class citizens and they were mentioned only during the elections. Today, the starting point of the state is a person! Every citizen of Georgia, regardless of his ethnic or religious affiliation, is equal and fully enjoys all the privileges that the state offers to citizens.
In 2012, unemployment, poverty and extreme hardship reigned in Rustavi, which was once inhabited by working people. Then we promised the people of Rustavi that we would restore your dignity, we would exploit the industrial potential of this city as much as possible, and we would do everything to ensure that the factories and enterprises located in Rustavi were operated at full capacity. I am glad that we fulfilled this promise and a lot of things will be done in this direction in the future", - Bidzina Ivanishvili said.
