  • Lobio won’t buy lobby 2010-03-10 17:17 Georgia has hired new lobbying firms in the USA. Without them Mikheil Saakashvili’s meetings with influential politicians like Barack Obama are no more possible. It seems the Georgian leader has communication problems not only with Russian leaders to whom he either sends relatives or his Armenian counterpart.
  • Taking up Nogaideli’s path 2010-03-04 13:37 Today Nino Burdzhanadze is calling on her Moscow friends she went to Moscow State Institute of International Relations with. The Ex Speaker repeated the exploit of ex PM Zurab Nogaideli who managed to settle relations with Moscow politicians unafraid to be accused of high treason last year.

  • Khloponin: three problems and four clusters 2010-03-01 23:30 North Caucasus Presidential Envoy, Vice PM Alexander Khloponin continues familiarizing himself with the region he has taken charge of. Recently he singled out three major problems in Caucasus: excessive state funding, a high level of unemployment and corruption. To change the situation the envoy’s plan is to focus on four clusters of development in Caucasus - energy, tourism, agriculture and education. How efficient will Khloponin’s methods turn out to be?
  • Tbilisi in search of money 2010-02-27 22:34 One of the theses of yesterday’s speech delivered by President of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili in the parliament goes as follows: the emigrants are returning to Georgia. The statement sounds doubtful, considering the fact that the statistics on migration is rather disputable. It is not only the Georgian experts that are talking about it; the Statistics Department does not provide any data as well. The president’s statement rather resembles an auto-training session. One of these days, the officials expressed hope to get billions of investments from their former fellow countrymen. As to Mikhail Nikolaevitch, he stated that the authorities are going to announce discounts on real estate property in order to attract the capital of the Georgian expatriate community. So far, the representatives of the construction companies do not say anything about the boom of accommodations acquisition by the former fellow countrymen.

The law is between democracy and demagogy

2009-07-08 18:11 Still, one can hardly believe in the opposition's retreat even if the new law comes into force.

In fact, the oppositional activists are not making any secret of the current summer recess being the sign of an autumn storm. At the end of July, the oppositionists intend to bring thousands of their supporters into the streets in order to show the USA Vice President Joseph Biden the scope of their dissatisfaction with the current authorities. What should Saakashvili do? He is evidently not going to meet the distinguished guest with a special purpose police unit for breaking up the demonstrators, for it will hardly speak in favour of the "democracy leader" in the post-Soviet territory, which the West regards Mikhail Nikolaevitch to be.

The fact that the future amendments will do the country an ill service and will negatively affect its image has been also underlined by expert Soso Tsiskarishvili. "Considering the current situation, I do not think that Georgia will require any more steps that will lead the country back from democracy. Our common desire is to move towards democracy, while the proposed amendments to the legislation rather resemble the steps hastily taken by the frightened authorities than a true necessity", - the GHN agency is quoting the expert.

However, either under the experts', or under the press' influence, or else, out of the self-preservation instinct, the Georgian authorities announced that they are not going to hurry on the new regulations for the protest actions, though the package of amendments to the law has been considered today by the Legal Committee of the Georgian parliament in first hearing.

This decision was confirmed by that very Head of the Legal Committee Pavel Kublashvili, who recently tried to shove the amendments through the parliament. According to GHN, perhaps, such a humiliating manner was deliberately assumed to show that they "have got no desire to listen to the opposition's screaming". According to Kublashvili, the date when the amendments are to come into force has not been agreed upon so far, thus remaining open.

Well, just like the last spring and the beginning of summer, the autumn in Georgia is evidently going to be stormy.
