Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said recently there will be no elections in the next three years, as the political situation has largely stabilised in the country, adding that it is now time to work, and that the government must help Georgian citizens as much as possible.
Garibashvili also noted that the main task of the government this year will be to create new jobs.
Our [the government’s] main task is to reduce poverty and create new jobs... We will create tens of thousands of new jobs for Georgian citizens and reduce poverty. This should be the main concern of the government this year,” Garibashvili said.
The PM also said that the government has already begun working on the creation of public sector jobs.
Garibashvili announced in November 2021 an initiative which aims to provide jobs for socially vulnerable citizens who are fit to work instead of receiving social assistance.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili stated earlier today that the Georgian government has ‘significantly improved key fiscal parameters’ due to rapid economic recovery, adding that the Georgian government will make a decision this week which will ‘significantly reduce the cost of medicines.'
Georgian PM Irakli Garibashvili spoke at length about his cabinet’s plan to launch new social programmes to address unemployment and the cost of medications in the country during an interview on TV channel Imedi.
The evaluations of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe’s Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights and the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe on electoral amendments implemented by Georgian authorities with the goal of gaining the European Union membership candidate status are “clearly positive”, Givi Mikanadze, a ruling Georgian Dream party MP, said on Monday.
The ruling Georgian Dream party on Wednesday nominated candidates for the April 29 midterm elections for the member of the Parliament for the country’s western Poti, Senaki and Khobi constituency, and two mayors in Tsageri and Terjola municipalities.
