Paata Manjgaladze: It's true that mourning and silence are appropriate for a tragedy, but silence is not appropriate for a crime - silence during a crime is complicity in the crime

It's true that mourning and silence are appropriate for a tragedy, but silence is not appropriate for a crime - silence during a crime is complicity in the crime, Strategy Builder MP Paata Manjgaladze said while talking about the Shovi tragedy.

According to Manjgaladze, there are unanswered questions in the society regarding the incident, but what the government is interested in now is only evading its own responsibility.

In his own estimation, the conclusion of the National Environment Agency on the Shovi disaster is an attempt to justify the political statement of Georgian Dream.

"They are creating such a reality that no representative of the government will be held accountable. I would call it an attempt to cover them up.

I am not a specialist and this should not be a matter of political speculation, but as a citizen I also have a question that when it comes to 1 million cubic meters of water, if there was a glacier and ice, how did the ice turn into such a large mass of water in 8 minutes? If there was a system that predicts landslides and identifies moving landslides or mudslides, why wasn't 8 minutes enough to pass the 100 meters in the valley? It is not clear why a person could not leave the cottage in 5-8 minutes. Why were there no early warning systems in Shovi, which is assessed as a high-risk area by the Ministry itself?

These are the questions that citizens ask, and the answer that we have a political interest is unacceptable.

It turns out that leaving people in the wild, stone age is not immorality, but talking about this problem is immorality", said Paata Manjgaladze.
