"Not just village roads, but even the central highway has not been cleared. We claim that our country should be a Middle Corridor, a logistics center connecting East and West, a key transport route linking Europe and Asia and generating revenue from it, yet the main highway remains uncleared."

The leader of Strategy Aghmashenebeli, Giorgi Vashadze, made this statement during his appearance on PalitraNews' 360 Degrees, discussing the situation in western Georgia.

Vashadze accused Georgian Dream of indifference.

He explained that crisis management should be based on systematic documents that define response mechanisms—outlining what needs to happen and who should perform which function during a crisis.

"I accuse 'Georgian Dream' of indifference. These are people who only care about their offices, staying in power, and clinging to authority. If it were a protest, they would have mobilized the police and special forces in no time, bringing in units from Batumi, Zugdidi, and Gori. If it were about protecting their own seats in parliament, they would have deployed all their heavy machinery. How much new equipment have they bought just to protect themselves? Yet, when it's about the people and their interests, they do nothing.

If you call yourself the Prime Minister, how can you sit back and do nothing? On the same day that people were trapped in the snow, this person was attacking the EU ambassador. He had time for that, but not for the people suffering in distress.

Not just village roads, but even the central highway is not cleared. We claim that Georgia should be a Middle Corridor, a logistics hub connecting East and West, with a major transport route linking Europe and Asia to generate income for the country—yet the road was left uncleared.

At some point, shouldn't we start listening to professionals in this country? Crisis management is not about saying, 'I expected it' or 'I didn't expect it.' It requires systematic documents outlining response mechanisms—what should happen, who should perform which function, the role of local governments, the Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure, the Prime Minister, and those responsible for heavy machinery. Every individual accountable for such equipment should have clear guidelines on what to do in these situations.

Even if there was no prior forecast, the system should have been activated instantly to help people. But we live in a country where corruption has consumed everything," Vashadze stated.
