Nika Gvaramia: The repressions that are now being carried out against civil servants must be eliminated together with the regime - they should not be punished for their political views under any government

The repressions that are now being carried out against civil servants must be eliminated together with the regime, - Nika Gvaramia, leader of the Coalition for Change, said after the end of an event at Expo Georgia, where the Coalition for Change presented a vision of supporting civil servants.

According to Nika Gvaramia, there are specific plans regarding civil servants, specifically - compensation, reinstatement and salary increases.

"Civil servants are the most important group that leads the country forward, towards its historical goals, leading people to prosperity, therefore, under no government, they should be punished for their political views. They have the full right to express their views in any form they choose.

We believe that the repressions that have now been carried out against civil servants must be eliminated together with the regime, and we have specific plans for this, for example, regarding compensation, which must be paid, regarding reinstatement, which must be done, and regarding the fact that civil servants must work professionally, with even higher salaries,” said Nika Gvaramia.

As part of the Coalition for Change presentation, individuals dismissed from the public sector and coalition spokespeople presented their vision to the audience - in terms of supporting civil servants and strengthening the public sector. The presentation was opened by individuals dismissed from the public sector. According to them, they were dismissed from the public sector precisely for the reason they were protecting the country’s European course.

The event was attended by representatives of civil servants, non-governmental sector, business sector, international organizations and the diplomatic corps.
