Do you really consider Georgian society to be idiots that you feed them such lies? If strengthening the regions is a priority, is appointing Mdinaradze, who was released from the post of general-coordinator of the power structures, as coordinator of the regions the solution? - this is what Shalva Kereselidze, chairman of the parliamentary faction “Gakharia for Georgia,” writes on social media, responding to the decision to introduce the position of State Minister for Regional Policy Issues and to transfer Mamuka Mdinaradze to this post.

Kereselidze addresses “Georgian Dream,” saying that instead of this mediocre political circus carousel, they should get down to business if they really care about the regions and villages.

“Irakli Kobakhidze stated that strengthening regional policy is one of the important challenges and tasks of the state. As proof of this, he abolished the existing Ministry of Regional Development and created the position of State Minister for Regional Policy Issues in the government structure.

It is clear to everyone that ‘Dream’ is driven more by political passions than by real work, but if we set political assessments aside, I address ‘Dream’: Do you really consider Georgian society to be idiots that you feed them such lies? If strengthening the regions is a priority, instead of further strengthening the Ministry of Regional Development, giving it additional functions and correctly defining its fundamental functions - which would have been much better both for the cause and for the country - is appointing Mdinaradze, who was released from the post of general-coordinator of the power structures, as coordinator of the regions the solution?

What do you want, what are you doing to the regions, what have they done to you so wrong - perhaps explain it to us?

First, because of Liluashvili, you separated the regions and infrastructure from each other. Then the man for whom you created the ministry - you put him in prison. After that, you appointed such a cadre as the head of the regions that, from beginning to end, he could not understand the agency. And now you are completely abolishing the ministry and replacing the main general-coordinator in the government with the apparatus of the coordinator of the regions.

What kind of jinx do you have against Georgia’s regions?

Instead of this mediocre political circus carousel, get down to business if you really care about the regions, the villages, and the people. The people living in the regions do not deserve for their well-being to become your toy and political entertainment,” Shalva Kereselidze writes on Facebook.

For information, according to a statement by Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, in September the Ministry of Regional Development will be abolished and the position of State Minister for Regional Policy Issues will be created, to which Mamuka Mdinaradze will be appointed.

As for the position of State Minister for Law Enforcement Agencies, which was created three months ago and was headed by Mamuka Mdinaradze, according to Irakli Kobakhidze, the agency will be abolished by law in the first week of September, and until then it will remain vacant.
