New Initiative by Christian-Democrates




One of the main demands of the party of Christian-democrats was the increase of pensions for Mighty-Structure and war veterans. They demand to grow the pensions about 560GEL according to their quality of experience.
The assistant of chairman of Christian-Democrats Giorgi Axvlediani stated that the pensions are wrongly distributed. The reform about the rising pensions concerned only the people who were retired after the revolution. Unlike them pensioners retired before the revolution get only 22-30GEL. Though before the revolution they got the privilege 160-180GEL.
This problem is actual for five years and the Christian-democrats are fighting against it already for an year and a half, but the authority has never responded positively towards this problem. They consider these pensioners corrupted and legally they don’t deserve increased pensions. ,, If the authority distribute its priorities properly, there will appear enough money in the budget for pensions,” said Axvlediani. 27 percent of the budget takes military self-defense structure, while only 11 percent is spent for social problems, that must be changed in their opinion.
Christian-Democrats offer The Ministry of health Care to discuss this issue and send the request to the government to find out approximately 30- 40 million GEL to solve this problem. ,, we don’t have ambition to settle this problem immediately, It is long-term perspective and it will take about 3 -5 years,” said Axvlediani.
This statement was made on 9th of November. They are not going to stop fighting against this problem. On 10th of November at 1 pm. Political Party is organizing peaceful demonstration in front of The Ministry of Healthcare. They hope to see Minister and discuss this issue together.
The Ministry of Healthcare hasn't given any comment about the statment of the Christian-democrates yet.
