Chairman of Lelo Mamuka Khazaradze released a video with a message addressing the business sector. He called on all the business owners, regardless the size of their businesses, whether it is large or medium, to come together and create an employment platform to create employment opportunities especially for young people, to avoid the departure of Georgian citizens to seek better opportunities abroad.
According to him, it is also necessary to support the ideas that young people have and to create a special fund for startups.
"The age-old dream of our enemies "Georgia without Georgians" is coming to fruition. Tens of thousands of Russians are entering Georgia, and at the same time, 100,000 Georgians have already left the country, and more than a hundred thousand are preparing to leave. For a small country like Georgia, this is a disaster!
The legislative initiative of Lelo to establish a visa regime is blocked due to the vassal policy of Georgian Dream and thus the process of replacing our citizens with other people is going on.
I don't want to see Georgia without Georgians and I will do everything to prevent it from happening. I have an idea that I would like to share with you: I call on all businesses - large and medium-sized - to create a single employment platform to anchor our citizens and especially the youth.
It is also necessary to support the ideas that young people have and to create a special fund for startups. With these and other similar steps, we will give great encouragement and hope to people who are ready to leave.
I call this to you businessmen because you are the force that creates real jobs, fills the budget of the country, those who can do it.
One thing I want to tell everyone - there is always a solution and if we don't take this step now, tomorrow will be too late. This is a vital national issue for the country and I urge everyone not to sacrifice our citizens for perennial and eternal emigration.
Finally, running away is not a solution - if we all leave, others will have the country, others will have our house, yard, street, village, city, let's not leave Georgia to others. Let's act! Together we can do everything," Mamuka Khazaradze said.
