the Situation before the next parliamentary elections in Georgia at present it is possible to characterize as confusion. The ruling coalition "Georgian dream" not only breaks up to separate components, but it is covered gradually by internal conflicts between once actively protecting each other and "the general ideas" members, and all appear contradictions between supporters "westernized" and "pro-North-east" (the pro-Russian more clearly? ) orientations.

Originally the conflict arose between "industrialists" and "republicans" because of the unflattering remarks made by the party leader of "Industrialists" of Gogi Topadze to the Minister of Defence, the member of Republican Party Tinatin Hidasheli. Topadze accused Hidasheli of assistance of falsification of intermediate parliamentary elections in Sagaredzho, on what the leaders of the Republican Party who have accused the leader of "Industrialists" of carrying out in Georgia of interests of Russia at once responded.

Gradual disintegration in the coalition led p to that the parties one which were its part for another "made the decision" independent participation in the upcoming elections. After Republican Party and "A national forum" participation independent of other parties in elections was declared also by the party leaders "The Georgian Dream — Democratic Georgia".

the republicans who have Separated from the coalition everything became more courageous to make "independent" statements and to give "own" estimates to processes proceeding in the country. to

sharper concerning the former colleagues on the coalition also. In the beginning the deputy Tamaz Mechiauri was up in arms against republicans who in the conditions of the broken territorial integrity of Georgia opposed the entry of the country into NATO and criticized the Minister of Defence for carrying out in vicinities of Tbilisi of the Georgian-American doctrines "Worthy Partner". The deputy stated fears that these doctrines will lead to even bigger strain of relations with Russia and to succession of events according to the scenario of 2008. Mechiauri noticed that those politicians who waiting for danger take away the children from the country call the population of Georgia for fight against the northern neighbor. Tinatin Hidasheli and this remark apprehended into the account and through social networks urged the deputy to specify where exactly she sent the children.

On Mechiauri's statements except brothers deputies Levan and David Berdzenishvili, the republican minister — the state minister concerning reconciliation and civil equality Paata Zakareishvili responded. He noticed that Tamaz Mechiauri's more statements surprise him silence of the prime minister Georgy Kvirikashvili. The prime minister was not slow to specify to Paata Zakareishvili that that as the member of the government should not criticize the ruling force and if holds other opinion, can make the relevant decision.

of the Critic of the prime minister caused in the society of the assumption that in the government there can be changes as a result of which republican ministers will be dismissed, but Georgy Kvirikashvili answered strong all questions of journalists that at this stage of changes in the cabinet is not planned. He also noticed that the country will soon enter the pre-election period, and during this period of change are not excluded.

Opposition between for the present colleagues on ruling coalition continues to accrue, and after Tamaz Mechiauri republicans the vice speaker of parliament, the member of "The Georgian dream" criticizes already Manan Kobakhidze's . Tamaza Mechiauri for his obviously anti-western statements Manana Kobakhidze answered appeals of leaders of Republican Party to dismiss from "The Georgian Dream — Democratic Georgia" party that she prefers to Russia NATO, but Berdzenishvili's brothers are preferred by Tamaza Mechiauri.

It is the remark revolted with Levan Berdzenishvili's , and he declared that Manana Kobakhidze in general takes in parliament not the place. According to him, Kobakhidze "the quite good woman, warm, well-mannered", but does not correspond to a position of the vice speaker and no sufficient qualification for this purpose has.

of Colleagues are lost also itself "By the Georgian dream — Democratic Georgia". Ranks of based of Bidzina Ivanishvilya parties were left by the member of its political council Armaz Akhvlediani . The main reason of the decision he called non-performance by "The Georgian dream" the main promise, made to the people before elections of 2012.

In his opinion, the party which came to the power under justice and progress banners, became the factor constraining development of the country. In this Akhvlediani sees fault of specific politicians from whom "The Georgian dream" did not manage to be exempted.

"On the one hand, "The Georgian dream" did not manage to be exempted from politicians who disturbed transfer of party on democratic rails, and on the other hand, did not open the doors that promoted this process and by that lagged behind the public and state agenda" — Akhvlediani noted.

it is not excluded that "The Georgian dream" nevertheless will be exempted from those her members who openly oppose integration with EU and NATO. The prime minister Georgy Kvirikashvili already declared that in team there are no those who doubts the foreign policy chosen by the government.

on May 14 "The Georgian dream — Democratic Georgia" carries out the next congress and is going to present on it to society of the new members. It is known that Bidzin Ivanishvili's former prime ministers and are invited to this congress Irakli Garibashvili . Bidzina Ivanishvili is not going to come back to policy, and in electoral lists of his party will not be, but he promises to join in election campaign actively. However, the founder of party will participate in what form in it, it is not known yet. Are not disclosed at this stage and political plans of Irakli Garibashvili who in stay on a post of the prime minister managed to sew opponents in the person of politicians and representatives of mass media.

At congress which will take place in Tbilisi Sports palace on May 14 in the evening, Georgy Kvirikashvili will be officially elected the chairman of the party. Delegates will claim and the updated part of political council of party which among other leaders of "The Georgian dream" the former leader of the parliamentary majority David Saganelidze who left the deputy mandate several months ago will be also and accepted the management of the Partner fund founded at the initiative of Ivanishvili.

At congress to society will present also new party members, including the former chairman of Association of young lawyers Tamar Chugoshvili , the clubman "That? Where? When? " Lash Kiladze's and the businessman David Koguashvili , were reported from the sources in pro-power party by the Rezonansi newspaper.

While one of ruling parties of Georgia carries out shifts and updating of the ranks, in political arena of the country there was a new political organization. Known in Georgia and far beyond its limits Paat Burchuladze's opera singer declared arrival to policy and establishment of the political movement "The State for the People".

it is possible, to Paata Burchuladze prescribed that role of "the new force" and "the new person" which have to update and recover definitely political life in Georgia in the run-up to the upcoming elections.

Not without reason the singer soon after the first statement for possible arrival to policy and the basis of "Fund of development of Georgia" visited the USA and the countries were carried out by a number of meetings with representatives of legislature, leaders of political parties, businessmen.

by

For the period which has passed after the basis of fund and up to the announcement of creation of the movement "The State for the People", Paat Burchuladze were made by a number of critical remarks to the present government, stated "own, excellent from pro-imperious" a position on a number of the vital issues. The critic in statements Burchuladze and his newly appeared colleagues gradually with approach of date of elections gathers new turns.

"We will fight for that the country once and for all stopped movement on the bewitched 25-year circle when the policy was really characterized by hatred when forces which have come to the power punished representatives of the former authorities and divided the countries into patriots and traitors, personal and others', enemies of the country, satellites, agents. We will manage to transfer the country to that orbit in which it will pass to a new stage of development" — promise today to Burchuladze's people and his adherents.

Should note

that, despite such criticism, representatives of the present and former authorities apprehended appearance of the former singer in policy quietly. To it colleagues of Mikheil Saakashvili who so actively applied this label to Bidzina Ivanishvili do not attribute labels of "the pro-Russian force".

However, some representatives of Georgian Dream party, including notorious Tamaz Mechiauri, and also the executive secretary of party Irakli Kobakhidze assumed that Burchuladze and his future party, most likely, are satellites "Uniform national movement". they found p

of Basis for such assumptions in Burchuladze's statement for arrival to policy where it critically responds about the present power and at the same time claims that in case of its victory on elections it leaves in public service of those talented and hardworking people who within the previous 25 years created, built, carried out real reforms.

the Reason for idle talks concerning communications with END was given also by Paata Burchuladze's visit to Odessa where it gave a concert several months ago and met the governor Mikheil Saakashvili. Not meney the main leaders of "The Georgian dream" do not oppose as that political activity of the singer.

the Prime minister Georgy Kvirikashvili, making comments on Burchuladze's arrival to policy, declared that than will be players in political arena before the elections more, especially the selective environment will be competitive.

Are constrained in estimates of future political activity of Paata Burchuladze and leaders of other, opposition parties. So, the representative "New right" Mamuka Katsitadze devoted to appearance of the singer in policy a special briefing and declared that the fact of arrival of Burchuladze in policy did not surprise him. He wished the newly appeared politician of success and noted that to be the good doctor, the singer or the businessman — does not mean yet to be the good politician. "I wish it that it did not happen so that the opera will lose the personality, and the policy will not get it" — Katsitadze declared.

of Faithful and devoted members gradually "loses" and "Uniform national movement". After Zurab Dzhaparidze and his adherents who have created new party "Girchi", END were left also by Georgy Vashadze who also declared intention of creation of the party and independent participation in elections. Apparently, the END team chose "updating" tactics by "division".

To elections in Georgia still had less than five months. What else political experiments and innovations expect the country? What methods will approve even more "indicative" for all region the Georgian democracy?
