Most villagers in Northwest, Northwest Georgia, Bidzina Ivanishvili, a proud son who sees a wide range of the country.
A picture postcard where the roads are good, houses are well preserved and has many blue and yellow flags in the judge’s Georgian Dream Party.
“All this area is the area where you can see new houses and roads. There was nothing without him, and he did everything for us.”
Ivanishvili won the Georgian dream (GD) and the party has been in power for 12 years.
More than four months, Georgians took to the streets in October last year to accuse Ivanishvili’s landslide and to accuse the country to accuse the EU and Russia’s influence.
GD rejects it and you will not find anyone who has a bad word about the billionaire son in Chorvila.
Ivanishvili, in the 1990s in Russia, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, selling computers before acquiring banks and metal assets, his luck after the collapse of the Soviet Union. He returned to Georgia in 2003.
According to Temuri Kapanadze, who teaches history in the village school where Chorvila’s newly married couple, Ivanishvili boy school, received a cash present for $ 3,000 (£ 2,200).
Unlike most schools of Georgia, the village has its own pool and a closed basketball court.
“He rebuilt the hospital, built two chests, set all the ways, and all the roofs made all the roofs in the region,” he says.
“I personally received a refrigerator, television, gas stove and for five years, Mr. Bidzina helps us by paying 200 kilos (£ 55 per month).”
Here, the Supporter of the EU protests and the opposition that uses young people as “tools”.
“We also want Europe, but this is what our traditions will want,” said Resident Giorgi Burjenidze. “We are a Christian country and our traditions should be men and women should be women. President Trump thinks like us.”
Europe’s Gorgian traditions are often repeated by state ministers and pro-government media, trying to apply loyal values to the Georgian islands, such as gay rights.
Georgian dreams have also been fired on the daily protests, which decided to postpone the talks on the future membership of the country.
“Fire in the oligarchy” turned into one of the main slogans in the protests that say what people say, Bidzina Ivanishvili said.
“Currently, Georgia is managed by an oligarch with a Russian agenda,” Tamara Arveladze, who has joined the protests in the capital Tbilisi, almost every day, as Ivanishvili’s overhead effect.
“He owns everything, all the agencies and all government forces and sources. It sees the country as a private property and manages this country as if it is as if.”
Held in an event of Tamara and his girlfriend last month Caught on mobile phones and went to viral. They were driving towards the protest and they shouted the words “fire” and tried to enter the car when a number of masked police siege.
“It happened in seconds, but was felt like hours. Shocked me how aggressively I was trying, I do not know what happened.”
Tamara’s girlfriend canceled a driver’s license for a year and may encounter a detention time to swear to the police. It has been fined 3600 dollars in Georgia, because the average monthly salary is about $ 500.
Since the controversial parliamentary elections, the Georgian opposition boycotted the parliament of the Georgian opposition, the ruling Georgian dream in the rubber seal, proposed amendments to the law
“We are witnessing the operation of the law,” says Tamar Onani, Director of Human Rights Program in Georgia Young Lawyers Association.
“First, he banned his face masks and then placed the face recognition cameras in Tbilisi. Thus, it makes it easier to reveal who appears in the rally and then order high fines.”
Last month, the penalties increased tenfold to prevent the road or disobedience to the police and Tamar Oniani received 150 calls from the fined protesters in one day.
Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze rejected protesters as an “amorphous mass” and thanked them to “fill the state budget” with harsh fines.
Tamar Onani says, “The trial is fully caught” and acts as one of the tools against protesters, he says he says.
“Being a part of the protest and tortured to support Georgia’s future.”
The government denies these allegations.
The protests were launched last November last November, and hundreds of officials have criticized their decision to suspend talks with the EU and have lost their jobs after signing the applications.
“The government decided to cleanse the public sector of those who do not commit faithful workers,” he said, among those who lost their work.
The transfer of impartial reports for members of the parliament and since then the abolished Georgian Parliamentary Research Center was in high position.
“They don’t need anyone. They have their own policy and everyone who has an independent analytical capacity,” he says.
According to Nini, similar “cleaning” occurred in the Ministries and other government agencies and other government agencies: “Georgia is in the whole state sector.”
“They are trying to create another Russian satellite in this region. We see what is happening in the world, because of the South Caucasus in the Georgia and the Black Sea. And this is a larger geopolitical turn.”
Chorvila, history teacher Temuri Kapanadze sees the government’s approach to Russia very different: “There are always friends and enemies. Yesterday the enemy can be today’s friend.”
