"I hope that rational sense will prevail," - Beka Natsvlishvili will take decision on leaving the party today

Today, at the session it will be clear whether Beka Natsvlishvili will leave the majority.
The MPs are to vote for Natsvlishvili"s initiative on pension reform. Staying in his majority depends on the support of the bill. If the document fails, the member of the faction "Georgian Dream - Socialists" will continue as an independent MP. According to Beka Natsvlishvili, his draft law will have a proportionally increased pension for low-income citizens.
"It is difficult to talk about the outcomes, but I still hope that the good sense will win and we will make a decision that will push the pension reform.
" If I do not have support as it was 4-5 months ago, as I have already said, I will leave the majority, I will leave the party and leave the fraction. And I am going to continue as a independent MP,"- says Beka Natsvlishvili.
The majority say that the decision to leave the party or faction is made by all individually. As regards the legislative initiative, the management team does not have the expectation of adopting it.
"Given the fact that most of the committees did not support the implementation of this initiative, it is expected that this initiative will not take place," said Akaki Zoidze.
The project is not supported by the opposition. The "National Movement" explains that Beka Natsvlishvili"s project is filled with leftist ideas.
"His principled and moral step is welcomed, but we can not support the option proposed by him, because it is saturated with very left-wing ideas," says Roman Gotsiridze.
In the "European Georgia", Natsvlishvili"s initiative is the recognition that the Georgian Dream"s law on the accumulated pension is ineffective.
