Democratic Movement – United  Georgia, based on the analysis of the current circumstances, announces its anti-crises political programme. It implies coordinated actions of party’s political leadership, its members and supporters.

”Democracy today!”
Envisages the following political actions:

Struggle for public freedoms – the chief goal of today, is the restoration of the rights for freedom of expression provided and secured by the Constitution.  Media should be freed from State ideological pressure, all incidents of personal oppression and suppression should be recorded and prevented – this is today’s major objective.

Hence:

We will continue our struggle both within the country and abroad, to compel the Government to free media. At the same time, while the media is controlled, we will set up constant communication system with our members. Each of you will systematically receive our brief updates on the situation in the country. You will know the truth and will be able to tell this truth to people. By means of this system and your efforts, we will be able to silence the machine of lies, which is actively operating through the State controlled media. Each of you will become the source of truth, which will tell the truth to family, friends and neighbors. 

We will vigorously react on illegal wiretapping, shadowing, as well as violation of the rights of expression and violence from the side of the Government.

Civil society– with the aim of institutionally supporting civil organizations and NGOs, we will facilitate public initiatives, inclusion of NGOs in the implementation of our political program and in shaping of the system for cooperation.  

Against the backdrop of global economic crises and outcomes of the Russian aggression, it has become evident, that the country requires European type economic policy, based on the principles of economic security. The political party will appoint a Business Ombudsman to protect businesses from legal shortcomings and direct pressures from the Government. Business Ombudsman will systematically produce public reports on the work conducted. 

We will develop and present you the approach for restoring the country’s territorial integrity, as well as action plan for renewing dialogue and reconciliation with the Abkhazian and Ossetian people.

The political party will establish business relations with likeminded political organizations abroad and cooperate with them to obtain their support for the development of democratic processes in our country, and protection of its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
