While Kutaisi shivers Saakashvili's regime throws money at Tbilisi in election panic

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly versionSend to friendSend to friendPDF versionPDF version

In a further sign of its electoral panic over Tbilisi and its abandonment of Kutaisi - the city where it seems the president dare not go - the government gave Tbilisi mayor another 18 million Georgian Lari (about $11 million) bung to wipe out debts for gas and cleaning bills in the capital.

The write off ends - handily enough - on 31 May: the last day elections for the mayor of Tbilisi must be held.

In the meantime people who protest in Georgia's second city that they have no gas at all in the middle of winter are told that it is not a matter for the government.

The only thing that seems to matter for the government is saving the hide of Gigi Ugulava in next year's election.
