Კომენტარი Komentari

Analytical platform Komentari unites a team of professionals that provides public with critical vision on the processes in Georgia and abroad. Our function is to increase accessibility to knowledge, share professional and impartial opinions to public and protect citizen interests in public political processes. For this reason, we establish a new, special platform for unity that will try to make a change in the life of Georgian public. Today, political processes do not respond to the needs of the society; There is virtually never a "right" time to think carefully and conscientiously about public issues, because political polarisation and a constant ordeal of crisis deprive the professionals of the opportunity to disseminate real information, as well as important knowledge and opinions. We are concerned that: • Polarisation empties processes from political content and eats away anything rational. For this reason, alternative opinions are practically banished from the discussion space and everyone who does not tolerate mainstream political taste and ideas becomes exile; • Radical ultranationalist forces or political groups try to benefit from this environment and increase their electorates. They provide public with pseudo solutions to fundamental issues. Their approach is mostly based on denial of human rights and sovereignty of the country; • Public engagements among leaders become a field for insolent, personal confrontations. Mainstream discussions in the parliament, media or internet are held on falsely important topics; • Issues that concern citizens and hinder advancement of Georgian democracy are left beyond the attention whether they involve social-economic-cultural policy or those related to the public institutions; • Important part of the Georgian population is isolated from the diverse knowledge and discussion of the modern world.
