The country of Georgia has a long and difficult history. It was part of the Soviet Union, but 35 years ago, it started the process of becoming independent.
**A Hard-Won Freedom**
Shalva Papuashvili, a candidate for parliament chairman, spoke about this time in Georgia’s history. He said that the country paid a high price for its freedom. Some other countries that were also part of the Soviet Union had an easier time becoming independent. But Georgia faced many challenges and hardships.
**Celebrating Independence**
This year, Georgia celebrated 33 years since it declared its independence through a referendum. The people of Georgia voted to be free, sovereign, and independent. Since then, the country has been on a journey to become stronger and more developed.
**A Choice for the Future**
Papuashvili said that the recent parliamentary elections were like a new referendum. The people of Georgia had to choose between two paths: recklessness or wisdom, foreign identity or traditional values, subservience or independence. They chose the path of wisdom and independence, which is known as “The Georgian Dream”.
**A Call to Action**
Papuashvili called on all Georgians to unite and work together to develop their country. He said that prosperity should reach every family in Georgia. This is the dream of many Georgians: a united, strong, and independent country.
