Decommunization moves forward - but disagreement about the meaning exist
The new minority government, led by the Akhali Partia and with the support of arch-rivals Hobratsuri Komunisturi Partiis and Hobratsuri Erovnuli P'rontis, recommenced the all but dormant campaign of decommunization.
"It is a small step in the wrong direction", HKP chairman Marlin Loriya said in a comment, "But it is a step nonetheless. Today, the Hobratsuri Respublica grew even colder."
The decommunization process began with the fall of the decades-long HKP government in 2308, and it came on strong. But after the initial great strides, the reform pace slowed. But both the centrists of AP and the religious-nationalist HEP remain hopeful.
"We believe that decommunization is the process of giving back to the people freedom of choice, in all aspects of their life", said premier ministri James Hayward, "From the economic point of view the AP has reintroduced the private sector in most aspects of the economy.
However, that is not a view the HEP, ardent supporters of decommunization, share.
"We do not understand by decommunization the same thing that our colleagues understand", says HEP spokesperson Giorgi Pkheidze, "For us, this process means eliminating each and every policy and attitude that originates from materialism, secularism, and, indeed, communism"
In spite of the disagreement, the decommunization process thus far has gone off without a hitch - and as long as it continues to mean a liberalization of the economy, it seems to continue in that manner.
Much to the dismay of HKP, one might add.
"Horrible", Loriya said in a debate in the Erovnuli Krebis about the two bills being introduced, "Horrible, horrible! You're selling out our people to money-hungry capitalists who care for nothing but profit!"
AP, the drafters of the bill, takes the criticism with no great worry.
"The two bills that have recently passed and have become law reintroduce the possibility for citizens to choose which provider will provide the service they require, for the internet as for higher education", Hayward concluded in his reply, "We especially feel that the education reform and the introduction of private higher level education will be able to provide a wider range of learning possibilities without decreasing the quality of education."
