Prime Minister Of Georgia Exposes U.S. Regime Change Attempt
In the April 18 I had mentioned a recent color revolution attempt in Georgia:
U.S./EU Lobby Against Georgian Law That Would Reveal Their Secret Influence
Those organization who currently receive money from the various U.S. or EU government or non-government organizations are of course not amused that they will have to reveal their association with such sources. They want to lobby for foreign positions without being identified as foreign influencers.They have therefore launched protests against their country's government and parliament which has passed the law in the first reading. Two further readings will be required to finalize the law.
The protesters against the law claim that it is a "Russian law" against "foreign agents".
...
However neither is the law "Russian style" - it is a copy of FARA - nor does the law include the loaded word "agent". It does not accuse anyone of being such but seeks public transparency over foreign financial influences which would of course also include Russian ones.
Despite violent protests by the usual suspects the relevant bill has passed its second reading in the Georgian parliament. A third and final reading is expected in the mid of May.
The 'NGO' complex of U.S./EU regime change organizations in Georgia is enormous:
Lord Bebo @MyLordBebo - 8:20 UTC · May 3, 2024🇬🇪 “Georgia has one of the highest amount of NGOs per capita!
- 20,000 NGOs are active in Georgia!
- 1 NGO per 148 citizens!
- 90% get their funding from foreign countries!”
-> He is not pro Russia, he is pro Georgia and the protesters are pro money!
-> BBC interview with Nikoloz Samkharadze, Chair, Foreign Relations Committee, Parliament of Georgia (vid)
The current government of Georgia has a solid majority and obviously knows what is happening in its country.
It has rejected a recent - conditional - invitation to the U.S.:
The Government of Georgia has declined an invitation from the US to discuss strategic partnership and assistance, reports Ekho Kavkazu.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia confirmed receiving the invitation from the Prime Minister. However, before the visit, parliament was supposed to temporarily suspend consideration of the bill On Transparency of Foreign Influence.
Well, the parliament did not do so.
Now witness this very public slap-in-the face which Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze is handing out to Derek H. Chollet, the Counselor of the U.S. State Department:
Irakli Kobakhidze @PM_Kobakhidze - 8:13 UTC · May 3, 2024Spoke to @CounselorDOS and expressed my sincere disappointment with the two revolution attempts of 2020-2023 supported by the former US Ambassador and those carried out through NGOs financed from external sources. Had these attempts been successful, the second front line would have been opened in Georgia.
Besides, I explained to Mr. Chollet that false statements made by the officials of the US State Department about the transparency bill and street rallies remind us of similar false statements made by the former US Ambassador in 2020-2023, which served to the facilitation of violence from foreign funded actors and to the support of revolutionary processes back then.
Also, I clarified to Mr. Chollet that it requires a special effort to restart the relations against this background, which is impossible without a fair and honest approach.
I have not expressed my concerns with Mr. Chollet about a brutal crackdown of the students' protest rally in New York City.
It is rare to see a small power like Georgia publicly exposing U.S. mischief like this.

World has certainly changed.
But is this the genuine attempt at a control of power by a US backed group now ready to achieve that?
Or is this the kind of limited set of fireworks long before they are ready?
Like Hong Kong 2019 where there was little popular support and the whole thing was designed to persuade Taiwan from voting for the alternate less aggressively anti-China party in the Jan 2020 elections. Since then the chief protesters have been given UK or US visas and "revolution" has disappeared forever from HK.
Or like Belarus 2021 which also turned out to be a big failure except in the words of western media and all remaining protest leaders are exiled or imprison. The fireworks were to prepare the media for Ukraine 2022.
I suspect it is the HK/Belarus kind, Fara will put an end to US plans anyway so lets go out with a bang (so a media story not a real revolt).

Thanks to you and B to raise that issue.
What is the business of the UN to ask Georgia not to pass a bill whose result will be to expose foreign influence in the internal affairs of Georgia. The chart of the UN asks of member countries not to interfere in other's internal affairs and that implies that each country is entitled to track the sources of financing coming from abroad in order to enforce the country's political independence.
As for the US and the EU they act as I expect them to act: bullying, disibformation, use of violent proxies and a large lot of hypocrisy.
I hope that the Georgians are better informed on the actual goals of Washington and Brussel in foreign affairs than the average American wants to be.

We may assume the third and final reading for this legislation (regulating the activities of NGOs and compelling them to open their books for public scrutiny and be honest as to the sources of their funding) will be a formality, and the bill will be passed and become law.
No doubt the various NGOs already know the bill will be passed, and are preparing to escalate their protests to demand the resignation of the government and fresh elections. The Georgian govt should be looking at increasing security around its politicians, their staff and the parliament buildings. Hotels and other buildings known to be used by NGOs in the vicinity should be monitored if this is possible, and any new arrivals of foreigners from countries that are not expected at this time of the year in Georgia should be noted, particularly if those foreigners are from countries currently at war or known to be active in the black market with regards to weapons and ammunition.
BTW, one hopes Mikheil Saakashvili is still in jail and away from all the NGO activity. He certainly should not have any access to the Internet at this time, and his communications with people other than his sons and lawyers should be under scrutiny.

You know what prevent and cured foreign influence in Georgia ? The ComirSaakashvili in two doses (+ 1 booster against the Ukraine variant).
We're seeing the same turn of event in many African nations this last decade with foreign backed "elected officials" being ousted from a lot of countries. Central Asia seems to take slowly the same path RN.

Thanks b. Always good to remember how these operations are run. Karl had a good piece a few days ago about a recently declassified top secret document titled“Policy Analysis Paper, State Department Policy Planning Staff/Council, Subject: The Inauguration of Organized Political Warfare, 30 April 1948, [Top Secret]”. A copy of the document is linked. Funny enough, there are some negative comments about Zionists in it! I missed that the first time. Worth a read.

@4 >>What is the business of the UN to ask Georgia not to pass a bill whose result will be to expose foreign influence...
Local governments compete with the UN for power. Thus it is self interest for the UN to want weak local governments.
As for myself, the high hopes for globalism has turned out to be a curse. Georgia would be well rid of foreign influence. If I were a local, I would see it as an urgent matter.

I wish the good guys would do things in a way that is a little smarter. They should write a little anti Russian stuff in the bill, and thus make it tougher to object to it. And if it doesn't really work against Russian interests in any important way, the Russians wouldn't mind.

Another small nation slaps the US again. Russian troops have now entered the US base in Niger!
The US clearly thought that they could push Niger around like they have done in Iraq by ignoring the government's request to leave and use delaying tactics. Now the Nigerien government has forced their hand.

Thanks for the update, b! The Outlaw US Empire will continue to use all its tools until they're blunted by law and its enforcement. The irony of course is the Empire has the strongest such law. IMO, the Global Majority need to enact mirror versions of that law to provide basic security. And then there's the telecom and IT issues where all nations wanting to be freed from Empire prying need to overhaul those systems by ridding themselves of Western tech that's proven to facilitate spying and cyber attacks. China has a great headstart, but Russia with its new quantum communication system will also have something to offer.
Well, well, coups d'etat failing all over the place! Trump failed in Venezuela and Biden fails in Georgia!
May no regime change attempt ever succeed again!

The unmasking may have been slow, but it has picked up speed and become steady. Good. NGOs are foreign slush funds to buy one's national sovereignty away through the illusion of "democracy". Just a reminder for any delusional people out there. :)

You remind us that the US arrogance over Iraq-from 1990 on- reflected the Soviet Union's withdrawal from international affairs. That has been the story ever since. And has also coincided with the modern era of Israeli arrogance and ultra racism.
The demise of the Soviet Union took any pressure to behave with restraint and propriety off the United States. In one sense, as the current situation in Palestine shows, the outcomes have been positive: unrestrained by Soviet power the US ruling class has been set free to do what it really wants. And, as the world now realises, that means acting without regard for the interests of others, including the mass of Americans.
Like a dog which has lost its master the United States has run wild and enormously accelerated its decline. The Empire which was destined to fade away over an extended period has been corrupted by hubris so quickly that it, like Israel, is unlikely to make it to 2030.
And that applies, thanks again to the refusal of Washington to listen to advice or counsel from its 'allies', to Europe too.
There is a sense in which it seems clear that the real mission of the Soviet system- the defeat of imperialism- was greatly advanced by the collapse of the USSR which had served as a buttress keeping the Empire erect in an era in which its capitalist foundations were crumbling away.

Georgia had 0,3% trade with the EU- still EU are trying to seduce them!
If we go back a year
And this is what the US/EU wants from the poor Georgians:
No to sanctions
During this speech, Garibashvili confirmed that Georgia's economy would "collapse" if his government imposed direct sanctions on Russia.
"Georgia's economy will collapse, we will harm our people if we introduce such bilateral economic sanctions against Russia. The EU trades as much with Russia in just four days as we do in a whole year. It's funny, isn't it? The share of turnover is 0.3 percent, there is no logic in it," he pointed out.
"Georgia supports Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, but will not impose direct restrictions on Russia," Garibashvili added.

One year ago in Moldova who has not introduced FARA law's:
“Being one of the countries most affected by the consequences of Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, we are witnessing increased and continued attempts to destabilize Moldova. The new sanctions regime will give us the opportunity to continue to strengthen Moldova’s resilience by targeting those who try to destabilize the country. This is an important political signal of EU support for Moldova in the current difficult context,” said Borrell.
Thanks to this new framework, the EU will be able to target, for example, individuals who obstruct or undermine the democratic political process or who attempt to overthrow the constitutional order, including through acts of violence. Future restrictive measures could also target individuals who commit serious financial irregularities regarding public funds and unauthorized export of capital, to the extent that they could take control of the state authorities’ activities. Also, sanctions will entail asset freezing and a ban on making funds available to individuals and entities, and a travel ban to the EU for individuals, according to the European Council’s press release.
They are erasing Moldovian language, replacing it with Romanian, Outlaw use of Russian, blocking free elections in russianspeaking Transnistria and GagaZua provinces...... imposing bordertaxes of 25% in their own land....and on and on

You will see the guy used to work for Soros (Open Society Georgia) and various other NGO's (USAID ...) before going into politics. So I'm absolutely sure he knows 100% what he's talking about.

Karlofs 1948 document. Proves many things.
About the UN it shows it was only a mask for the US and hence the Collective West.
Shows therefore the UN was a sham to involve USSR and China as a means of keeping the ‘enemy close’.
Shows therefore that many actions of the UN such as the legitimisation of the Apartheid Entity in the Levant was a con. As many of the Imperialist Colonies were supported by that duplicitous from birth UN.
Shows that the UN was always under the direct control, financially and by having access to all the representatives in New York where they cold easily be persuaded with bribes, blackmail and threats.
One other thing that becomes glaringly obvious is that since the 1948 there must have been many such ‘secret’ plans and documents inter alia the endless cops, assassinations, interference with political candidates, and every manner of subterfuge to enable fascism to win - where it had been beaten - specifically USSR and Europe.
Everywhere else that fascism has progressed unfettered under the duplicitous mask of democracy and National Security laws - that includes the various 5 eyes, conquered Japan, Philippines, some other Asian countries, the Banana republics and the old colonies.
Of which I don’t give the commonwealth nations much agency especially the subcontinent of Nehru and Jinna.
Not forgetting the Middle Eastern and other Oiligarchies with their wholly imposed and supported by British, French and the Illegal Entity’s establishments - stretching all the way from Lagos to Brunei
The first not time the UN tried to have some independence it’s SG was blown out of the sky.
Throughout that whole period the only resistance to the hegemony was the Russians under Stalin and when Mao intervened.
Ps I am pretty certain the only reason Julian Assange has been put in the Iron Mask in the deepest Dungeon of the Tower of London is because he must have had access to much more of the ‘secret’ plans and they know it - hence he is not allowed to communicate with anyone privately.

It's fascinating to watch the US political establishment flail about like a methamphetamine-fuelled maniac trying to maintain the country's topmost position in the formerly preeminent and now dying global master-slave hierarchy. So much reactive thinking on the part of the United-States-led Zionazi empire. When Georgia of all countries tells the US to go fuck itself, everyone knows it's over.

It mainly proves they were newbies at the game, even accepting that they had been had by communists and ZIONIST (page 4)
And it was not the true passing of the US to the dark side, may I remind you of Eisenhower's speech a dozen years later warning of the MIC?
I will agree that later there are probably tons of damning documents and actions, but things were not too bad back then.

There is plenty of history of the Nazi backers and future cia head boys running the show out of Switzerland well before the inevitable end of the proxy Nazis.
The idea the Great Gamers were naive is to underestimate the imperial grandees and adventurers who were very good at what they were doing going back many generations. universities and mass media and entertainment are all built around it. Mackinder for instance.
There is NOTHING new under the sun and history of humanity. It is history it repeats. They even have great books and films about it for those who don’t want to do the actual history.

You are too kind. It was a bit muddled at the end. What I meant to say was that the US has become so intoleratn that it will no longer countenance thev likes of those in Europe (France and Germany) in 2003 who tried to give them sensible advice, advice that would have spared them lots of blood and treasure.
Instead they looked at Tony Blair and told themselves that it wouldn't take much to have one of him in every country in Europe.
So rather than encouraging their 'allies' to contribute the fruits of centuries of experience and local knowledge they installed, one after another the likes of the current shower all over the EU, it began with Hollande and Merkel and went downhill from there.
Right now Washington is an echo chamber, totally unaware of what is happening around it, in the world, in the USA, in the streets of Washington.
They honestly believe, insofar as one can talk of belief among careerists and opportunists, their own putrid propaganda. Such people, like Hitler, are doomed.

American Protest "Logic" for Dummies:
-Anti-Zionist Genocide protestors in the USA are evil and must be ended with militarized police repression from New York to the Midwest to California.
-Anti-Foreign Agents Bill protestors in Georgia are good and must be supported with political, diplomatic, and media tongue baths--and likely covert funding.
In order words, protests that resist American (and Zionist) power are evil.
Protests that expand American (and Zionist) power are good.
So-called "Democracy and Freedom" are the ultimate deceptions that America and its crime partners instinctively manipulate and weaponize....

Someone posted a comment on that thread praising Ike's speech which I then destroyed by calling attention to the fact that Ike BUILT the damn thing when he should have weighed everything that was happening and conclude that the MIC would lead to the fascism we now experience. There's another explanation: Ike didn't want to know what was happening and chose to play golf instead, leaving things to Nixon who was Veep for the whole eight years. JFK's Missile Gap lie and a few other fine points of corruption got him elected--Nixon couldn't respond without disclosing classified info that the US had more, and JFK knew that. The stated need in 1996 for a New Pearl Harbor reflected the elite desire to replicate the fascist moves of the Cold War which had supposedly ended in 1991. The House's new Anti-Semitism Unconstitutional BS is yet more of the same. And yes, it's very possible this year's UNGA Debates will be the last in New York.
At this point, the Color Revolutions are getting absurd. As we say in the US, they have jumped the shark.
Seriously? Violent protests against openness and transparency in NGOs? People are rioting to stay in the dark? What do the signs say? "We want to remain ignorant!"?
Come on, man!

at the link, karloft wrote that the de-classified document indicated that pledges to uphold Constitution were violated,
"So, beyond mere lawbreaking, we have evidence of conspiratorial treason."
There are actions to prosecute crimes of treason, and dire consequences for same.
imo the Legislation that Mike Johnson was so keen to vote into law, legislation that preferences a select group and violates basic Constitutional guarantees, should be some kind of actionable trespass against the rights of the People.
I'm no lawyer, so I looked to see if Jonathan Turley had anything to say about the AAA legislation.

Shashmaran @ 28:
Kobakhadze's career as a legal scholar and politician most likely would not have advanced beyond local village council politics if he had not travelled and worked in Europe and North America, and worked in a Soros-funded organisation, himself.
Likewise, to know and understand the role of NGOs in subverting Georgian politics (and the politics of other nations), and to know their worldview, vulnerabilities and weaknesses, you probably need to be an insider, long-term. But Kobakhidze could still have easily become no more than a functionary in such organisations and an equally conformist Soros follower in politics - most people would have been, with his career profile - without a vision or an awareness of something better or greater than himself.

If the police are major backers of the Dream party, they may well reject orders to kill innocents aka work for the West.
The Georgian people also see what is happening and are very unsettled..
I wonder what it will take to END the US/UK/NATO/ISRAHELL/GULF MONARCHY RULE???
The US is pushing very hard to normalize relations between the Zionazi entity and the crypto Jew Wahhabists. MBS people are protesting this normalization and MBS is arresting those who do.
The power of tbe above mentioned is out of control and done with US tax payer money.
I hope Georgia law is a screaming success.

Who can tell me where does VVP stand in relationship with Georgia? Could a state visit help? Or is its parliament too riven with hate for the Kremlin?
Posted by: Jake Blanchard | May 4 2024 2:55 utc | 54
VVP prefers that Georgia engage in trade with Russia and otherwise mind their own business. Georgia seems to have figured out since that little war a while back with Russia that minding their own business is good business. Good for them. A state visit would probably not help, exacerbates tensions and all that. Georgia, like Modolva, has a couple of "autonomous" provinces already. Generally it is the "urban elites" that are hot for blue jeans and Coke and "western values". Russia is talking about having a bigger military footprint in Abkhazia, one of those autonomous provinces, as we speak. Georgia for Georgians is the idea I think. A Georgian war to "damage Russia" is even stupider than the Ukraine fandango has proved to be. Uncle Sugar likes these little states with alienated sub-populations as they are easy to start trouble in. One of the unfortunate legacies of Soviet times is a lot of Russian sub-populations littered about on the Russian periphery, which Russia does seem to want to protect from bigotry.

But hang on. What if the NGOs keep working their black magic, if Georgia gets more and more Bolshie, if it leans more and more towards the EU and NATO. THEN what does Putin say/do?
Did you watch the Ritter video? He says it's Maidan all over again, happening right now. Surely RF is not gunna sit by and watch civil war on its border (again). Or are we to believe that RF would trounce in and squash such an uprising?
"Georgia for Georgians", live and let live, would be destined for trouble, imo. Imo, Putin needs to set political boundaries for Georgia.

Your opinion is absolutely RIGHT! Russia should layout the choice of Georgia staying forever neutral, or Russia will make it part of Russia again, the same offer prior to SMO.

Being a central hub for foreign NGOs in SE Asia, Thailand had been subject to the same attempts at color revolutions. A couple of years ago, Thailand tried to pass a law which would have required NGOs to reveal their funding source but ultimately failed to pass due to the huge outcry by the usual actors like the NED, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch. Back then, Bangkok-based Brian Berletic covered it extensively and recently devoted a podcast on Georgia.

The whole text of this won’t post here for some reason, fascinating parallels.
🇺🇸🇰🇬 About attempts to destabilize the situation in KyrgyzstanAmid protests against the law on foreign agents in Georgia and the closure of the Soros Foundation in Kyrgyzstan, Western media working on the topic of the CIS decided to once again criticize official Bishkek. They again recalled the threats from the EU and US Secretary of State Blinken to reduce foreign aid and investment due to the adoption of the law.
But no matter how much the Western community would like to use this pretext to provoke pressure on the Kyrgyz authorities from within, a situation similar to what is happening in Tbilisi is unlikely to repeat itself here.
Simply because the work of NGOs in Kyrgyzstan did not have such an impact on the majority of the population that people would come out to protest for the so-called Soros Foundation. Therefore, the law here passed rather smoothly, causing indignation only among a small stratum of well-fed employees of well-known NGOs.

Hello,
does anyone have a link to the press conference Scott Ritter mentioned in regards to Saakashvili?
He mentioned that the Georgian president back then accused Rice of proposing to attack the Russians.
I cant find this press conference anywhere.
Any help is highly appreciated, as I am right now right in the center of Tbilisi, surrounded by people with a lot of hate for everything russian or supposedly russian-influenced, primarily because of the 2008 end result of the 15 year long brewing civil war.

@71 because people dream since 1989 of being part of European Union / the West. Simple as that. And EU is blackmailing Georgia: either EU Membership talks - or the 'Russian Law', but not both.
On top, the hate for everything Russian inside Georgia in the 'patriotic' scene of Tbilisi is extra ordinary.
The older guys which experienced the USSR are more relaxed in this regard.

To them, North America and Western Europe is "the golden billion". It is ironic that Ukraine wants to join the EU just when EU prosperity goes down. Or perhaps it is cause and effect - that EU prosperity lowers when Ukraine joins.

EurAsia is becoming more and more a coherent whole against the collective West, which includes the failing archipelago next to the Atlantic. Perhaps BRINCISSTAN will become BRINGCISSTAN if Georgia reorients after throwing out the Western regime changers and manipulators. This should help Azerbaijan work out where its interests truly lie, surrounded by Russia, Iran, Georgia and Armenia The West has also failed in Kazakhstan and Belarus. Armenia has its Western quisling who will lead his country into disaster. India will always go its own failing way, which really leaves Pakistan and Myanmar as places of conflict, we will see how the former reacts to the US threats about it going forward with the Iranian pipeline.
The orientation of the globe is rapidly taking shape, with a Eurasia excluding India and the European archipelago firmly aligned against the West and increasing parts of Africa being the same. In the Middle East, Egypt and Jordan are comprador states with Saudi Arabia attempting to steer a path. A very big variable is Turkey, if it ever aligns with BRINCISSTAN it will be a huge change. Turkey just cut off trade relations with Israel. It would add hugely to a Russian total victory in Ukraine.
The West gets weak and getting weaker but it will not stop attempting to undermine the rise of BRINCISSTAN+, but these are actions of retreat not advance.
Thailand tried to pass such laws, I don't think that they were successful. Here is a good video from the New Atlas on how the US interfered in Belarus and how such NGOs are driving government opposition and separatist movements in Thailand.
Thailand's NGO Law vs US Meddling
Hopefully Georgia's law will pass, and that will drive Thailand and other nations to pass such laws. Without the NGO complex, the Western regime change complex is severely reduced in effectiveness.
Glasshopper @ 72: Look at who supports such movements, what that person's occupation is and his/her background. Such a person is nearly always a "creative artist": an actor, a musician, a painter perhaps, among other artistic occupations historically associated with being social rebels, usually poorly paid and thus dependent on government funding or private sponsorship by ... NGOs.
These days working class people are either too busy or exhausted by their work to participate in political activism, or (in many societies now) they are alienated from mainstream politics and its preoccupations because they are migrants or refugees. from other countries and thus don't speak the languages or share in the cultural narratives and obsessions of their host nations. This means much so-called political activism is the work of people who actually live very privileged lives dependent on financial grants or other subsidies, and who may have very little understanding of what real oppression and exploitation are going on in their own societies.

You tempt me to play the 'advocatus diaboli'.
Foreign meddling/ undermining with the ultimate aim of regime change would have little chance if there weren't any legitimate grievances and/ or divisions in society. Outside interference needs existing conflict(s) in society where it can place a lever to drum up and radicalise opposition protests.
Usually it's either socio-economic discontent (poverty, inequality, unemployment, poor services, corruption) or ethnic, religious or other (e.g. city vs. countryside) divisions.
Ukraine in 2014 had "all of the above".
Georgia (without Abkhazia & South Ossetia) and Armenia surely have their share of corruption, but I'm not aware of relevant ethnic divisions. Often enough, the post-regime change leaders turn out to be more corrupt than the previous ones - but hey, it's all a matter of perception & media framing.
Lastly, some governments don't know how to react in the face of protest movements. Poor crisis management or disproportionate violence can also strengthen protests and hasten a regime's demise.

@ smuks 86.
Kyrgyzstan had recurring bouts of NGOitis. They've managed to mostly get over it, or so it seems.
Hopefully Georgia can do the same, if nothing else. The fate of Armenia & Ukraine are even bigger object lessons for them, than the 5-day war of 2008.
Any non-comprador regime, that gives half a damn about their country. Would draw the correct concussions about the NGO-regime change complex.

short summary of georgia recent years instability events on RT
Washington has backed two “revolution attempts” in Georgia over the past years, the nation’s prime minister, Irakli Kobakhidze, said on Saturday. A successful coup would have turned the former Soviet state into another bridgehead used to open “the second front” against Moscow, he warned.
Two revolution attempts of 2020-2023 [were] supported by the former US Ambassador and those carried out through NGOs financed from external sources,” Kobakhidze said in his post. “Had these attempts been successful, the second front line would have been opened in Georgia.”
In November 2020, massive demonstrations broke out in the capital Tbilisi after the first round of national parliamentary elections saw the ‘Georgian Dream’ party gain more than 48% of the vote. The opposition then claimed the elections were rigged and demanded the head of the Central Elections Commission resign and that parliamentary elections be held anew.
In February 2021, massive clashes erupted, again in Tbilisi, as Georgian police stormed the main office of the opposition United National Movement (UNM) and detained party leader Nikanor (Nika) Melia. The politician was accused of inciting riots in the capital two years ago, in 2019.
In March 2023, the Georgian capital saw large-scale protests against a “foreign agents” bill. At that time, the parliamentary majority voted in favor of the bill, which requires any organization receiving more than 20% of its funding from abroad to register as a foreign agent. Opposition politicians denounced the proposal as copying a Russian law, arguing this was somehow endangering Georgian democracy and Euro-Atlantic integration.
“False statements made by the officials of the US State Department about the transparency bill and street rallies remind us of similar false statements made by the former US Ambassador in 2020-2023, which served to facilitate violence from foreign-funded actors and to support revolutionary processes back then,” Kobakhidze said, commenting on the situation.
