The founder of the Georgian Dream (GD) party, Bidzina Ivanishvili, on Monday, addressed the GD-organized public gathering at the Parliament of Georgia, saying “The non-transparent funding of NGOs is the main tool with which you can appoint the authorities of Georgia from abroad.”

Ivanishvili went on to say, “The goal is for Georgia to be ruled not by the authorities elected by the people but by the “bats” – modern-day Sergo Orjonikidzes and Gigla Berbichashvilis – appointed from outside.”

“Not allowing this to happen is our duty to the Georgian public figures who sacrificed themselves for the idea of Georgia’s freedom.

The funding of NGOs, which they often begrudge us and count as aid, is used almost exclusively to strengthen the agents and bring them to power.

Accordingly, these funds have nothing to do with aid and, on the contrary, their only goal is to deprive Georgia of its state sovereignty,” Ivanishvili added.
