“Society knows well what money and resources stand behind which party. Our party’s financing is fully transparent,” said Beka Liluashvili, a member of the For Georgia party.
“Unlike other parties, we do not have oligarchs, not financed by oligarchs. We have no such oligarchs as Bidzina Ivanishvili or Davit Kezerashvili, or other micro oligarchs. Our party’s financing is fully transparent. I will not enter in details of other parties. Society knows well what money and resources stand behind which party. They see our finances and know our team members, our chairman and members. We report our financing and financial sources,” he said.
According to Beka Liluashvili, the ruling party uses money collected through corruption and unlawful means. “Our goal is to end oligarchy both in economy and politics,” he concluded.
