Girchi party: Gov't fights against partners, opposition acts beyond reality

“The Bill on Transparency of Foreign Influence is a project to fight against someone. People see that the government is fighting against its partners, and the opposition acts beyond reality,” said Iago Khvichia of the parliamentary Girchi party.

According to Iago Khvichia, with the re-submission of the bill, the ruling Georgian Dream (GD) party fights with the US with the proposed changes. However, this may lead to “entangling into an international scandal.”

“We will attempt to persuade society that the bill, allegedly oriented at transparency and caring about people, has to do with the fight with strategic partners contextually. The partners adopt changes to fight against adversaries. I disagree with the idea of adopting changes to combat adversaries. They fought against Fascists and Putin, but whom do we fight? It is not specified.

We adopted the Law on the Army in a way without naming the enemy. I am most interested in the people’s reaction because they see that the government fights against partners and the opposition acts beyond reality,” he said.
