“We need to distinguish between rights and propaganda,” said Mamuka Mdinaradze, leader of the parliamentary majority remarking on the decision to prepare a legislative initiative that will protect society from pseudo-liberal ideology and its inevitable harmful consequences.

“Let no one accuse us of something: if we are talking about whether or not this will lead to censorship or harsh interference in the field of human rights – no, on the contrary, we should be able to find the golden mean that will allow us to further improve the protection of rights while at the same time protecting future generations from this propaganda, in parallel to the former rather than at its expense,” Parliamentary Majority Leader Mamuka Mdinaradze stated.

Mamuka Mdinaradze warned that the radical opposition would likely “march against this unwritten, non-existent legislative initiative and claim that this is censorship and a Russian approach, interference and the violation of rights.”

“Let me tell you [what will happen] tomorrow or the day after: We intend to draft a legislative initiative; they will march against this unwritten, non-existent legislative initiative and claim that this is censorship and a Russian approach, that it amounts to interference and the violation of rights. This is a characteristic of propaganda,” Mdinaradze stated.

He noted that rights and propaganda should be distinguished from each other.

“It is the peculiarity of propaganda that it must hide behind the context of the protection of rights and proceed in this manner. This propaganda is fed to the people under the guise of the protection of rights, when in fact it is propaganda being carried out in this manner. Therefore, we must distinguish them from each other. This is a challenge, and we all must overcome this challenge together. We need to distinguish between rights and propaganda,” Mamuka Mdinaradze said.
