PM: All state agencies must remain vigilant to prevent external and opaque funding from radicalising processes

“All relevant state agencies will remain vigilant so that we do not allow anyone to radicalise processes through external and opaque funding,” Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told journalists.

As the head of government noted, all attempts to stoke radicalism are connected to foreign intelligence services, which requires particular attention.

“All relevant state agencies will remain vigilant so that we do not allow anyone to radicalise processes through external and opaque funding. You can see they are disfiguring people’s souls and faces, and this is a very serious problem. Foreign intelligence services are engaged in developing people in Georgia in a different and wrong direction. You have seen Georgian liberals and can compare them, for example, to American liberals; they share very similar traits, characterised by the same features, and they have lost their ancestry. This is very regrettable; we must resist in every way the spread of pseudo-liberalism in our country,” declared Irakli Kobakhidze.

“Specific ambassadors, including, regrettably, the EU ambassador, are directly engaged in stoking radicalisation in Georgia and are directly involved in processes that cause the degeneration of specific people in this country,” Irakli Kobakhidze went on to say.

According to him, when the EU ambassador is directly involved in such processes, it is very regrettable and damages the EU’s image in Georgia.

“You may recall what Georgian Bolsheviks were like a hundred years ago, and we are currently facing similar tendencies; there are those who seek to cultivate such individuals in Georgia. In due course, we enacted the Transparency Law, which was specifically aimed at countering such processes. Naturally, we will continue to protect our country from these kinds of influences in every way possible. When the EU ambassador is directly involved in similar processes, it is very regrettable. All this reflects negatively on the EU’s image in Georgia. This is a very alarming phenomenon, which we must all resist,” declared the Prime Minister.
