“Joe Wilson is the product of lobbying, asking for money to defend someone’s interests. The essence of lobbism is that someone who pays money gets his/her interests defended,” said Irakli Kadagishvili, Chairman of the parliamentary Self-Governance Committee.

GD MP Kadagishvili remarked on the article in the Hills publication, which said that “Texas oil company executive is lobbying against Georgia sanctions bill.” Based on the article, Steve Nicandros, co-founder of the Texas-based U.S. oil company Frontera Resources, calls on Republican Congressmen to vote against the MEGOBARI Act.

“Georgia’s declared policy is that we will not defend the country’s interests by bobbying. We openly discuss these interests, and we will not pay anyone for defending national interests. If this person holds to the viewpoint stated in the article, then his viewpoint is correct. How can they abandon the bad policy, which was introduced during the Biden administration and then expanded to the European Union? The EU remains under its captivity, including Maia Sandu.

Joe Wilson is the product of lobbying, asking for money to defend someone’s interests. The essence of lobbyism is that someone who pays money gets his/her interests defended. At this point, America’s national interests may be exchanged for money paid for lobbying. America has the advantage of having FARA legislation, from which we learn how this or that individual receives financing. Therefore, we know which goals Joe Wilson’s MEGOBARI Act serves,” he said.
