British Embassy failed to disclose which organizations it funded in Georgia prior to the 2024 elections and the amounts of current funding, the Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili stated.

He also claimed that financing propaganda and extremism in another country constitutes a breach of international law.

“To better understand the situation, it’s worth recalling that the British Embassy once described the NGO Georgia’s Future Academy—linked to Gia Japaridze, number five on the National Movement party list—as an objective election observer, stating: “We want to fund them—what does this have to do with supporting extremism?”

It has now been a week since I requested the British Embassy to disclose which organizations it funded prior to the 2024 elections and the amounts of current funding. However, in apparent violation of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and the Georgia–United Kingdom Strategic Partnership and Cooperation Agreement, the Embassy has not provided this information to the Georgian public. Funding propaganda and extremist activity in another country constitutes a breach of international law,” the Speaker wrote on social media.
