In the conversation with Charles Michel, conveyed my disappointment that despite numerous invitations, our partners have been reluctant to engage in substantive discussions on transparency law – Prime Minister

The Prime Minister of Georgia writes about his phone conversation with the President of the European Council on the social network.

“I had a conversation with Charles Michel, President of the European Council regarding the Draft Laws On Transparency of Foreign Influence and On the Protection of Family Values and Minors.

I conveyed my disappointment that despite numerous invitations, our partners have been reluctant to engage in substantive discussions on transparency law. Furthermore, I highlighted that we have not yet heard any counterarguments against this proposed legislation, which is solely aimed at promoting transparency and accountability of relevant organizations vis-à-vis Georgian society.

I brought to the attention of the President of the European Council the active involvement of foreign-funded organizations in two attempted revolutions in Georgia between 2020 and 2023.

In this context, I emphasized that the enactment of the transparency law is a crucial prerequisite for achieving depolarization, which is the main recommendation of the European Union”, - writes Irakli Kobakhidze.
