Nika Gilauri, who seemed distant from politics, has emerged as an active participant in the fight against our country and people alongside the radical opposition. Such a statement made Vladimir Bozhadze, a member of the Georgian Dream.

“Thanks to FARA, we learned that [Mikheil] Saakashvili’s retired mother paid USD 1 million to lobbying companies. Then David Kezerashvili, who plundered the Georgian army, paid USD 500 000. Now it turns out that Nika Gilauri, who seemingly stood far from politics, wasn’t financing the radical opposition, and whose activities were supposedly limited to charity, has signed a USD 600,000 contract with a lobbying company to promote their activities in US, including political activities, and establish contacts with various senators and officials.

This is not illegal, but it once again shows that Gilauri, along with the radical opposition, is also involved in the fight against our country and people.

The funding and resources they have are being selflessly spent against their own country, and FARA has once again confirmed this. This proves that along with the radical opposition, Nika Gilauri is also involved in the political struggle that we have been witnessing in recent days.

Senator Joe Wilson was also involved in these processes, and apparently, other senators, who are distinguished by their statements against Georgia.

Probably the authors of the MEGOBARI Act will turn out to be the people who, as a result of this lobbying campaign, are very interested in damaging Georgia-US relations and Georgia’s international image. It seems that the result of this funding could be a further strengthening of the policy that we see in this direction.

This policy is completely different from the US state policy, including concerning Georgia, but the fact is that Saakashvili’s family members, as well as Kezerashvili and Gilauri, are spending hundreds of thousands of USD against their own state and people”, - said Vladimir Bozhadze.
