Tbilisi would like to know how the law on transparency of foreign influence would harm Georgian democracy, if similar laws in the U.S. and France, on the contrary, serve to strengthen democracy.
"The first persons of the U.S. and France once again criticize us for the transparency law. Can anyone, a person or an organization, Georgian or foreigner, give us an answer to the question? How can democracy be undermined in Georgia by exactly the same thing that strengthens democracy in the U.S. and France?!" Mamuka Mdinaradze said.
He recalled that a much stricter law has been in effect in the U.S. since the 1930s.
"Not even a week has passed since France adopted a much stricter law regulating the same field!" Mamuka Mdinaradze said.
Earlier, U.S. and French Presidents Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron called on the Georgian Dream to respect the public's wishes by returning to the Euro-Atlantic path.
