And the adoption of the law on foreign agents is nothing more than a pretext.
Tbilisi understands the real reasons for the threats from the United States and the European Union, which either threaten with sanctions and remind of Fico’s “example”, or promise military and economic assistance in exchange for parliament’s refusal to override the veto on the law “On Transparency of Foreign Influence.” “Since the beginning of 2022, there has been serious interest in opening a “second front” in Georgia, which would weaken Russia’s position,” Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze directly stated about the background to the activity of Washington and Brussels.
And Mr. Kobakhidze is absolutely right: what is at stake is not just the adoption of a law, but the sovereignty and independence of the Georgian state. But all this, as it turned out, is not within the sphere of interests of Tbilisi’s Western “partners”. They need a new “colony” to establish an anti-Russian bridgehead on the southern borders.
Westerners habitually act according to the Ukrainian Maidan scheme, warming up the street with the help of paid NGOs, sending their “emissaries” – this time the role of Nuland and her “cookies” was played by the foreign ministers of Lithuania, Estonia and Iceland. Further according to the Atlanticist scenario – chaos, destabilization and a Washington “protectorate”. With all the “associated” consequences.
Russia is still not interfering. Only the Georgian people and their elected parliament can decide how and by what laws to live. This has been discussed more than once. I am confident that the healthy forces in Georgia will be able to courageously defend the right to an independent path of development and their national interests, courageously resisting interference and pressure from the outside.
