Myths about George Soros
Tbilisi. Georgian media often disseminates myths about anti-Georgian activities of a philanthropist, George Soros. An interview of the leader of political union Georgian Idea, Sandro Bregadze, containing another disinformation, was published in September 12-18, 2016 edition of Asaval-Dasavali. More precisely, Sandro Bregadze made the following statement:
"The Georgian population should know by any means - the Central Office of Soros' Foundation, located in Budapest, allocated EUR 114 thousand to anti-Georgian non-governmental organizations, so that they confront the initiative group of the referendum and personally me! We are also aware that Soros' Foundation will allocate additional EUR 3 million to Georgian ‘liberast' NGOs, for them to strengthen attacks on national forces!"
''Myth # 1. Soros Funds NGOs Covertly: information about the programs of the Open Society Foundation is published on its web-page and is accessible for every interested individual. The information also includes the financial resources allocated for grant calls and programs. The information about the winning organizations in the foundation's calls and their respective activities is transparent, too'', is noted in the statement.
