Georgian non-governmental organizations issue a statement and call on the leaders of "Georgian Dream" to explain to the Georgian people whether they were instructed to act in favor of the interests of a foreign state.
In particular, the statement mentions that the representatives of the party, the author of the "Russian Law," have been working in organizations funded by the USA and the European Union for decades:
Some of them, as representatives of donor organizations, worked with Georgian non-governmental organizations on justice, equality, self-government, and other issues.
"Today, they declare that those organizations, which they have represented for years, act in the interests of foreign states and are a threat to Georgia.
We call on them to publicly explain to the Georgian people whether someone instructed them to act in favor of the interests of a foreign state and, if so, to name specific cases. Georgian non-governmental organizations acted, are acting, and will continue to act to achieve the goals stipulated by their statutes, to protect the interests of Georgian citizens, and to strengthen democratic public institutions in Georgia."
