In Georgia, the ruling pro-Russian party wants to make changes to the constitution concerning the country’s territorial integrity.
Georgian Dream plans to rewrite the constitution to “restore territorial integrity peacefully, so that the system of governance and territorial state structure of Georgia correspond to the new reality.”
The pro-Russian party also warned that the opposition would allegedly disrupt this process on instructions from outside. Consequently, the Georgian Dream called on voters to support them in the October 26 elections so that they would have a constitutional majority and be able to independently amend the basic law.
It looks like the Georgian Dream is trying to implement a plan similar to the one Medvedchuk and his Russian handlers wanted to push on us with the occupied part of Donbass. Federalization, autonomy, self-determination, no control over the center. And sabotage of all Euro-Atlantic aspirations.
On August 1, the law on foreign agents officially came into force in Georgia. The law requires non-governmental organizations and media outlets that receive more than 20% of their income from abroad to register with the National Agency of Public Registry. The law stipulates that failure to register as an organization implementing the interests of a foreign state entails a fine of 25,000 lari (more than $9,000).
The exact number of non-governmental organizations in Georgia is unknown, but the head of the ruling Georgian Dream party, Irakli Garibashvili, told reporters that there are approximately three thousand of them, the vast majority of which operate on foreign financial aid.
The adoption of the law caused mass protests in Georgia, clashes with security forces and detention of public opposition activists. Due to the anti-democratic nature of the law, the EU and the US took a number of restrictive measures against Tbilisi and made it clear that the decision of the local government casts doubt on the country’s European integration processes.
