For information, according to the information of Formula, the Ambassador of Denmark to Georgia referred to the "founder of the Georgian dream" Bidzina Ivanishvili as an oligarch.
According to Formula, the Ambassador wrote about this in the OP-ED published in the local media, where he discussed recent events in Georgia, including the status of a candidate country.
“The ruling Georgian Dream party, founded by oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili, who amassed his fortune in Russia in the 1990s, has been in power since 2012. The opposition, led by Saakashvili's United National Movement party, constantly boycotts parliamentary work and accuses the authorities of politicizing the courts, suppressing free media and harassing members of the opposition," the Ambassador wrote.
