Giga Bokeria: Ivanishvili's regime is trying to create a new tool to harass the pro-Western media, which is a great danger

Ivanishvili's regime is trying to create a new tool to harass the pro-Western media, which is a great danger, Chairman of European Georgia, Giga Bokeria, thus reacted to the draft amendments to the Law on Broadcasting.

As Bokeria explained, they want to regulate the content of the media, which is a danger.

"What is important here is that during the Rose Revolution, when this law was adopted, it was a matter of principle to ensure that the content of any story was a matter of self-regulation. That is, it was to be regulated not by the commission, or the court, or any state body, but by the media itself.

If a person believed that he was defamed, this was governed by the law on freedom of speech and he had to go to court. All this is being done deliberately, precisely because of the dangers posed not only by such a disastrous government, but by any government with a weak democratic tradition.

Now they want to change this fundamental issue, to regulate the content of the media, and this, of course, is a danger," said Giga Bokeria.
