Khatia Dekanoidze to Mamuka Mdinaradze: Are you, the majority, along with Ivanishvili, ready to refuse EU integration in exchange for the law?

I think that the majority here really think that the main basis for the discussion of the law is what Mr. Mdinaradze will say and what he will not say here under the instructions of Ivanishvili. Everyone knows very well, Mr. Mamuka, that no political leader in "Georgian Dream" represents political weight, because you will all do what Ivanishvili tells you, - said Khatia Dekanoidze, a member of "EuroOptimists", to the presenter of the draft law "On transparency of foreign influence" Mamuka Mdinaradze, the leader of the majority.

In response, Mamuka Mdinaradze noted that members of the ruling party do not have similar obedience to anyone.

"You are turning to insults. If you have the same obedience towards some people, we don't have it towards anyone, and don't insult anyone," said Mdinaradze.

Committee chairman Anri Okhanashvili also confronted Dekanoidze verbally.

"Why are you worried about our political weight? What are you worried about? On whose behalf are you talking to us?" Anri Okhanashvili asked.

As for the bill itself, according to Dekanoidze, the political power that did not investigate Irakli Fartskhaladze's influence should not talk about transparency.

"The Georgian people gave you a clear answer to the draft law last year, and this answer was as follows, that the adoption of this legislation is not in the interest of the Georgian people. It was Mr. Scholz's statement, then you blamed the translator, the most shameful thing I've ever heard, you blamed the translator for having translated something wrong, then the German ambassador translated Scholz's statement on Twitter and published it. The ambassador told you personally that this has nothing to do with the legislation, and most importantly, the statement of our partners and the statement of the citizens of Georgia means that this legislation is incompatible with EU integration. I need your answer to this, everyone, but in this case you represent Ivanishvili at the tribune. The specific question is the following, are you, the majority, along with Ivanishvili, ready to give up EU integration in exchange for the law?

If you care about transparency and foreign influences, Mr. Mamuka, why didn't you start an investigation on Fartskhaladze? Or if you have started, what is the current stage of this investigation? You once said that the SSSG conducted some interrogation and then people didn't even hear anything, was the Prosecutor General really a Russian spy?! You are now a representative of this force and you are proving to us and the public that you are interested in transparency?! If you were interested in the influence of foreign countries in this country and if you really care about transparency, have you wondered at least once where Murusidze-Chinchaladze-Mikautadze accumulated such a large fortune? "If you are talking about transparency, Mr. Mamuka, and about the non-governmental sector and the media, Irakli Gharibashvili has been receiving black money for years," said Khatia Dekanoidze.
