This was a warning speech, which calls on all political parties to make their financial accounts fully public and accessible by August 31, as required by law, "Georgian Dream" MP Irakli Kadagishvili noted while evaluating the statement made by the head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
According to him, the non-governmental sector and donor organizations are used to interfere in political processes and election processes inside the country.
As Kadagishvili noted, it is generally a gross violation of democratic processes in the world when a foreign country finances political and electoral processes within the country.
"Financial reports are not the subject of fiction, so that everyone can draw their own conclusions from what they read. These are specific numbers, and with these specific numbers, of course, a verdict or conclusion is drawn. Therefore, when the anti-corruption service, which specifically studies the documentation and the figures reflected or not reflected in this documentation, this is the specifics based on which they say that either they have not presented the relevant reports, or they have presented them incompletely. It was a warning speech calling on all political parties to make their financial accounts fully public and available by August 31, as required by law.
Therefore, what they say is one thing, what is actual data is another reality. Regarding the fact that what we were talking about is specifically revealed, that unfortunately, the non-governmental sector and donor organizations are used to interfere in the political processes and election processes inside the country. Financial mechanisms are allocated for this. This is confirmed once again by this message that we heard today. Here, too, the anti-corruption service imposed an obligation specifically on "Freedom Square" and its members, that they, as political organizations, should produce relevant financial statements.
It is generally a gross violation of democratic processes in the world when a foreign country finances political and electoral processes within the country. Of course, this is also a violation of Georgian legislation", Kadagishvili noted.
For information, according to the head of the anti-corruption bureau, Razden Kuprashvili, the opposition parties do not disclose their funding in full or in part.
