"Today, "Georgian Dream" wants to change the profile of non-governmental organizations and turn them into governmental organizations. From the budget, they intend to finance those organizations that are registered in the register. In fact, they want to bribe the free non-governmental sector so that the voice of criticism will not be heard from their side. The non-governmental sector is called non-governmental because it is free from the influence of the government and through it the government is controlled. They fight against the non-governmental sector because they want to prolong their stay in power and rob the budget and have no one to control them," said Gotsiridze.
