Regarding USAID, I would like to see not only a review of funding, but also an investigation into the role of the USAID representation in Georgia in the dissemination of false results of the parallel vote tabulation in 2020, - said the Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia Shalva Papuashvili.

As the Speaker of the Parliament said, they are ready to cooperate with the relevant American institutions.

“You know that the local USAID office was involved in the dissemination of false results of the parallel vote tabulation in 2020. They were directly involved in all of this. I would like to see not only a review of funding, but also an investigation into the involvement of the then USAID leadership in the scandal of the dissemination of false results of the parallel vote tabulation in 2020, which almost led the society to chaos. In general, this is the basis for the review of funding. I was pleasantly surprised when Trump's executive order was based on the fact that international assistance, in some cases, is used to create some kind of chaos on the ground, including harming US interests. This is exactly the approach, the vision that we have regarding certain such events or activities. Not only the issue of funding, I would like to see the role of the USAID representative office in Georgia in spreading false results of the parallel vote tabulation in 2020 investigated. Among other things, we are ready to cooperate with the relevant American institutions, since the then USAID leadership deceived us and me personally, as if the results of the parallel vote tabulation were correct. Then it turned out that this very leadership, including the foreign leader, knew exactly that there were fake results being disseminated by ISFED, and they were simply deceiving the government, the Georgian people, and were covering up for ISFED's then employees," Shalva Papuashvili said.
