“What was adopted yesterday in the form of the ‘MEGOBARI Act’ clearly has nothing to do with friendship, and on the contrary, it could even be considered an act of hostility,” said Georgian Dream MP Vladimer Bozhadze in a statement to journalists.

According to him, this is an act that serves the interests of the United National Movement.

“We sincerely support President Trump in fulfilling his campaign promise to defeat the deep state. You know that Vice Prime Minister Levan Davitashvili had important meetings at the State Department. Of course, we are ready even now for a policy reset with America, to restart our relations from a clean slate.

However, what was adopted yesterday in the form of the MEGOBARI Act has nothing to do with friendship, and may actually be seen as hostility. Still, we must wait to see what decision the Senate and President Trump make. This is a friendly act toward the United National Movement, an attempt to falsely present lies as truth. The joyful faces of the opposition this morning may only reflect a one-day celebration. The act includes numerous inaccuracies, lies, and disinformation that we’ve heard many times before in European Parliament resolutions. Nevertheless, we hope in the future we will have the opportunity to elevate our strategic partnership to the level it once was. Our heroic soldiers fought alongside Americans in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

As for the inaccuracies regarding alleged corruption related to the Anaklia Port — that is simply a lie, and it’s unfortunate that Congress made such a decision. Let’s wait and see what the Senate and President Trump decide. We hope this does not become law, because Trump understands better than anyone the current global needs and the security challenges facing our country. I’m convinced this will not ultimately become law,” Bozhadze stated.

He also commented on the upcoming Georgian Dream congress, saying it will be held tomorrow at 1:00 p.m.

“The decision will be made by the congress tomorrow. You know that the regional conferences have ended, and the congress will take place at 1:00 p.m. We will elect a new council, a chairman, and a new political council. Georgian Dream needs a strong chairman — someone who, together with our team, can firmly face the challenges the country is dealing with,” he added.

For reference, the U.S. House of Representatives supported the MEGOBARI Act — the “Mobilizing and Enhancing Georgia’s Options for Building Accountability, Resilience, and Independence” Act — with 349 votes in favor and 42 against. The bill must now be approved by the U.S. Senate.
