A total of 360 000 has been paid, and there is a specific congressman, Wilson, who has received 87 thousand to smear Georgia and include false and misleading information in the aforementioned act [the MEGOBARI Act], - Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze stated in a conversation with journalists.

According to him, the MEGOBARI Act is completely saturated with slander and lies.

“I do not know what decision will be made regarding the aforementioned act [the MEGOBARI Act]. I can say that this act is completely saturated with slander and lies. It has been exposed. A total of 360 000 has been paid, and there is a specific congressman, Wilson, who has received 87 thousand to smear Georgia and include false and misleading information in the said act. This is a reality that has become known, it has become known from the FARA law. This is the same law that we adopted and which caused protest. Everyone understands why and for what. In general, there would be no need to adopt this law if it were not for the attacks and coup attempts that we have seen several times in recent years. However, we, together with people, will defend the country and the interests of the people,” Kaladze said.
