“I personally saw from open sources that, in his [so-called Blazevic’s] organization, a Georgian is also working. This is interesting — it may even involve certain criminal offenses if undeclared money is being spent in Georgia. I am sure the State Security Service will monitor and examine all of this,” said the Speaker of Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili.
According to Papuashvili, based on open sources, the organization itself distributes millions in grants across Eastern Europe and the Caucasus region.
“From what I personally observed in open sources, a Georgian is also working in this [so-called Blazevic’s] organization, which is noteworthy. History has taught us that Georgians who emigrated to other countries would later interfere in their homeland’s affairs from abroad. We see this even today, as individuals with Georgian names and surnames are working in or cooperating with this organization, yet in spirit they serve foreign interests.
From open sources, it appears that the organization distributes millions in grants, specifically in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus region. From this, we can assume that money is also being spent in Georgia, likely without coordination and without transparency. Therefore, it is evident that these are intelligence-style activities. Moreover, there may even be elements of criminal wrongdoing if undeclared funds are being spent in Georgia, both in terms of transparency and taxation. I am confident that the State Security Service will look into and study all of this. Our task, meanwhile, is to expose it politically.
Once again, there is growing disappointment among Georgians — we sought the European Union for peace, yet what we are receiving from it is encouragement of hostility, division, and conflict, which is a disaster for the EU, which, under its current leadership, has strayed from the values that civilized humanity has achieved,” Papuashvili said.
For context, a few days ago the TV channel Imedi TV reported that “a revolutionary scenario for the opposition is being written by one of the leaders of the Prague Civil Society Centre, Igor Blažević.”
