The Parliamentary Temporary Investigative Commission is requesting an extension of its working term by one more month.

The British Embassy is not disclosing to the Georgian public who it was funding and with what amounts ahead of the 2024 elections, or who it is funding today — this was stated by the Speaker of Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, in a post on social media.

The content of the resolution "Media Freedom in Georgia, in particular the case of Mzia Amaghlobeli", which the European Parliament is voting on today, is now known.

"The EU remains ready to take measures to hold human rights violators in Georgia accountable," stated Ekaterina Zaharieva, EU Commissioner for Startups, Research, and Innovation, during her speech at the European Parliament, where the issue of "Media Freedom in Georgia, particularly the case of Mzia Amaghlobeli" was discussed.

"Media freedom does not mean tolerating any form of excess, nor is it an alibi for foreign interference."

"The light of democracy is fading in Georgia; this country has become a satellite of Moscow. Silence and simply standing by is a crime," stated European Parliament member Małgorzata Gosiewska during a session of the European Parliament.

The fifth President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, expresses solidarity with the organizations that, according to her, have become "victims of pressure" from the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

The ruling Georgian Dream party fears a free press like a vampire fears the light, because they know they can only survive in the shadows, MEP Tobias Cremer (Germany) said during a debate in the European Parliament on the case of Mzia Amaglobeli, founder of Batumelebi and Netgazeti.

Former Shida Kartli Governor Giorgi Khojevanishvili states that he had no information about the operational-tactical decisions of law enforcement agencies in the Chorchana case, as this was not within his competence.

Mzia Amaglobeli and her friends deserve help, serious sanctions are needed against the regime - let's not ask them to return to the EU path, they will not return, this regime has the genes of the Kremlin, - MEP Rasa Juknevičienė stated in a speech in the European Parliament, where they are discussing the issue – “Media Freedom in Georgia, particularly the case of Mzia Amaglobeli".

The group that is with Salome Zurabishvili is preparing to disrupt the local elections, - said the Speaker of the Parliament Shalva Papuashvili.

Today I saw in the British Embassy's statement that they do not agree with the idea that they are funding propaganda and extremism, their behavior is already similar to the behavior of a child who hides a stolen item in his hand and when asked what he has in his hand, he says, "nothing", - said the Speaker of Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, responding to the statement of the British Embassy.

According to the head of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Razhden Kuprashvili, representatives of some organizations are deliberately spreading false information, as if the Bureau is requesting personal and professional information of citizens without a court decision.

In the European Parliament, MEPs held a performance in support of those detained during protests in Georgia, as well as politicians who have been arrested.
