Kakha Kaladze, Mayor of Tbilisi and Secretary General of the ruling Georgian Dream party, condemned President Salome Zurabishvili’s decision to file a lawsuit against the transparency law on foreign influence, calling it “illogical.” Kaladze highlighted the contradiction, noting that Zurabishvili had previously criticized the Constitutional Court, which ruled last year that she had violated the constitution with her unauthorized visits to Europe.

“When President Zurabishvili violated the constitution, she made statements against the Constitutional Court. Now, filing a lawsuit with the same institution is illogical,” Kaladze claimed.

He further suggested that the issues surrounding the transparency law were not solely domestic but also influenced by external forces.

“We are told that transparency is detrimental, and that transparency itself is somehow un-European. Transparency is essential, and we are committed to advancing our country and its European integration,” Kaladze asserted.

Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze also weighed in on the matter, emphasizing on Monday that there was “no alternative to transparency.” He criticized efforts to undermine transparency, describing it as unacceptable to attempt to stage and fund a revolution in the country.

The controversial law in question mandates that non-commercial legal entities and media outlets must register as “pursuing the interests of a foreign power” if they receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad.
