The decision we made is to adopt exactly the same law that works in the United States, - this is what the mayor of the capital, Kakha Kaladze, said while discussing the proposed legislative changes, including initiatives related to the media.
As Kaladze stated, the foreign funding that was coming into the country was aimed at organizing a coup.
"It all stems from the fact that transparency is important. We have been talking for some time now that the foreign funding coming into the country was mainly aimed at polarization, funding extremist organizations, and organizing a state coup. When we talked about this, certain groups of people did not believe us and even mocked us, but when the President of the United States stated that USAID is a criminal organization, using those exact words, I think everything became clear, where that money was coming from, who was behind those revolutions and coups, so we made the decision to adopt exactly the same law as the one that is functioning and operational in the United States today. It will be a copy, a replica, to avoid any questions...
Regarding the changes to be implemented in media work standards, we are introducing British standards. Today, can anyone say that "FARA" is bad, or that it goes against democratic processes, according to British standards? We will act as developed countries do," Kaladze stated.
