On May 10, Shalva Papuashvili, the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, called on the audit service to check the opposition parties. According to him, they are financed from abroad.

"The general rule is that foreign money has nothing to do with politics. We see that, unfortunately, foreign money is being invested in Georgian politics through such front organizations and some kind of fraud. Recently, we have seen such schemes revealed in the case of Girchi, Droa, and other parties. European Georgia has also formed fake non-governmental organizations that are not just affiliated with these parties, but directly founded by them, and political money is registered as a grant, which is illegal financing of parties," Papuashvili said.

In his opinion, the audit service should deal with this issue, and these organizations should publish data on their funding. Papuashvili said that it was necessary to find out why the money paid by IRI (the American organization International Republican Institute) is used to train young people to use weapons and introduce revolutionary scenarios.

"I have repeatedly spoken with our partners that their taxpayer money is being used to introduce the idea of violence in Georgia and encourage violence. Now it turned out that IRI directly finances just such events, where a certain familiarization of young people with weapons takes place so that later they will not hesitate to take these weapons in their hands at the right time. When such events are funded by American taxpayers, it is certainly very shocking. We can clearly see that this money is used for cases contrary to the national interests of the Georgian people," the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament emphasized.
