On June 29, Shalva Papuashvili, the Speaker of the Parliament of Georgia, criticized non-governmental organizations that have refused to register in the Transparency Register, while commenting on the decision of the European Court of Human Rights to communicate a complaint concerning the seizure of the bank accounts of five Georgian civil organizations, formally launching its examination of the case. Papuashvili stated that the organizations have every right to appeal to both the Constitutional Court of Georgia and the European Court of Human Rights, but stressed that they are also obliged to comply with the courts' decisions. He noted that the Constitutional Court rejected requests to suspend the transparency law while considering the case, and that the Strasbourg Court likewise declined to halt the law's implementation during its review.

According to Papuashvili, organizations that claim to respect the Constitutional Court and the Strasbourg Court must also respect their rulings. He argued that their refusal to comply with the law demonstrates a disregard for the rule of law, democracy and legal order. Papuashvili claimed that the organizations are knowingly violating the law by refusing to register in the Transparency Register and alleged that foreign donors continue financing them despite these violations, thereby encouraging them to break Georgian law. He described such actions by donors as "an outrageous fact."

Papuashvili also argued that "hatred is associated with pro-Europeanism in the eyes of Georgians," claiming that those who present themselves as pro-European are the primary sources of hate speech and offensive rhetoric. He emphasized that reducing externally driven hatred would improve Georgia's political environment by encouraging more constructive debate and preventing further escalation of political tensions. Papuashvili argued that when political groups resort to insults instead of arguments, meaningful public discussion becomes impossible.

Papuashvili further stated that the European Union should support initiatives aimed at combating hate speech if it does not wish to be associated with "obscenity, swearing and hate speech." He maintained that such measures would help restore the EU's reputation in Georgia and encourage what he described as pro-European political forces to abandon offensive language in favor of respectful political discourse. According to Papuashvili, "We have heard that they are well versed in swearing, but if they have any arguments and something to say behind the swearing, we will see."
