The US Senate passed the MEGOBARI Act without any changes, Khatia Dekanoidze, one of the leaders of the National Movement, told Interpressnews.

According to Dekanoidze, this is an assignment for the federal investigative bodies to study Russian connections and also Chinese influences in Georgia.

The US Senate passed the MEGOBARI Act without any additional changes. This is full bipartisan support and now the next step will be subcommittees, but the fact is that nothing can stop the MEGOBARI Act. You know that this act includes very serious sanctions against Bidzina Ivanishvili and those people who are against Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations, as well as against those who fight for human rights.

This is an order to the federal investigative bodies to study Russian connections in Georgia, as well as Chinese influences, so it is a very serious and important act. Bidzina Ivanishvili, in practice, is already declared by this act as the regime, and all the illusions that the representatives of the Georgian Dream regime were deceiving the Georgian people, that the Trump administration would come and everything would change, all of this turned out to be a lie, and as Senator Shaheen said - we are showing the Georgian people that the United States of America stands by them.

I think that to cover up precisely this Mamuka Mdinaradze then came out and said that they would declare all parties unconstitutional. Now they are thinking about how to fill the information field with propaganda. Nothing will change and the discussion of this act will continue.

The fact is that the act has the support of the Republican Party, and without the support of the Trump administration, this act would not have been approved in the Senate," Dekanoidze said.
