“Georgian Dream’s” Chairman Bidzina Ivanishvili said in an interview with Entrepreneur Georgia that 90% of his property will be used for charity.
“I am planning to devote no less than 90 percent of my property to public affairs, that is, to charity, which I have stated on numerous occasions and I reaffirm this once again. By the way, our opponents, who are focused on lies and slander, seemed to have disliked this statement and have tried their best to cover it up. Given precisely this decision, I would prefer to recoup, albeit with significant losses, a part of the investment that has already fulfilled its role as catalyst, and to direct these funds in a timely manner to broader objectives of public importance, than to leave these resources in one project for a long period of time. However, I do not have the illusion that many people will have the desire to purchase such expensive projects that are associated with such large volumes of investment. I might have to manage them for a long time to come but the principle remains unchanged – any revenue generated by these facilities, including revenues generated from their operation, will be spent using the same ratio that was in place in case of sale – 90/10. By the way, the opponents can impose effective monitoring on the fulfillment of this condition; it is clear, however, that they will not do this. They cannot handle facts and the truth. For this reason, I am assuming that they will once again choose lies and slander as their method of opposition”, - explains Ivanishvili.
