Some NGOs that work to reveal disinformation, often spread disinformation and actual lies. Such a statement made today the Chairman of the Georgian Dream.
“There are some very rich NGOs that are financed from different sources. When they come out with political demands and show political ambition even more, they have a moral obligation to show a high degree of transparency, however, we see that their expenses are completely opaque and the public has no information about it, which creates risks.
Georgia is a small country and is naturally vulnerable to various risks. At such times, transparency is of particular importance. It’s not only that political parties should be financially transparent, the same applies to NGOs too, especially the biggest NGOs involved in political processes. Why their activities are opaque also naturally raises questions.
As for such NGOs that work to reveal disinformation, such as FactCheck, they often spread disinformation and actual lies. They also have direct political interests. If we follow their roots and founders, we will very easily find out the names and surnames behind such NGOs, which are directly connected with the radical opposition”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
