The Prime Minister of Georgia claimed the entire opposition and all opposition-leaning TV channels were working with “dark money”, thus preventing the functioning of the democratic system in a “healthy way”.

“It’s common knowledge that the entire opposition and all opposition-leaning television stations operate and are financed with illicit funds. This isn’t breaking news, although new details have emerged regarding this issue.

All of these indicate that these political forces are playing a highly negative role in our political life. They are obstructing the healthy functioning of the democratic system, and the fact that specific television stations and media outlets have been transformed into instruments of propaganda and falsehoods is particularly due to the role of illicit money. The relevant agencies will investigate this case”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
