The Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, Shalva Papuashvili, addressed the international donors and diplomats accredited in Georgia, saying, "Foreign money has nothing to do with Georgian politics, pre-election campaigning, and such financing should be stopped. Once again, I appeal to all donors and embassies to pay attention, not a single cent of them should go into the party's bank account."
"Statements by "International Society for Fair Elections and Democracy", "Transparency International," and other "NGOs" that claim to be election monitoring organizations and say that they have been monitoring the pre-election environment for a long time. Part of the pre-election environment is the monitoring of party finances. For example, is any party financed from Russia or another country? Yesterday, I heard their comments that there is an anti-corruption bureau and that it looked after me, thereby absolving them of responsibility. First of all, thank you for showing trust in the Anti-Corruption Bureau; this is good. But the CEC also exists, so what is the need to observe them? Why do they refuse? This is their direct task. The grants they have now provide for monitoring the pre-election environment, including the monitoring of party finances. The refusal to do so is surprising, but if we investigate, we find something like this: the "European Endowment for Democracy" (EED) often appears in the direct or indirect funding scheme of these parties. If you see ISFED and others, they are also financed from this fund. The basis for this refusal is that it involves their donor, and they do not want to come forward to expose their own donor. This is the negative influence of foreign funding in the Georgian non-governmental sector. It is a fact that the opposition parties have created a scheme through fake NGOs to receive illegal donations. This is both an illegal donation and an illegal donation. We are talking about financing from abroad. As it turned out, a large part of the opposition is directly financed from abroad. Given that we have an election year, this is equivalent to foreign interference in Georgian elections. Foreign interference is one of the threats expected in these elections. This threat comes primarily from Russia, but I emphasize, it doesn't matter where the intervention comes from - the territory of Russia, the territory of the European Union, or the territory of the United States of America, any intervention is interference in the choice of the Georgian people and it is a Russian style. Therefore, I once again call on the donors who are part of this hidden scheme that hide their funding, I will name one - the European Endowment for Democracy, which has covered its own expenses in Georgia, appears to directly fund political parties and interfere in elections. The proper holding of elections is one of the parts of the 9 points, and we cannot deal with this problem alone - the European Union, its representation, the European Commission must intervene here. If our common will is for elections to be honest, it is necessary to ban and stop direct or indirect funding of parties in Georgia from European channels, including Russian channels. This is the responsibility of the European Union, and if the funding of the parties is not stopped, it will harm the elections and interfere with the choices of the Georgian people. Foreign money has nothing to do with Georgian politics and pre-election campaigning, and such financing should be stopped. I appeal to all donors, all embassies to pay attention so that not a single cent of theirs ends up in the party piggy bank," - said the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia.
Another issue touched upon by the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia is the so-called LGBT propaganda. It should be noted that the rest of the members of the parliamentary majority speak with the same rhetoric, which is considered part of the pre-election campaign in the opposition or expert circles. This discussion has been initiated by the rulling party in Georgia and is about the internal memo published by the US Secretary Anthony Blinken to the empoyees, which does not refer to Georgia or other states. In particular, according to the New York Post, the Secretary of State encouraged staff to use gender-neutral terminology wherever possible to show respect and avoid misunderstandings.
"It is important that our society has a clear position on this matter. Based on this, some grants should not begin to flow slowly in order to encourage a focus on gender differentiation in Georgia. The idea is that gender must lose the importance and understanding it has always had among humans. Today, we may joke about who forbids us from calling the earth "the earth", but that is precisely what is happening. Even today, such issues are being discussed. There have been several curious situations. For example, the Prime Minister of Canada used the word "mankind" and was criticized because the word "man" in "mankind" is of the male gender, and it was argued that this word should not be used. Unfortunately, there is a serious debate on such absurdities. We may find humor in this topic today, but there is nothing amusing about it, and a clear stance is necessary. Among them, it is important that non-governmental organizations must have a clear position on this because, as our experience shows, it is through them that such narratives are brought into the Georgian discourse," said the Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia.
In response to this statement by Speaker Shalva Papuashvili, when asked by the media, the US ambassador to Georgia, Robin Dunnigan, responded, saying, "I'm surprised at the attention that the internal State Department memo has received here". 
"I have to say I'm surprised at the attention that the internal State Department memo has received here, because that is an internal memo to the State Department, helping people in the State Department, who wanted to be more inclusive in the workplace,  find ways to talk about that. I will say that it has nothing to do with Georgia. It's nothing that we published here in Georgia, but what it's really about is helping people in the State Department be more inclusive. As for the language, the Georgian language also doesn't have "he" and "she" which I think is interesting. I am a proud mother, a proud wife, a proud sister. My children, my parents, I think that we all should strive to use language that treats others with respect", - Said US ambassador to Georgia, Robin Dunnigan.
