Georgian authorities criticize US sanctions

Sanctions against Georgian citizens do not harm Georgia, but the reputation of the United States itself. This was stated by the executive secretary of the ruling Georgian Dream party, Mamuka Mdinaradze.

"On the one hand, this is an insult to the police, and on the other hand, an attempt to influence the choice and will of the Georgian people, an attempt to interfere in the Georgian elections through informal influence," Mamuka Mdinaradze emphasized.

The day before, the United States imposed financial sanctions against the head of the Special Purpose Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia, Zviad Kharazishvili, and his deputy, Mileri Lagazauri. The reason is the brutal suppression of freedom of speech, the dispersal of protests against the law on foreign agents.

In addition, the US State Department plans to take additional measures to introduce visa restrictions for more than 60 Georgian citizens and their family members. They include senior government officials, law enforcement officials, members of parliament and others "responsible for undermining democracy in Georgia or involved in nuclear activities."
