**US Congress Passes MEGOBARI Act, Georgia’s Ruling Party Loses Support**
The US Congress has passed the MEGOBARI Act, a move that is expected to be followed by the Senate and signed into law by President Trump. This development has been welcomed by Petre Tsiskarishvili, Secretary General of Georgia’s opposition party Unity National Movement.
According to Tsiskarishvili, the passage of this act shows that the Georgian Dream government, which has been critical of US support for Georgia, is losing its grip on power. “The self-proclaimed regime thinks that they can somehow avoid consequences by suspending European integration,” he said in a statement. “But they are mistaken.”
Tsiskarishvili emphasized that Europe and the United States share common values and work together to promote democracy and stability. Therefore, when Georgia’s ruling party stopped pursuing European integration, it also lost its support from the US.
**Open Letters Won’t Help**
The Georgian Dream government has been trying to salvage its reputation by sending open letters and spending resources on PR efforts. However, according to Tsiskarishvili, these efforts are in vain. “Whatever open letters there are, whatever resources they spend, everything is in vain,” he said.
**Opposition Party Wins Support**
Meanwhile, the delegation of the Unity National Movement continues its official visit to Washington, where party leaders are meeting with US lawmakers and holding bilateral meetings in Congress and Senate. This development suggests that the opposition party is winning support from the international community and gaining momentum ahead of next year’s parliamentary elections.
**What Does This Mean for Georgia?**
The passage of the MEGOBARI Act has significant implications for Georgia. It shows that the country’s ruling party, which has been criticized for its authoritarian tendencies, is losing its grip on power. The act also sends a strong message to Georgia’s government that it must respect democratic values and pursue European integration if it wants to maintain good relations with the US.
