**US Shows Strong Support for Georgia’s Democratic Future**
The “MEGOBARI Act” has passed the US House of Representatives, demonstrating bipartisan support from American lawmakers for Georgia’s democratic future. The vote is a significant step towards holding accountable those responsible for democratic backsliding in the country.
The bill aims to sanction individuals who have contributed to the erosion of democracy in Georgia and the increasing influence of Russia, China, and Iran. It also calls for the release of political prisoners and targets family members and relatives involved in corrupt activities.
**A Message to Ivanishvili’s Regime**
The passage of the “MEGOBARI Act” sends a clear message to the Georgian government: international partners will not tolerate anti-democratic processes. The rhetoric from President Ivanishvili and his regime, suggesting that the US might accept Georgia’s current state and recognize its legitimacy, is nothing but propaganda.
**A New Era for US-Georgia Relations**
The vote marks an important milestone in US-Georgia relations. It shows that American lawmakers are committed to supporting Georgia’s democratic future and holding accountable those who have undermined it. This development bodes well for the country’s future and sends a strong message to those responsible for its current state.
**What’s Next?**
The “FRIEND Act” is expected to pass through remaining procedures soon, which will put further pressure on those responsible for Georgia’s democratic backsliding. Pro-Western political forces fighting for Georgia’s democratic transformation are confident that this development will bring significant support for their cause and undermine the authority of Ivanishvili’s regime.
As the statement from the “Coalition for Change” notes, the passage of these bills is a crucial step towards holding accountable those responsible for Georgia’s current state and ensuring its democratic future.
