**Bidzina Ivanishvili’s Priorities Under Scrutiny**
In a scathing commentary, Irakli Kupradze, the general secretary of “Lelo – Strong Georgia,” has criticized Bidzina Ivanishvili, the honorary chairman of “Georgian Dream.” According to Kupradze, Ivanishvili’s primary concern is his own financial interests and the possibility of recovering his finances. This, says Kupradze, comes at a cost to Georgia’s national and state interests.
**Exploiting National Interests for Personal Gain**
Kupradze’s comments follow a statement issued by Ivanishvili, in which he attempts to shift blame and avoid responsibility for the policies implemented through “Georgian Dream.” Kupradze sees this as a classic case of exploiting Georgia’s national interests for personal gain. He argues that Ivanishvili’s actions demonstrate a clear disregard for the country’s well-being and a sole focus on protecting his own financial interests.
**Avoiding Accountability**
The criticism from Kupradze centers around Ivanishvili’s attempts to avoid meeting with Western partners and evading responsibility for the criminal policies carried out through “Georgian Dream.” This, says Kupradze, is a clear indication of Ivanishvili’s true priorities. By shirking accountability, Ivanishvili is able to maintain his grip on power while furthering his own financial interests at the expense of Georgia’s national and state interests.
