Irakli Kupradze says that what the 'Lelo-Strong Georgia' coalition, along with other politicians, have been working on over the past months has reached a logical conclusion: the sanctioning of Ivanishvili as well as the imposition of his personal accountability

**Georgian Politicians Celebrate Victory Over Corruption**

For months and years, politicians in Georgia have been working tirelessly to bring justice to their country. Now, it seems that their efforts are finally paying off. The “Lelo – Strong Georgia” coalition and Foreign Secretary Grigol Gegelia have made significant progress in holding corrupt leaders accountable.

According to Irakli Kupradze, Secretary General of Lelo – Strong Georgia, the sanctioning of Bidzina Ivanishvili and his regime is a major breakthrough. Ivanishvili, a wealthy businessman, has been accused of using his influence to undermine Georgia’s democratic order.

**A Victory for Democracy**

Kupradze sees this development as a victory for democracy in Georgia. He believes that Ivanishvili and his regime will have to answer for all the crimes committed against the country’s citizens. This includes physical violence, destruction of the judicial system, persecution of opposition leaders, and more.

**International Support**

The passage of the “Friends of Georgia Act” by the U.S. Congress has given Georgian politicians a significant boost. The act aims to support civil life in Georgia and impose individual responsibility on Ivanishvili and his regime.

Kupradze notes that this international support is crucial in tightening personal sanctions against Ivanishvili. He believes that this will eventually force Ivanishvili to open negotiations, retreat, and prevent Georgia from becoming a zone of Russian influence.

**Economic Development**

A key issue driving the adoption of the “Friends of Georgia Act” is the construction of the Anaklia port. This project has significant economic implications for Georgia and is seen as a major driver for national development.

In conclusion, the sanctioning of Ivanishvili and his regime marks a significant victory for Georgian politicians and democracy in the country. With international support and a clear objective to impose personal responsibility on corrupt leaders, it seems that justice is finally being served in Georgia.
