**MEGOBARI Act: A Blow to Perpetrators and Their Enablers**
The United National Movement member Khatia Dekanoidze has weighed in on the impact of the MEGOBARI Act, a bill recently approved by the U.S. House of Representatives. According to Dekanoidze, this legislation will have far-reaching consequences for years to come, affecting not just the perpetrators themselves but also officials, bureaucrats, public servants, prosecutors, judges, and representatives of state institutions who enabled them.
**A Stronger Act Than Its Predecessor**
Dekanoidze notes that even businesses financing Ivanishvili’s government will not be able to escape the Act’s consequences. In fact, she draws a comparison with the Patrick Leahy Act, which was applied to the Yanukovych government in Ukraine. However, Dekanoidze emphasizes that MEGOBARI is a much stronger legislation.
**The Stigma of Russian Subjugation**
Dekanoidze takes aim at those who still fail to understand the stigma of living under Ivanishvili’s Russian subjugation. She writes on Facebook, “They still fail to realize what a stigma it is to be under Ivanishvili’s Russian subjugation.” This commentary highlights the ongoing tensions between Georgia and Russia, with Dekanoidze emphasizing that the MEGOBARI Act will have significant repercussions for those who perpetuate this relationship.
**The Road Ahead**
Now that the bill has passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, it must be approved by the U.S. Senate before becoming law. If enacted, the MEGOBARI Act will undoubtedly send a strong message to perpetrators and their enablers, emphasizing accountability and independence for Georgia. As Dekanoidze’s comments demonstrate, this legislation has significant implications for the country’s future.
