The Georgian regime is an example of the internal seizure of the state by the Kremlin, and this could also happen to EU members if we do not stop this infection in time, said MEP Rasa Juknevičienė, the European Parliament’s permanent rapporteur on Georgia, said at the meeting of the European People’s Party.

A report tailored to the interests of the Russian occupying state was prepared on behalf of the State Security Service of Georgia, the report is a carrier of Moscow’s interests, and not Georgia’s, Ana Natsvlishvili, a member of the coalition Lelo – Strong Georgia, said responding to the report of the State Security Service.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is working on regulating the employment of foreign migrants in the Georgian labor market and plans to submit a special initiative to the Parliament on the topic of labor migration in the near future.

The changes, unfortunately, were misinterpreted as is we had opened visa-free travel to Afghanistan and 16 other countries, which is a complete lie - there has never been and there are no plans to make such a decision, - said Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Aleksandre Darakhvelidze.

These searches and raids are completely unthinkable in a normal country, but we have long ceased to be considered normal countries - the regime is actually unable to cope with the situation and is only trying to strengthen itself by doing so, - the fifth President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, stated at the briefing, responding to the searches conducted yesterday in the houses of several fund managers.

Within the framework of the legislative amendments prepared by the government regarding foreign migrants, a new mechanism is being introduced, as a result of which, in a number of cases, the issue of granting asylum to a foreigner will be considered at the state border of Georgia without his/her entry into the territory of Georgia.

I don't know how celebratory the state of our defense forces is - our sovereignty, independence, and even our internal independence largely depend on their state, - the fifth President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, stated at the briefing today.

According to Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Aleksandre Darakhvelidze, currently there are between 20,000 and 25,000 illegal migrants in Georgia.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in order to study the current situation in the Korokhnali, Shukruti, Itkhvisi and Darkveti mines, representatives of the Georgian Manganese subsidiary, Chiatura Management Company LLC, together with specialists in the relevant field, will conduct monitoring.

Our heroic soldiers, you are the guarantor of Georgia's security and the foundation on which we must build a strong and peaceful future. I would like to wish you health, strength, fortitude and victory, - Mikhel Kavelashvili said in his speech at the event dedicated to the Day of the Defense Forces.

Being called a soldier of Georgia is both a great honor and a huge responsibility. Carrying this status with dignity requires great work and dedication, which is why a soldier of Georgia deserves the trust and love of people, - Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze noted in his speech at the event dedicated to the Day of the Defense Forces.

One seat in our delegation remains conspicuously empty, the seat that belonged to Georgia’s third president, Mikheil Saakashvili, a man who stood up to Putin in 2008, did not give up Georgia’s sovereignty, and for that courage is now serving his fourth year in political prison, Tina Bokuchava, chairwoman of the United National Movement, said in her speech at the European People’s Party (EPP) Congress.

The goal is to intimidate human rights organizations, they are the main target of these repressions, - Aleko Tskitishvili, director of the Human Rights Center, said in response to the searches conducted at the homes of several fund managers.

One of the leaders of the Coalition for Change, Nika Melia, who is accused of refusing to comply with the request of the Temporary Investigative Commission of the Georgian Parliament, was granted bail of 50,000 GEL as a preventive measure.

We, the undersigned representatives of civil society organizations in Georgia, condemn the coordinated searches conducted on April 29, 2025, at the homes of the heads of foundations. These actions are yet another attempt to instill fear and restrict independent civic activity, - representatives of non-governmental organizations say in a joint statement.

The regime may try to instill fear, but it will only strengthen our resolve, - the fifth President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, writes on the social platform X.
