No wonder the West is against that "foreign agents bill". NED and US Agency involvement everywhere... (transparency.ge)

Just found the link below in a newspaper (derstandard.at) comment section, the article is about the election results in Georgia.

Their press release looks supicious. As if it's there to be pointed at when western news need something to discredit the election process...

I find it hilarious to watch libs do mental gymnastics to explain why transparency in funding is bad actually.

No no you see, transparency in funding is super important actually

For non-us backed companies/orgs/states of course.

that's right because if it's evil when it's non-US origin, and we don't have to worry about US ones because they're good and wholesome by their very nature

Interesting: if a link doesn’t have a URI scheme then Lemmy will prepend it with “https://lemmygrad.ml/post/”, making, “https://lemmygrad.ml/post/civil.ge”.

Valid link: https://civil.ge/
