Mariam Lashkhi: NGO Nation - Who Speaks for Georgia?

Mariam Lashkhi is a representative of the Georgian Dream Party
and a member of the Georgian Parliament.


A strong civil society is required as a balance to state power in
a healthy democracy. However, what happens when civil society is
represented by "non-governmental organisations" (NGOs) that are
financed by foreign governments with strong geopolitical
interests? On the dividing lines of a redivided Europe, Georgia
finds itself with thousands of "NGO's" financed by Western
governments, many with close cooperation with foreign
intelligence services. The government in Georgia passed an NGO
transparency law, which was immediately denounced in the West as
a "Russian law". While the government of Georgia has no
diplomatic relations with Russia and aspires to join NATO, it is
nonetheless dismissed as "pro-Russian" after refusing to join the
fighting against Russia. As the Prime Minister of Georgia warned,
the NGOs are used by the US to topple the government so a second
front can be opened against Russia.Follow Prof. Glenn
