Society has witnessed how, the moment the radical opposition received a one-off favor from its foreign masters in the form of sanctions against Imedi and PosTV, they began, with a unified message, to assert the absurd: that the government and Georgia`s free media were supposedly on the verge of collapse. Such a statement made today the Prime Minister of Georgia.

"This is yet another act of lustration and, at the same time, the tragedy of these individuals: in their view, it is not the Georgian people but external forces that must determine Georgia`s fate, because they have zero chance or hope of receiving support from the population of our country.

By external force is naturally meant that force which gives instructions to the local agency whilst simultaneously assuring them that now and in the future, upon unconditional execution of those instructions, it will help them come to power, though they must work not for Georgia but for its interests. Whether we refer to these forces as the `Deep State,` the `Global War Party,` or oligarchic dynasties, the fact remains that it is precisely such informal networks that are embedded within the European bureaucracy", - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
