Georgian politicians and experts continue to discuss the contents of the letter of Marcwein Mullin to the Georgian Prime Minister Georgy Gakharia. The politician’s message expressed concern about Georgia’s departure from democracy and the pursuit of American business interests in Georgia. As an example, the American company Frontera is named.
This is not the first “Georgian” initiative of this American politician. In April last year, a Republican introduced a bill to the House of Representatives of the US Congress that received the working title, the 2019 Sanctions Act on Good Business Practices of Georgia.
The current message is directly addressed to the Georgian government. “As a member of the House and Energy Committee on Energy and Trade, I sent this letter to the Prime Minister of Georgia, where I expressed my concern about the worsening economic climate for US energy companies,” Markwane Mullin wrote on Twitter on January 19.
The message goes on to say:
“... I join the recent letter from my colleagues Adam Kinsinger and Gary Connolly in Congress, expressing concern about the decision of the [Georgian Dream] to abandon the promised democratic reforms. [...] in recent years there has been a steady negative trend of deterioration in indicators of a democratic and free market economy, ”the congressman writes and reinforces his arguments with a concrete example:
“The result is a reduction in foreign direct investment in Georgia, an excellent example of which is the oil and gas company Frontera Resources from Texas,” the letter emphasized.
In opposition, the mention of the company was ignored. One of the leaders of the "National Movement" Grigol Vashadze said that in fact the letter contains a sharp form of warning to the "Georgian Dream".
“Since the end of last year, editorials from leading publications in Washington and New York have been full of criticism of a group that calls itself the Georgian government. It’s time for these people to realize that Georgia has moved away from the path of development, dotted with tears, blood, sweat, finances and the political will of our strategic partners. ”
The head of "Democratic Georgia" Nino Burjanadze says that the "Georgian Dream" has lost the support of its Western partners:
“The West has included a countdown for the Georgian Dream.” It’s not about direct interference in the displacement of power, but about the fact that the democratic demands of the opposition will find support in the West. ”
In turn, the authorities believe that the American congressman is the lobbyist of the American company Frontera:
“It is no secret that lobbying in the USA is absolutely legal and transparent. This politician receives money for supporting the interests of the company. I think it’s not very ethical to use political influence for the interests of a virtually bankrupt company, ”concluded Andria Gvidiani.
