For some reason, I've been asked to repost this, so here it is:
"Republican Member of the US Congress, Markuin Malin, addressed an open letter to the head of the Georgian government, Giorgi Gakharia. The congressman calls on the Georgian government to stop its hostility towards American companies.
As Malin writes in the letter, he is concerned about continued deviation from Georgia's democratic values ??and economic deterioration.
"As a member of Congress, I write to you about my growing concern about the continuing deviation from Georgia's democratic values ??and the associated economic deterioration.
With this in mind, I am joining a letter from my colleagues in Congress, Chairmen of the Friends of Georgia, Adam Kinsinger and Gary Connol, dated December 13, addressing concerns about the widespread democratic reform decision and concerns about the use of violence against the protest.
Despite the progress Georgia has made since independence in 1991, there has been a steady negative trend in the indicators of a democratic and free market economy in recent years, which has not gone unnoticed in the United States. The result is a decline in FDI in Georgia, as American and European business interests have been subjected to attacks in Georgia for oppression and expropriation. An excellent example of this is the oil and gas company Frontera Resources, Texas. Moreover, US social media company Facebook said it had recently closed a wide network of accounts linked to the Georgian Dream party and appeared to be engaged in coordinated, non-contentious behavior to stifle opposition views in Georgia and spread anti-Western sentiment, particularly in the US - min The opposite.
Such a deteriorating environment is also reflected in the House of Representatives as well as the Senate and the president approved a two-row, the annual budget law in 2019 and 2020, the Government of progressive actions hostile to democratic values, free market principles and reflect the concerns of the American business against a.
For the first time in modern Georgian history, your country was viewed in the negative light and cautiously when discussing US budget laws.
In view of the negative trend I have described and to help stop this trend, concerns have been raised as well as calls for sanctions and other punitive measures. I join this call for reform and file an Act of Honest Business Practices in Georgia with the US House of Representatives earlier this year.
I hope that Georgia will continue to be America's strategic partner for many more years. I also hope that your government will stop aggressive action against American companies and act quickly on concerns about the threat to democracy and economic prosperity that the Georgian people deserve so much, "Congressman Malin wrote."
