Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Botchorishvili has praised the Georgian Parliament's unanimous condemnation of the Mobilizing and Enhancing Georgia’s Options for Building Accountability, Resilience, and Independence Act (MEGOBARI Act), which passed with 87 votes in favor and none against.

In a statement, Botchorishvili described the parliamentary response as “a logical and correct step” in addressing the U.S. House of Representatives' adoption of the MEGOBARI Act. She emphasized that the act, which includes provisions for sanctions against Georgian officials accused of undermining democracy, was viewed by the Georgian legislature as “fundamentally flawed, biased, and hostile” toward Georgia.

The MEGOBARI Act, passed by the U.S. House on May 5, 2025, aims to strengthen democratic practices and human rights in Georgia while countering authoritarian influences, particularly from Russia. It mandates sanctions against Georgian officials responsible for actions deemed detrimental to democracy and security, including those involved in the adoption of a Russian-style foreign agents law. The act also requires reports on improper influence and sanctions evasion within Georgia.

Botchorishvili's endorsement of Parliament's stance underscores Georgia's commitment to defending its sovereignty and democratic processes in the face of external pressures.
