United National Movement accuses Abkhazia Council of corruption
Opposition members from the United National Movement, including Ani Tsitlidze and Beso Shengeliya, have confronted the Supreme Council of Abkhazia. They accused the council of corruption and failing to address the needs of displaced persons despite receiving over 80 million GEL in state funding. Tsitlidze specifically criticized the council's silence regarding the potential import of fuel into occupied Abkhazia, alleging that the ruling Georgian Dream party is facilitating these imports for Russian military use.
In separate political developments, Lasha Farulava of the United National Movement criticized the Georgian Dream party, stating they have lost the political right to speak and are relying on repression and terror to maintain power. In response, Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili addressed the issue of political prisoners, describing those currently incarcerated as 'prisoners of shamelessness' who were led to break the law by others.
