Le secrétaire d’Etat américain, Antony Blinken, a également condamné la « répression violente » du mouvement de contestation pro-Union européenne d’ampleur qui a lieu depuis un mois, et qu’il impute au parti au pouvoir Rêve géorgien, dont Bidzina Ivanichvili est le fondateur.
The main idea of the text is that the United States has imposed sanctions on Bidzina Ivanishvili, a wealthy oligarch and the de facto ruler of Georgia, for undermining Georgian democracy, human rights, and its pro-Western aspirations.
The US government accuses Ivanishvili and his ruling Georgian Dream party of cracking down on pro-European protests and weakening democratic institutions in favor of Russia.
Both the US and the EU are concerned about Georgia's potential slide towards authoritarianism, similar to Vladimir Putin's Russia.
