Mamuka Mdinaradze, the head of the ruling Georgian Dream party in the Parliament, on Friday addressed concerns over a forthcoming legislative initiative by his faction aimed at safeguarding the public from what he termed as “pseudo-liberal ideology” and its potential negative ramifications. 

Mdinaradze emphasized the importance of striking a balance between protecting individual rights and preventing the dissemination of “harmful propaganda”. 

In response to anticipated criticism from the “radical opposition”, Mdinaradze clarified the initiative was not intended to stifle free speech or infringe upon rights and stressed the need to find a middle ground that enhanced rights protection while safeguarding future generations from “detrimental propaganda”.

The MP further anticipated opposition claims of censorship and likening the initiative to a “Russian approach”, characterizing such assertions as propaganda tactics. He emphasized the importance of distinguishing between “genuine rights protection” and “manipulative propaganda”.

“We must be vigilant in distinguishing between genuine rights protection and propaganda masquerading as such,” Mdinaradze asserted and called for collective efforts in addressing this challenge and urged a “clear differentiation between rights advocacy and propagandistic agendas.
