Georgian speaker responds to OC Media with allegations of ‘skewed reporting’
After OC Media reported that Georgia’s parliamentary speaker, Shalva Papuashvili, had contacted the organisation’s donors regarding their rejection of his pitch, the speaker has responded directly to the organisation, while the party chair has defended his actions. In a letter sent to OC Media on 13 September, published in full at the end of the text, Papuashvili accused the organisation of engaging in ‘skewed journalism’ and maintaining poor journalistic standards.
