The Georgian Anti-Corruption Bureau has classified Transparency International Georgia and its head as entities ‘with a declared electoral goal’, ordering them to submit financial declarations to the Bureau within five days. The decision on Tuesday also labelled Vote for Europe under the same classification. The group was created in July after the government passed the foreign agent law to mobilise Georgians to cast their votes on 26 October. They have been highly critical of the ruling party.
