**US Supports Democratic Georgia**
The people of Georgia and those fighting for a democratic future have strong support from the United States. This is according to Eka Gigauri, Executive Director of Transparency International.
Gigauri made these comments in response to a new law being introduced in the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The law is called the MEGOBARI Act. It aims to help Georgia fight corruption and protect human rights.
The fact that the US is paying attention to Georgia’s situation is important, said Gigauri. She noted that both Republicans and Democrats in the US support Georgia’s democratic future. This shows that Georgia has strong international backing.
**What Does the MEGOBARI Act Do?**
The law contains several key points. It allows for sanctions against individuals who are involved in corruption or human rights violations. It also addresses other issues that threaten Georgia’s democracy.
Gigauri welcomed the introduction of the MEGOBARI Act. She encouraged the ruling party in Georgia to think about the strong support they have from the US.
