Georgia's State Security Service has launched an investigation into an alleged plot to assassinate Bidzina Ivanishvili, the honorary chairman of the ruling Georgian Dream party, and to violently overthrow the government. The investigation targets former government officials, with local media reporting that at least six individuals, including those who fought against Russia in Ukraine, have been questioned. This development follows growing tensions in Georgia over a controversial 'foreign agents' law, which critics argue brings the nation closer to Russia. Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze attributed the alleged plot to 'global political forces' but provided no direct evidence linking these forces to the investigation. Ivanishvili, a billionaire and significant political figure, has denied accusations of steering Georgia towards Moscow, asserting the government's intent to pursue European Union membership. The investigation raises concerns about the stability of democracy in Georgia, especially with elections approaching in October.
