Georgian Protesters Demand Ruling Party To 'Back Down' On 'Foreign Agents' Law

Georgian protesters called on the government to withdraw its controversial "foreign agents" bill, which would require organizations with foreign funding to register their activities. For a third straight day, thousands rallied on April 17 outside parliament, which was surrounded by police.

[@jimg2850]

The biggest Foreign power influencer in Georgia doesn't seem worried by this. Which is kind of odd.

Dinosaurs still in charge, but weakening as we speak.

[@X-jn87ybt]

Isn't the US has the same law in force? Ok never mind the French citizen the president of Georgia will definitely veto this if passed.

[@delpinsky]

Trolling around?

[@WonderfulSpaceship-sx3nx]

Lolzlozlolz .. the united states has the same legislation. Foreign Agents Registration Act.

[@dshaw8356]

My understanding is that the US has something similar.

[@Siranoxz]

This is not about the similarity, this is about Russia infiltrating into Georgian politics to close any loopholes and preventing Georgia to move closer to the EU. The bill allows Russia to directly intervene with Georgia´s EU ambitions.
