Well done the people of Georgia, take your country back.

[@GwynBleys]

How is allowing foreign agents to operate on your soil unregistered is taking your country back? It doesnt make any sense

[@dzonikg]

You have same law in west but dont complain??

[@Darkseidsolosfiction]

​@@dzonikgPutin also has it and Georgian government is going to use it just like Putin does. Shut up

[@pcopeland15]

Why does this not get more media attention?

[@HisameArtwork]

same reason all that's happening in Africa thanks to russia isn't getting headlines either. far away and trump and brexit are more recognizable tv shows. ppl watch marvel films not maltese indie films. Until Macron made a fuss about it nobody cared what was going on in Africa to former european colonies and I'd argue much of Europe still doesn't care no matter how much it affects us. Ukraine is burning closer to home and we don't do much about it either.

[@pcopeland15]

@@HisameArtwork It was sort of a rhetorical question. I agree with you.

[@dzonikg]

@@HisameArtwork Macron sad that becase he is losing colonies in Africa ,Russia was just a tool for that Africa countries finally get rid off France which keep them in total poverty

[@williamlavallee8916]

No mention in mainstream news. that's pathetic, even in the EU.

[@markmarco6277]

What foreign agent law? Why is it controversial? Explain.

[@Ukie88]

Georgia government can’t seem to free itself from orc control. How did people put them there?

[@roberthoyt7921]

That so-called 'foreign agent' bill should NEVER have been reintroduced to begin with. However, it should NEVER have come into existence to begin with as well. 'Georgian Dream' ought to step aside and surrender power to the Georgian masses once and for all. That 'bill' likened to the one from Russia back in 2012 should NEVER be signed into law at all.

[@Ukie88]

The authorities are afraid of their people and Putin their benefactor. This will not end well. Time is up kremlin land.

[@meme3395]

Wouldn't this law expose Russian-sponsored organisations, too? What's the problem?

[@theraiderra8798]

Russians would of course not be considered "Foreign Agents".

[@NO_NAME_722]

So this is a good law for the state, it limits the interference of foreign countries in Georgia's internal affairs.

[@leoplaate1165]

If you have such an "important" message why do you call yourself @NO_NAME_772 ??

[@terrylomax6799]

Russian democracy

[@TheLeontheking]

Maybe I misunderstand it, but in part this law seems to make sense to me. Clearly it can be in the interest of a country and its citizens to know where foreign investments come from? Could help against sellout of the country to some third party?

[@paulmatthews5255]

The Georgian government have already sold themselves to Russia

[@privetdrug143]

In russia we have same law, it working stupid, if somebody donated you from other country, then you will be foreign agent

[@TheLeontheking]

But this news-agency has its backgrounds in anti-communism and neo-liberalism, so I guess from a globalist free-trader perspective this law is something to abolish.

[@PaxHeadroom]

The law is being pushed by Kremlin actors within the country. It's not about foreign investment, it's about communication with people outside Georgia.

[@GwynBleys]

​@@PaxHeadroom Did Kremlin push it to every western country too? It exists in US and Australia for example... KZbin requires to disclose if poster is sponsored by any government... read the line under this very video. You people are ether trolls or clueless

[@NiCo.B]

Protest should be illegal

[@martinwatts3796]

Sanction Georgian Dream government (really Nightmare) in its entirety, especially Boa Ivanishvili - you listening USA / EU?
