Gruzijski parlament izglasao kontroverzni zakon o "inozemnim agentima"

GEORGIA PROTEST PARLIAMENT FOREIGN AGENT BILL

epa11367131 Georgian opposition party supporters attend a rally against a bill on 'foreign agents' in downtown Tbilisi, Georgia, 24 May 2024. On May 14, the Georgian Parliament adopted the law 'On Transparency of Foreign Influence'. Since its initiation in parliament in April by the ruling Georgian Dream party, this law has caused an extremely negative reaction from opposition forces, who believe that it is aimed at stigmatizing non-governmental organizations and free media that are not controlled by the authorities. The EU and the US called on the Georgian authorities to withdraw this law and warned that its adoption would close Georgia's path to the EU. Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili vetoed this law on 18 May. The procedure for overcoming the veto in the Georgian parliament is supposed to take place on 28 May. EPA/DAVID MDZINARISHVILI
