News about bill, Georgia

#Georgia: yesterday, the @Geoparliament rejected President @Zourabichvili_S's veto & passed the “foreign agents” law. RSF denounces an appalling regression in press freedom. This freedom-destroying law modeled on Russian legislation must be repealed! rsf.org/en/protests-georgia-rsf-concerned-rising-police-violence-against-reporters pic.twitter.com/pjUkRxVxBa

A sad day for Georgia and Europe. The 🇬🇪 Parliament has override the President's veto on „foreign agent law“'. I stand with all Georgians fighting peacefully for freedom, democracy and dignity. Don’t forget: „when they go low, we go high.“ Don’t give up. Elections come soon.

For us politicians it’s crucial, to listen to our people carefully. The message of the Georgian people is crystal clear: Stop the foreign agent law! Dear colleagues of the 🇬🇪Parliament, Take the chance today! Bring your great country back on track. The future of 🇬🇪 is 🇪🇺!

The UK is deeply concerned at the overturning of the Presidential veto on the Transparency of Foreign Influence law. We remain of the view that the law represents a backwards step that will actively harm Georgia’s efforts to integrate with Euro-Atlantic institutions.
