  2. “Several hundred protesters gathered outside the Georgian parliament on Monday as ruling party legislators on the judicial committee looked set to advance a controversial bill on “foreign agents” criticized by Western countries.

    The ruling Georgian Dream party said earlier this month it would reintroduce legislation requiring organizations that accept funds from abroad to register as foreign agents or face fines, 13 months after protests forced it to shelve the plan.

    The bill has been criticized by European countries and the United States. The European Union, which gave Georgia candidate status in December, has said the move is incompatible with the bloc’s values.

    Georgian critics have labelled it “the Russian law,” comparing it to similar legislation used by the Kremlin to crack down on dissent in Russia.” – Voice of America ([https://www.voanews.com/a/hundreds-of-georgians-protest-as-parliament-set-to-advance-foreign-agent-bill/7570352.html](https://www.voanews.com/a/hundreds-of-georgians-protest-as-parliament-set-to-advance-foreign-agent-bill/7570352.html))

  3. ALL GEORGIANS : I WILL FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO JOIN THE 6 NATIONS AND THE BLACK LIONS TO JOIN THE URC IF YOU GET THE RUSSIANS TO BACK OFF!

  7. In Russia I guess that is “the west” that’s interfering. Can’t actually be people who don’t want to be a part of Russia can it?

  9. “Russian law”

    The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) (22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq.) is a United States law that imposes public disclosure obligations on persons representing foreign interests.

    bruh

  10. Good for Georgia. I just afraid of Russian oppositioners to hijack the protest and drive it in absolutely soft and indecisive way. They’ve already done it in Belarus in 2020 and there are now a lot of anti-Putin Russians in Georgia.

    I don’t mean that this Russians are Kremlin agents or something. They are just very bad in protesting and simultaneously think that they are very good in protesting(typical Russian thinking). So their influence may be was done in Belarus with good heart but eventually contribute to the fail of protests.

  13. So, question to NATO and EU members, will you sacrifice Georgia to ruzia too?

  15. So i read the article. It failed to explain to me why the law is so opposed to European values. Can anyone explain it to me? Like those NGO’s won’t be banned right. They’ll just get a sponsored by countryname trademark or something.

  16. Yeano what THIS IS HOW IT STARTED IN UKRAINE IN 2012.

    Russia did the exact same thing there…. before we knew it, there where incursions in Eastern Ukraine Donna’s, with “sepratists” all from Russia…

    I remember watching locals being tied to posts and whipped and then taken off to be shot because they where drug dealers… wasn’t the case they where an affluence to the Ukrainian public. Therefore murdered by Russia.

  19. Why do they want to become a part of EU? Western Europe is already full of cheap labor from eastern Europe. There are also many countries in Europe that produce a lot of food, Europe does not need a 3-world country. Ukraine is not even allowed to sell grain to Europe, as there are competitors in eastern Europe who are members of the EU.

  21. Since the Russians always play wrong, it would be appropriate to arm paramilitaries there. Let the devil take the Russians.

  22. >get Invaded by Russia

    >lose two pieces of your territory

    >decide to still simp for russia

    Glad Georgians are taking actions against this shit, couldn’t imagine selling out your own fucking people for a warmongerer

  23. I once heard a Georgian mercenary, who had fought for Ukraine, say he didn’t hate the Russian government, because they were just doing their job, but he hated the Russian people because they were Russian, and there was 400 years of history between them.
