I am surprised they’re folding, though. EU is actually toothless in this case – there’s nothing non-symbolic EU could seriously do to help the Georgians especially if Russians invaded and by all accounts the current government is very much captured by Russians. I guess it’s a testament to how far the reputation of Russian army has sunk in the region and the calculus that the Georgians have made that the Russians won’t invade like they did in 2008. In case they do invade, EU and NATO needs Turkish cooperation to transmit any supplies and equipment which might be a problem.
This was close enough to Maidan so those vatniks got scared
Good job Georgia, rising up against unfolding dictatorship is a heroic act. If only Russians would do the same…
Beautiful! Keep fighting for your freedom and rights. Looking forward for you joining the EU sometime in the future.
Congratulations and felicitations.
Congratulations!
Victory!
Bravo, it’s a true democracy when the vox populi prevails. Keep it strong, Georgians.
Very good, Georgia! I hope they’re not withdrawing it just for a bit to calm down the protests and then reintroducing it under a different name or some manipulative shit like that.
This is good news but now there should be an early election.
Well done! Stay strong!
> The bill would have required media and nongovernmental organizations that receive over 20% of their funding from foreign sources to register as “agents of foreign influence.”
Wait, so we’re celebrating that foreign entities can now freely influence Georgian politics in secret? That doesn’t look sus at all.
