The Georgian Parliament will consider similar to the American bill on foreign agents

The bill was initiated by the ruling Georgian Dream Democratic Georgia party. “It has already been initiated. Next week we will start reviewing the project. Everyone will see that this is an accurate translation. - Editor's note. If someone has any complaints about any word, point, comma in the text, let him turn to the United States of America and say that he does not like the American system, the law on foreign agents was adopted by Georgia in May 2024. It differs from similar US law in that it does not apply to individuals, only applies to non-profit organizations and media that receive more than 20% of revenues from other countries. The adoption of the law by the Georgian parliament sparked numerous protests, and Salome Zurabishvili, then the country’s president, tried to overturn the bill with a veto and appeals to the courts. The United States also reacted to the law, suspending the allocation of multimillion-dollar aid to the Georgian government. After a series of statements by US President Donald Trump about the corruption of the agency for international development (USAID) in February this year, Papuashvili said that people who criticized parliament for passing the law on foreign agents should apologize.
