Georgia’s president has vetoed an egregiously pro-Putin “foreign agents” law, but the ruling party promoting it will be able to override the veto and says it plans to do.

The bill could jeopardize Georgia’s recent application to join the EU. -

'We left Russia, but Putinism followed us'. Russian immigrants on why they've joined the mass protests against Georgia's 'foreign agents' law

‘We left Russia, but Putinism followed us’ Russian immigrants on why they’ve joined the mass protests against Georgia’s ‘foreign agents’ law — Meduza

On Tuesday, Georgia’s parliament approved its controversial bill on “transparency of foreign influence” in its third and final reading, bringing it closer than ever to becoming law. The vote followed weeks of demonstrations against the bill, which opponents refer to as a “Russian law” for its similarity to Moscow’s own repressive law on “foreign agents.” Barring any unforeseen changes, Georgian media outlets and other non-government organizations that receive more than 20 percent of their financing from foreign donors will soon be required to register as “foreign agents.” The issue has sharply divided Georgian society: proponents say the bill is an important transparency measure, while experts and politicians both in Georgia and abroad have warned that it will give the government grounds to restrict the activities of anyone who opposes the ruling Georgian Dream party, weakening the country’s democracy and putting its prospects for E.U. accession in doubt. But not all of the bill’s protesters are Georgian: many of the Russians who fled to Georgia after facing repressions back at home feel they have a duty to support the movement against the new law. They spoke to Meduza about their experiences.
