Georgian President Vets Out Controversial Foreign Influence Legislation

ai generated text

Georgia's Parliament passed a "foreign influence" bill, despite widespread protests and opposition from Brussels. The legislation was approved in three readings by Georgian Dream lawmakers, who are expected to override President Salome Zourabichvili's veto when the Parliament reconvenes on May 28. Zourabichvili had previously vetoed the bill, citing concerns over its compatibility with Georgia's bid for EU membership. Brussels has also expressed similar reservations, warning that the measure could undermine Tbilisi's European Union aspirations. The protests against the bill have been unprecedented in recent Georgian history, sparking a wave of demonstrations across the country.

    1. Today I set a veto... on the law, which is Russian in its essence, and which contradicts our constitution.

    1. EU member countries are very clear that if this law is adopted it will be a serious obstacle for Georgia in its European perspective.
