Lawmakers in Georgia’s legislature have scuffled as the parliament started debating a divisive new law dubbed the foreign agent bill. Hours later, hundreds of people protested against the legislation outside the parliament in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi.
Protestors with a giant EU flag gather outside the parliament building in Tbilisi , Georgia, on Monday, April 15, 2024 to protest against the “the Russian law” as it is similar to a law that Russia uses to stigmatize independent news media and organizations seen as being at odds with the Kremlin.
Opponents of the measure denounce it as “the Russian law” because of similar legislation used by Moscow to stigmatize independent news media and organizations seen as being at odds with the Kremlin. Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze had a meeting Monday with the American, British and EU ambassadors to discuss the bill, the government said.
