  • Mass protests continue as Georgia's parliament has voted through a divisive "foreign agent" law.
    Critics say the bill - which they call the "Russia law" - could be used to threaten civil liberties.
    However, the bill now faces a likely veto by Georgia's president, which the parliament in Tbilisi can override by holding an additional vote.

      Transparency is not the issue here. There are two main issues with this law: attaching label of “foreign influence” to organisations that contribute to development of civil society in Georgia and giving power to ministry of Justice to investigate any organisation and get hold of its members’ personal information on the basis of anonymous tips. Basically, it’s not just Russian law but a Bolshevik law essentially.

    How is the law any different from most other countries laws?
    The bill, which passed with 84 members of parliament out of 150 voting in favour, requires non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and media outlets with more than 20 percent of their funding coming from outside Georgia to register as bodies “pursuing the interests of a foreign power”.
    The new law is similar to transparency legislations in Western countries - such as the Foreign Agents Registration Act in the United States and similar directives planned in France and other European Union countries.
    Vietnam and Thailand have also passed similar laws banning N.G.O' s interfering in their society. African countries have done the same.
    The U.S , Australia and U.K for example fund the N.E.D and ASPI as well as other N.G.O 's to create unrest in other countries.
    From this article: Government-Funded NGOs, Linked To NATO, Are Interfering In European Elections
    NATO-funded and government-funded NGOs are working with government bodies to interfere in German elections. Their “influence operation” aims to keep Germany in line with American foreign policy objectives and undermine the European peace movement.

      Georgia can do the same.. they just won't be able to join the EU if they do. Modeling legislation on a 1938 bill to keep Nazis from influencing the US is... fine I guess. A bit outdated.
      The problem is that Georgia isn't trying to become the 51st US state. They're trying to become a part of the EU. And the EU (due to its emphasis on multinationalism) doesn't like laws like this. So really, it makes no sense to bring up the US law. If the US were part of the EU, I guess you'd have a point....

    The pplz in fact wush fir a closer & deeper ties with the EU & the Georgian govt has been veering towards the authoritarian Russian style reign, which has provoked a string protestarions from the pplz, a spintaneous protest, not orchestrated by any political party or a committee...!
    Do u really believe it to be so Salome...?
    Why do u think otherwise Boscavilky...?
    The 2008 Georgia-Russia coincided eerily with the cross border terrorist strike in Bombay...
    and although the nxt elections were won by the incumbents, very soon troubles began & the ruling party in Delhi began to sink in a morass of its own making, hibbled by the so called civilian protests, spntaneous protests, the commentators repeated & parroted only by those ie the youth, the white collared yuppie professionals in law, funance, health & medicine besides off course the grocers, traders, merchants, the Satodias, all never ever acting one way or other w/o a strong financial n /or otherwise strong benefit /incentive.... delivered to them in their pockets, un their bank accounts, in cash n /or in kind...
    the stereotype wall st MBA types besides the technocrats, clamouring for a "change".... u see Salime, the same highly well palced, financially secure, Mob /crowd & yet desperate for freebies,, movie tkts with big basket popcorn & pizza loaves, n /or free access to week end IPL post match bingo parties in luxury hotels hppned to be the most aggressive protestors, vociferously demanding, agitating for a change, on social media,....
    That was the social media boim time, Mark Zuckerberg mania fuelling the "change protestations" suitably rewarded, incentivised off course with feebies thrown at the youth, the massive demography dividend... crowd...!!!
    And now Georgian govt, is finally in the 3rd & final year of the end of the 3rd term when elektions are due, to be held few minths down the line...
    How can we aspire to hv the cake & eat it too Boscavilky...?
    Thats precisely what the Georgian govt has been progressively doing over the past 2 yrs... progressively choosing to ignore the EU & West protestations...
    has not the EU agreed to waive off the conditions reqd to be fulfilled enabling Georgia to be part of the EU at the earliest...?
    As for the so called spontaneous protests who's the billionnaire Georgian, politician who's made his billions in Russia, Salome...?
    Ivanishvilli, who emerged victorious against Sakashvilly in 2012...
    And which Russia do u allude to Salome, while u keep on referring to Russia vis a vis the EU n /or the US...?
    How many Russia's are there Boscavilky..?
    Isn't there a only Moscow/Kremlin...?
    True Salome a single Moscow /Kremlin n yet inhabited by....

    To anyone comparing this with FARA law! According to this law anyone can write down anonymous letter about suspicion that someone may be foreign agent and just submit it without any access procedure and government has rights to access any type of personal information about the suspected person or organisation
    In the end the fact is WE DON'T WANT RUSSIA!!!
    I will clarify, anyone means not only organisations but regular people who consume any type of western media, will it be books, movies, videos or news, consider most student fundings. stating any opposing opinion could also be considered being foreign agent because of influence. At any point it doesn't matter whether you are actually an organisation or just a citizen, whether you get support from any western country (and mind you Georgia heavily relies on western support, b/c government doesn't want to spend extra money for even cultural restorations :) so yea ), under just suspicion any citizen can be identified as single funded nonprofit organisation that didn't register itself :) there goes opposition what are we taking about then?
    ** In addition we ALREADY HAVE A TRANSPARENCY LAW THAT REGULATES SUCH ORGANISATIONS, GOVERNMENT TAKES INCOME FROM IT AS WELL, THERE IS NO NEED FOR ANOTHER VAGUE LAW THAT INVOLVES LABELING CITIZENS AS POTENTIAL AGENTS
    About anonymous letters, the process of labelling someone agent is entirely different from US. To my understanding in US government must first prove you are an agent and only after that it's possible to label someone as agent. According to "Russian law" the moment there is a suspicion you are an agent, you get labelled one and government doesn't not have any responsibility of defending you, you have to fend for yourself (majority can't afford living let alone hiring a lawyer)
    to add to that, if you are under suspicion legally you can't go on with your regular life for at least 6 months. It's silencing out voices and nothing else, the law isn't even legalized yet and people are being brutally beaten and silenced already. Many in hospitals with serious injuries, police are capturing people and then ganging up to beat them when it's not necessary!! They already removed the person from the protesting scene why beat them?! Why send gangs to our houses and beat us for opposing opinion?! yet our government lies in our faces that police do what they have to and beating people up in pulp doesn't go against anything, if you are interested about the scale school aged kids are being arrested just for standing and protesting, no one's safe. Therefore, it's either the EU or Russia, and we prefer the EU in hopes of at least being able to ask for basic human rights! For being able to protect ourselves!

Georgians are entitled to know what outsiders such as Russia, the US, and others are doing. That's why the US not only has a similar law, but the much tougher Patriot Act.

    Off course yes... u mean the Madras presidency, Boscavilky...?
    The seat of power ie the legislative assembly convenes in St George Fort in Madras...!
    As far as 2 Kremlin /Moscow concerned isn't Russia reigned over by the President & the Prime minister?
    Since the time they were together in the the office of Anatoly Sobchak - Law Professor, his protege:- Dmitri Anatolyvic Medwedev & alongwith him was KGB agent returned frim East Berlin - V Putin...
    later chosen as the Mayor /PM, first & :then President by outgoing Boris Yeltsin...
    And since then for 24 yrs now Czar-Russia, V V Putin & Dmitri A Medwedev hv been lording over Russia uninterruptedly...
    briefly switching roles /offices during 2008-12...!
    Soooh what's the inference, Biscavilky...?
    Both acting in tandem... marching in sync... left, right, left, right....

    During his reign as President , & his visit to the US, didn't D A M, visit among other places, Twitter office & post his message?
    Yeaah he used to make sime noise abt liberalising, openness, freedom etc etc... but don't we all kniw the reality of Russia & ONE man rule?

    but why do u oppose the foreign agents Bill, Salome...?
    for the simple reason its a copy, cut, paste of Russian draconian law & how could i allow that to be enacted?

    Its so obvious what is going on here. Local businessmen from the ruling party some of whom are backed by Russia have pushed for this law to be implemented.
    The idea is that transparency NGOs or NGOs which represent rights of discriminated groups (including workers) could be marginalised in mainstream Georgian society. It also means that the money coming in from funding will reduced and make people more reliant on the corrupt local businessmen.
    It may be that some NGOs are not ideal and there is scope for corruption but the are still an overall positive on society and trying to marginalise them will only encourage more corruption and give more power to oligarchs and government.

    Oh what an anti-democracy Russian law!! *The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) is a United States law that requires [foreign agents]* -defined as individuals or entities engaged in domestic lobbying or advocacy for foreign governments, organizations, or persons ("foreign principals")-to register with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and disclose their relationship, activities, and related financial compensation. 😅

    We hope Georgia becomes more democratic and joins the EU. This law is a step toward Putin not democracy.

      Ели бы вы написали Грузия с Европпой или Грузия за Европпу - я бы еще поняла, это было бы нормально. Но вы написали "Грузия для Европпы" - вы свою страну так не любите и не цените?
