- Protests have broken out after Georgia's parliament approved the divisive "foreign agents" bill.
The legislation is seen by some as threatening press and civic freedoms and there are concerns it's modelled on laws used by President Vladimir Putin in neighbouring Russia.

Would the Dream party be forced to register as a Foreign Agent? If so, then it's a fair law.
2024 is turning out to be a pretty wild episode of south park
Any foreign issue renders me sat waiting for the two interfering letters, US.
LOL
Under the bill - which passed its third and final reading with 84 votes against 30 on Tuesday - NGOs and independent media that receive more than 20% of their funding from foreign donors would have to register as organisations "bearing the interests of a foreign power. This legislation has been controversial, with some arguing for transparency and others fearing suppression. Here's a breakdown of the key points:
Registration Requirement: NGOs and independent media outlets relying on more than 20% foreign funding must register as organizations "bearing the interests of a foreign power."
Government Oversight: The Justice Ministry would oversee these registered organizations.
Transparency vs. Suppression: Supporters claim the law increases transparency about foreign influence. Critics fear it will be used to stifle dissent and independent media, similar to a law in Russia.
There have been protests against the bill, and the Georgian president has even vowed to veto it. However, the current system is parliamentary, making the President's veto less impactful.
doesnt the US have the same law..?
Pretty strong barrier that. I dont see anything wrong with the bill, foreign agents have to register their business interests if they want to conduct business activities in Georgia. Makes sense to me.
The proposed law is modeled after a similar one in Russia that the Kremlin has used to increasingly snuff out opposition and civil society. Many Georgians fear their foreign agents bill will be used to the same way it has been in its northern neighbor: to quash dissent and free expression by going after nongovernmental organizations with financial ties overseas.
Mind Begs the Question:
- If UK/USA/West Politicians are funded
- By a Pro Apartheid Lobby
- UK/USA/West Politicians are
- Pro Democracy or Pro Apartheid?
The bill is absolutely reasonable. The US and EU are just upset that Georgia is doing what is best for Georgia and not for Western interests.
Will the entire government of Georgia then register as foreign agents now? Clearly they are foreign agents of Russia.
@@UKR636 Well the bill will show who had funded the protests. The US has similar laws and the EU commission want to implement similar laws also!
Absolutely fair law.
Mate the UK has Democracy Lite so let's worry about that.
With shocking amounts of Russian oligarch and Chinese influence.
@@WhiteIkiryo-yt2it well maybe we should have the very law the Georgian mob don't want...duhhh
I don't know that there's a place that has Democracy anymore. I think there's something like a facade of Democracy, but it's wearing away really fast.
Smart move Georgia. Congratulations! 👍The bill is a Georgian bill inspired by similar laws in the US which lessen foreign influence.
Yes. Bought off by russian imperialism. Good work troll!...
they will pay dearly for it
@@vegan.soyboy How so?
The US does not have fascist Russian foreign agent laws. I wonder if the government of Georgia will now adhere to their own bill and go and register themselves as foreign agents of the Kremlin?
Yes. Be happy with paid pro russian president....
Decrying foreign influence and then wearing an EU flag is a little incongruous.
Parliament needs to stand with the people, not with Putin's regime. Democracy has to be the order of the day. The people "are" the country!
When the Parliament are corrupt Russian oligarchs...
The Georgian government wants to introduce a law that has been in force in the United States since the 30s of the last century. but in a softened version. USA doesn't like it
Sadly, the people are standing with real Nazism. They are paid protesters. They are employed to protest. American funded protests
1% of population is not the people. Transparency is a tool of democracy.
Hence this legislation against any international interference and corruption and for transparency on financing of "NGOs"!
The people of Georgia should be very careful...This is how things started in Ukraine
America's empire is built on the spilled blood of countries turned to anarchy. The CIA & state department has a lot to answer for. America will never let people be free from their agenda if they can help it.
Things started in Ukraine only because "foreign agents" began interfering in the internal governance of that country. It's an absolutely reasonable and fair law that's been introduced.
...but, but, but as per the Rules Based International Order the United States demands the freedom to interfere in the domestic politics of the every other country. (Except Israel.)
@@garybeaton3802 defenition of the US rules based order.. The US will make the rules..change the rules...interpret the rules any way it sees fit
Not true
Ohh ,no more CIA money, this is outrageous 😅
Transparency is now a Russian policy?!
Western Politics is disgusting.
Knew it was only a matter of time before morons started accusing the CIA :D
Away from freedom and democracy?look how freedom and democracies have done😅don't make me laugh..the eu are just as bad
Bosch out the metal pins
Just asking
Does the USA and UK and others have a very similar foreign agents bill?
Just asking🤔
Yes we do, but the Truth doesn't matter in the US and EU anymore.
Yes US has Foreign Agents Registration Act, Canada has S-237, An Act to Establish the Foreign Influence Registry,and UK, EU is considering similar bill in future against Russian, Chinese Iran influence. I dont understand why Georgia cant have it too. So hypocritical
@@WestEast1World the US does not have a fascist russian foreign agents act. Nor does the EU. Only fascist Russia and now also Georgia has fascist Russian laws.
@@mortenrobinson5421 please clean your mouth, I can see the hatred is dripping from your mouth. And next please do more research and talk.
Would be pretty angry for the huge number of Russians fleeing mobilisation and now they could get repatriated
What about the Foreign Agents Registration Act (22 U.S.C. § 611) (FARA)? Is it undemocratic as well? "Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi"?
Replay of Ukraine 2014.
Resembles the Orange revolutions yep!
Russia needs its own revolution against its fascist dictatorship
I can't believe it's happening again!! Are humans so easy to manipulate??
One must wonder if there's a representative of the U.S. State Department giving those protesters cookies.
@LittleBishop001 trust me we don't, we have a few thousand brainwashed people in Georgia and they will calm down very soon, we are not going to be useful idiots for the west again,... UK and USA ambassadors asking for a war against Russia, openly
It won’t end up going through, it can’t. Just look at the people protesting & the fighting in the parliament 🤷🏻♂️
Here to read comments...

Here we go again, is Victoria Nuland there? And how the west love these demos,
👏👏👏 DON'T GIVE UP, GEORGIANS !!! WE, SIMPLE PEOPLE, ARE THE POLITICAL FORCE TO PRESERVE THE BASIC VALUES OF HUMANITY: no body is meant to be a slave of a bunch of "politicians" !!! 👏👏👏
thank god, democracy won, this time, stay strong Georgia
❓ That's not democracy, why else the protests are going on duh!
Hora Putain! ❤🇸🇪🇫🇷
Hora Liberos!
A free independent Georgia is a good thing not one to be used by EU to wage war against Russia.. this law will keep both the west and Russia away
ok russian bot
O país deixa de ter boas economia e condições boas porque a Rússia é problemática, a pior coisa dessa vida é ser vizinho da Rússia 🇷🇺💩
but russia took over 20% of their land..EU did not
@@bullet0657Oof I sense a NAFO bot.
Being controlled by a fascist dictator in the Kremlin is the opposite of free and independent though. Implementing fascist Russian laws is the opposite of free and independent.
Thought this was Georgia, USA, for until about 15 seconds in.

In 1938, Congress enacted the Foreign Agents Registration Act ("FARA"), requiring “foreign agents” to register with the Attorney General. As amended over the years, it applies broadly to anyone who acts on behalf of a “foreign principal” to, among other things, influence U.S. policy
Sounds like a good idea on paper but I doubt it has followed it's intended use considering the other methods of subversion that have been used by foreign nations...Hollywood in particular with their communist history.
Except for AIPAC...
That bills exist does NOT mean enforced. Globalists have fun USA as long as EU has European "countries."
Georgia should be helping Ukraine and pushing back on putin.
What has your help benefited Ukraine?
@@user-oy5mm3pb2goh it's prolonged the war and caused much more death & destruction...let's hope NATO escalates because we love peace
The most foreign fighters in Ukraine are Georgian, most foreign casualities in Ukraine are Georgian.
@@brettervonkanada6102 Not true
They did. That is how we know the Georgian protesters are bought and paid for by the CIA and fiends.
As with other countries govt have NOT got their people welfare front and centre,politions looking after themselves how typical.😡
#StopDarkness #StopRussia #FreeGeorgia
thought the president was going to veto it.
She is powerless and on the payroll of the EU, so corrupt, shes not even Georgian shes French
✡️ another zelensky ?
Another russian bot?...
Russia will become your protector.
Dictator
Hora Putain! ❤🇸🇪🇫🇷
Russia is an aggressor that occupies 20 percent of the country
Only the fools will be angry. The US has the same laws. Why is the EU not telling the US to do away with such laws.
Why just " controversial" law?
Most MSM called it "Russian laws" so did the reporter in the video.
In US POTUS would have call out the military against any protests to prevent outsider nations funding any political activisms in US
No to ruzzia!!!
Well done Georgia
Well done Russia....😂.
Looks like they can kiss their EU membership goodbye.
I think the Georgian gov't decided that it's better they don't want their country to be destroy than to join the EU. EU economy is going down the drain anyway. It's not worth the risk.
EU , I feel is an outrageous and a disgusting SOCIALIST tool.
A lucky escape for them
Congratulations to Georgia for the first steps they have taken in driving foreign occupiers out and having an independent foreign and domestic policy
ROFLMAO, will the government which is clearly a foreign occupier and agent of the Kremlin, drive itself out of Georgia now then?
I am just wondering which sane citizens would be against a law that protects your country from international interference and corruptions?
None but some are paid to protest and the others just stupid

Yeah, go tell that to the students in 'Murica and Europe who are protesting Israhell's genocide of the Palestinian people, and are being brutalized by their governments.
This reminds vince of georgia peaches, georgie kinkladze, george michael, george and the dragon, george lucas and good old george harrison
Dont forget George from rainbow.
We shall never surrender!!!!!! So help us God!
Politicians not carrying out the desires of voters. When is the next election of politicians in Georgia?
Yeah, go tell that to the students in 'Murica and Europe who are protesting Israhell's genocide of the Palestinian people, and are being brutalized by their governments.
soon so maybe we will see what the majority of the people want...not just a US backed mob
Maybe they had there last election?
Doesn't matter who they vote for, its Putin, who is counting.
Here are people who know nothing about Georgia

The UK escaped the EU for some reason! Isn't it so?
@@LittleBishop001 we are not enough smart 😃
@@george_davituri Enough smart for what?

@@LittleBishop001 not to join, as UK already left this union, that’s why I mentioned ‘smart’ !
Thing is it's not just the fact they're implementing the law, they're not listening to the voices of the people. That is also something to expect from Russia. I wouldn't be surprised if someone takes a truck to those barriers and charge the parliament building.
Vote in the far right get the far right
Right 👍🏻
I just hope that people of Georgia will not give up, even if it means revolution like in Ukraine 2014.
Worldwide the people have had more than enough of public servants ruining their lives and constantly telling them what to do, this is only going to get worse and about time !!
People want to be free, not ruled by dictators!
Cool it with the antisemitism.
I thought it was Georgia America.
Not much different!
@@helenpauls1496 Hora Putain! ❤🇸🇪🇫🇷
Yeah, it was in Athens
Organize and don’t use tech to communicate. Never give in to Putin.
