Protesters and cops clash in Georgia after nation's parliament passes hated pro-Russian law

- Protesters vented their fury outside parliament in Georgia yesterday (Tues) as a hated new law was passed pushing the former Soviet state closer to Vladimir Putin.
Georgia’s pro-Russian government ignored tens of thousands of demonstrators besieging their assembly to pass Putin-inspired laws cracking down on press freedom.
Protesters screaming “Russians!” and “slaves!” began tearing at metal barriers with crow bars trying to reach MPs in the building in capital Tbilisi.
Fears of further unrest - and even rebellion - spiralled over the new “foreign agent” law which could thwart the nation’s bid to join the EU.
TV footage showed protesters using metal railings and iron bars to tear at eight-foot metal fencing erected to shield the parliament building.
But hundreds of black-clad riot police backed by water cannon moved in to disperse the chanting throng of young protesters, who vowed to fight on as they fled.
Snatch squads of black-hooded cops were seen rushing into crowds to beat and arrest protesters.
Freedom campaigners say the controversial foreign influence bill - which targets organisations and independent media which receive foreign funding - is based on Putin laws.
They say it will allow hardliners in government to quash opposition - Russian-style.
The EU granted Georgia - which borders Russia - candidate status to join the bloc in December, but has warned the new law could jeopardise its bid.
Russian forces occupy around 20% of Georgia’s internationally recognised territory and the
The Georgian Dream party wants closer ties with Moscow.

Why would Georgians want foreign money interfering in their politics?
Reported for antisemitism and/or Russian bot detected.
It’s just the name, has nothing to do with actual foreign influence.
Georgia is Not Russia.
Of course it is not. Russia is already part of Europe, while Georgia is still in Asia. Unless the geography has changed...
it must knee down to Russia for 30 millions destroyed russians by their native Stalin, same logic of nation responsibility
My god! They are really fighting in the parliament 🤯! It looks like the police should be inside instead 🫣
With this easy law to accuse an opponent of "Foreign agent" we know the rest, comedy judgment and prison in real life. Same thing with Erdogan Pasha.
Victory for the people of free Georgia
Those NGOs will destroy Georgia, there is a reason why every Western country has the same law, to stop outside entities from causing havoc, then freedom is no more
ask that people why they keep pesonal museum of Stalin, which occupied all Europe, made german women scandal, planned nuclear war with Usa
Those people are 5000 USA activists paid by USA because America wants control zones around Russia so Ukraina and Georgia suffer 😢
Il se passe en Géorgie ce qui c'est passé exactement en Ukraine dans la Crimée en 2014...
Wrong!
Oui c'est vrai, mais c'était à Kiev, pas dans la Crimée
GET OUT PUTIN, GET OUT!!!! 😡 FREEDOM FOR GEORGIA! 🫵🏻
Nope...
Keep the NGOs out, they've destroyed every country that they've entered..
Are you dumb? What putin? 😂 this is a protest paid by USA because they want political control in Georgia like they did in Ukraine
Poutine est responsable du désordre mondial 😡 la chine n’est pas clair boycott massif production massif d’armement contre les terroriste russes.

Your going to have to fight hard for what you want
Poutine veut reprendre tout les territoires de l'USSR. Dans ce cas la France veut aussi reprendre les territoires gagné par Napoléon 🤣
I shall see you at Waterloo 😏 I think HMS Victory is still seaworthy ahah

Путин никогда не говорил, что он хочет вернуть территории СССР. Он говорил: "у того, кто не жалеет о распаде СССР, нет сердца, а у того, кто хочет вернуть СССР, нет головы". Кстати, Путин говорил, что не он автор этой фразы.
@@user-zz1kd7zu2x no he said he wanted to de-Nazify the west... With no evidence that claim even existed and by invading another country and acting more like those he vowed to destroy in the process...

Georgia is going through a Russian soft takover. The people should be listened to not ignored. They do not want these repressive laws.
The issue Georgia has is simply there's nobody who can properly organise these demonstrations, therefore like in the past these demonstrations will endup being crushed by the police 🫣😳.
Or maybe the problem is that the people have read what kind of law they are being offered, and now they don’t want to protest and support these prostitutes in the squares?
And that's why they have to oppose the US law? =)
And you are funny.
What is the difference between the FARA law in the USA and the proposed one in Georgia?
But there is a difference between Georgia and the USA.
There should be no foreign NGOs in the USA, and no one should interfere with US NGOs in Georgia.
People I don't think there is, we the people any more
THAT IS OUR BUILDING2
At least it’s nothing to do with the Islamists.
LoL You are right!
For once.
Give it time... they will find a way to blame all this on race and religion and not the deep corruptions within their own 😂

Закон о регистрации иностранных агентов (англ. Foreign Agents Registration Act, FARA) - закон США, принятый в 1938 году[1], требующий, чтобы иностранные агенты в США, представляющие интересы иностранных держав в «политическом или квазиполитическом качестве», раскрывали свои отношения с иностранным правительством и информацию о соответствующей деятельности и финансах.
It is NOTts the same law, Ivan.... it is the repressive Ruzzian law, and no protests are allowed, or robocops arrest you.... the US is protesting it, why would they do that other wise? Gopnik....
@@martinwatts3796
This is literally the same law =) And the law is necessary for any independent country, which is why in the USA there is a FARA law and no one opposes it. But in Georgia such a law is prohibited from being introduced, otherwise more than 10 thousand NGOs from Western countries will lose their places.
You are like a child, study the question already.
Because slaves cannot have the same rights and laws as their masters.
Masters must have full access to their slaves.
Proud of these Georgians 🎉

Georgia just went down the tubes.
Oppression. 5:55 Strength towards a better future.
Look at the well to do people, few and the large population the making these decisions on their future.
THE PEOPLE DONT WANT IT. POWER AND PRIVILEGE
That's civil war not policing.
Georgia part of Europe? What's next Turkmenistan?
Turkmenistan would be welcomed too - another juicy territory on Russia's doorstep
Mongolia wants to join Europe as well 😂
Грузины молодцы!!!!!!!!!! ¡
How is Pultins law when every Western country has the same law..
Keep the NGOs out
Exactly..only western nations call it democracy.
Thiers not much time left until the 3rd temple is built. Strategically Georgia ought to stay away from Europe/U eS.
No one here cares about Georgia, Russia, Ukraine. There are ghouls who like bloody shows
No. We don’t.
No, we don’t. Russia does though. Look how that turned out.
@@Erakius323 The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) has been law since the 1930s in the US...
Georgia is passing or has passed the same law, which states...
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..
One day Georgia will learn to be multicultural. They need a revolution of dignity.
Scotland 🏴 stands with you Georgia 🇬🇪 down with Putin & Russian oppression! 🇪🇺
you don't speak for all of Scotland you silly dunce
OMG! 😮😢
Probably could of given it a different name 😅
God with georgian brothers and sisters!
Ukraine with Georgia forever!
Hm.. I think Ukraina is with Biden and you know the rest of this story.. Georgia is with freedom and not with American or Russian control!
It’s unlikely that Georgians want to be like Ukraine. =)
Watch
Just like parliment and streets of uk france etc lol 😅
Всем грузинам я бы посоветовал не сдавать никому свою страну - ни Америке, ни России, ни Турции, на Азербайджану, ни Евросоюзу, ни НАТО и вообще никому. Грузия могла бы стать объединяющей страной всех кавказских стран и народов и проводить свою независимую политику в мире для блага Грузии. Всем грузинским студентам, я хочу напомнить, что они в отличие от правительства Грузии ни за что не несут никакой ответственности перед народом Грузии. Поэтому у них есть два пути - либо сесть за парты, либо сесть в тюрьму. А тем, кто рвётся в Евросоюз я бы посоветовал купить визу за 25 или 35 евро на три или пять лет и поехать сначала посмотреть как там живу., и если понравится, то сделать так, чтобы в Грузии люди жили ещё лучше.
Australia passed the same law in 2018
Israel passed its law on foreign agents in 2016
In Britain, literally this year they updated their version of the law on foreign agents, making it stricter.
In France, in March of this year, the French law on foreign agents went through all the procedures, and it’s funny that the French Foreign Ministry participated in its preparation. where the current president of Georgia worked. That is, she literally advocated for this law in France, but now she opposes it in Georgia.
OK. When all these countries, as well as a dozen more countries, will become part of the Russian Federation. Since these laws are a direct path to Putin?🤣
Typical Sun IQ. This is a copy of the Russian Law, that allow no free protests, beatings, and imprisonment. The British and French laws are NOT the same. You are wildly inaccurate, misinformed, or a Russian bot.....
@@martinwatts3796
It doesn't look the same, but they are more similar to each other than the Russian version.
Just take the originals and compare.
MOST of all, Georgian law is similar to the US FARA law.
Its because the "war" in Ukraine is being overshadowed. It's gone suspiciously quiet since that tucker Carlson bloke did his interview & suprise tour of russia, then with Israel wiping out terrorists that has taken centre stage now. The paid for simple minded protesters & mainstream media have to throw putin into the ring once in a while to keep their cash flows going.
Proof?
@@Erakius323 FARA in the USA since what year and what kind of law is it?
Find it and then find its equivalents in other countries.
It's the 21st century and you still can't Google it?

But there is a difference between Georgia and the USA.
There should be no foreign NGOs in the USA, and no one should interfere with US NGOs in Georgia.
Is it worth fighting for Russia
it's terrible that Georgia, which suffered so much because of putin's evil empire, now has to fight for freedom again 😢 we stand with you 🇵🇱🇬🇪✌️
Protesters aren't the majority of Georgian people, not even close!! So there's no reason for them to make all this mess. The Georgian parliament will decide what it thinks is best for Georgia: this is how a democracy works! At worse the next time they will vote for another party and that's all.
There are only 4 million people in the whole country. A protest of this scale in America would be millions of Americans storming Washington DC.
Wow, if only the truth was as simple as your powers of reasoning.
