I dont get it, why is it contraversial? If political forces in my country are funded by foreign powers, I would like to know that also? I thing that's a good thing for them georgians, no? Why is hiding it a good thing? I don't get it.... The news makes it sound like showing if the source of funds is from abroad is a bad thing?
It's not just political forces, it's companies. And people are worried it would only be enforced on entities that are not Pro-Russian. If an entire had 80% of it's funding from Russia, a 'foreign agent' it likely wouldn't get enforced by the government, compared to if it was American or Western European.
@@crowzur6055 This is the biggest load of bollocks I have seen today. This law applies to ALL foreign NGOs wishing to influence the political system in Georgia (mainly Western). Sorry that your favourite regime change NGO is also affected but that is democracy, like it or lump it, comrade.
As can be seen in many "colour revolutions" in the past, foreign NGOs (mainly Western think Soros) pour big money into starting and supporting the undermining of the political system. Recent examples include Ukraine, Myanmar, Venezuela, and Brazil, as well as other South American, African and Asian countries. This funding not only buys t-shirts and banners but also goes to supply weapons for attacking the local population, as well as teaching local militants how to undermine the local political process, comrade.
Whether the law is good or bad leave that up to the Georgian people to decide it's not for anyone else to decide let tem figure it out as a nation.
@@elliottauber9531 That is what they did. The people voted in parliamentary representatives who then decided to pass this law. If the vast majority wish to change this law then they can at the next general election. Democracy in action.
Why is it so bad?
It isn't, comrade.
Owh boy..
My thoughts exactly.
It's Lord of The Rings... Only real life
They want to join the EU, but they don’t want a transparency law. 🙄
🇬🇪🇪🇺❤️
Nothing controversial about it. Every European country has this law. Its normal and healthy for a independent nation.
The Georgians literally explained this so many times and here you are asking why?.
@@Siranoxz Seems like you are not the only one misunderstanding this law, comrade.
It's up to the people of Georgia if they want this law or not it's not for us to decide leave it to the Georgian people to decide
@@elliottauber9531 They did - in a very democratic way. The minority opinion was overruled by the majority one. No more external, big money, color revolution in Georgia. We can all breath a sigh of relief, comrade!
@@roll-outcommanders6520 so way is everyone in Georgia protesting?
Good job, this is not controversial at all, and he is not Russia law.
To all ignorant people who have never been to Georgia, I highly recommend Google, you will be surprised how many Russian big businesses there are in Georgia, what enterprises are controlled by Russia. But I’d rather not say anything about Turkish business.
Georgia in Russia 😠
