Georgia's Prime Minister has responded to criticism from the United States regarding a draft law that aims to regulate 'foreign agents' operating in the country. The Prime Minister has dismissed the U.S. criticism as false, asserting that the proposed legislation is necessary for national security and transparency.
The draft law in question seeks to establish regulations for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and media outlets that receive funding from foreign sources. Proponents of the bill argue that it is essential to prevent foreign interference in Georgia's internal affairs and to ensure that organizations are transparent about their funding sources.
