Georgian Prime Minister has announced plans to push forward a controversial 'foreign agent' bill next week, in response to widespread protests across the country. The bill, which has sparked significant backlash from civil society groups and opposition parties, aims to regulate non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that receive foreign funding.
Thousands of Georgians took to the streets in recent days to demonstrate against the proposed legislation, expressing concerns that it could stifle freedom of speech and limit the work of independent organizations. Critics argue that the bill is a thinly veiled attempt to suppress dissent and target those who speak out against the government.
