Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili expressed strong disapproval of a 'foreign influence' bill passed by parliament, labeling it as 'unacceptable.' The bill, which has sparked widespread criticism for its potential impact on free speech, has also raised concerns about Georgia's European Union aspirations.
In an interview, Zourabichvili condemned the ruling Georgian Dream party for championing the legislation, citing its adverse effects on civil society and media freedom. She emphasized that the bill contradicts Georgia's stated commitment to European integration and aligning with the European Commission's recommendations.
