- Scuffles broke out in Parliament and dozens of protesters were arrested on Wednesday as Georgian lawmakers voted to advance a controversial bill that would require organisations receiving more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as foreign agents. Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili tells FRANCE 24 that the law is an attempt to "suppress critical voices" before the October elections. Known as the “Russian law” because the Kremlin uses similar legislation to target journalists and NGOs, critics fear it will similarly be used to crack down on dissent and civic freedoms in Georgia. Zourabichvili says the law is nearly a “duplicate” of the legislation Russian President Vladimir Putin uses to intimidate his critics.

Double standards of the west

She is a product of the NGO'S, and so it's very simple for her to defend them.
😂
Simply tell people which G7 country does not have a similar law so that the people of Georgia, especially the elected legislators, can understand which example Georgia should learn from.
they are smart, they already know, also know the details of th law too, which is most important
It’s a law introduced by a pro Russian politician that mirrors the Russian legislation used to squash dissent
@@chrissmith7669You mean it's copy of American FARA law introduced in 1938 and active to this day which actively suppresses free speech...
In U$, AIPAC should register as " foriegn "

@@fritzraake22ukrobot, explain why AIPAC shouldn't be considered a foreign agent?
@@havanasyndrome3024he can’t because he’s a ID10T

In U$, AIPAC should register as " foriegn "
@@happymelon7129 yes
why should you have influence from a foreign country in a country that has sovregnity on it s own territory????? do yu want Americans to come and sink yu with their banks??
people should know when other countries are funding actives in their country
Does France have a similar Law?
I don't understand this "European integration of Georgia". Georgia is in Asia, not in Europe.
if ngo not required to show source of money. same law must be applied to all civilians and organizations too. why should only ngo be exempted
We already have similar laws in America
No, the U.S. doesn't, if that's what you mean by America
And we have similar law in Australia
@@user-qo4kb4dr1iYES we do….Michael Flynn was prosecuted under such a law. Selective enforcement.
Educate your sorry self. 🙄
We have a similar law in Australia. Why don't you call it Australian law rather than Russian law?
Something tells me this lady won't have long to sit in the president's chair.
Russia will view this as a "provocation". You can't allow the people to have their way
their way ? hahahahah u think European Union and nato is free thinking?...wake up fool
Every 1st world democracies have similar laws.
But this one is fronted by a pro Russian politician introducing legislation identical to that used to squash dissent in Russia. That’s why the people are upset
similar how? How many people doo 1st world democracies imprison for not registering as foreign agents? They probably should have similar laws, but they don't
@@user-qo4kb4dr1irussiagate
That is not true
If you aren’t satisfied with the law,why don’t you resign and contest the election??
why should she resign? If you aren't happy with something, do you just quit?
@@user-qo4kb4dr1i as long as she is at odds with the parliament, she should resign.
@@jac9176 why? Maybe the parliament should resign instead?
It's actually remarkably idiotic to eliminate disagreement in a political system

Azerbaijani , Georgian and Armenian peoples want democracy, freedom but russian puppet dictator aliev helps putin re-occupate south Caucasus for his eternal clan dictatorship.
@@fritzraake22 everyone is trying to get the best result for them they all meddle

Tell me, did FISA extension legislation pass through Congress first?
Voting age around the world should be raised to 25yrs...young people are far to easily manipulated
Nothing to do with age. I've met dogs smarter than some humans.
Everyone should do a civics, history and IQ test to be eligible to vote.
