- Georgia's parliament is debating another controversial bill that targets organizations receiving foreign funding. A similar law also exists in Russia. Critics say it's undemocratic and aimed at silencing the government's opponents. The legislation is also at odds with Georgia's ambitions of joining the European Union.
For more on this, we talk to DW reporter Maria Katamadze, who is on the ground in Tbilisi for us.

Why would Georgia want to deepen the relationships with Russia since Russia invaded them with tanks and troops?
It was Georgia who attacked Russia after beinged egged on by the US. And yes why would 2 neighboring countries want to have good relations?lol
@@timmy-wj2hc😂😂
@@timmy-wj2hc This is not true. Russia is doing the same over and over again, with Georgia, with Ukraine. Killing and annexing and justifying that it was their security concern because of NATO. Who will believe that Georgia that is size of one little municipality in Russia, with 3 million people compared to 140 million in Russia, initiated the war? It was Russia who started the war.
@@timmy-wj2hc poor Ruzzia is always being attacked by their small neighbors. The Ruzzians are being forced to annex their neighbors. Ruzzia is clearly the victim here.
Ask what kind of relationship with Georgia want to have Abkhazia and Ossetia.
NO to Russia YES to Europe!
How does disclosing funding threaten this? We have similar laws in Australia, the US has similar laws.
😂wtf does this law have to do with Russia? Jesus Christ this is Georgian parliament yet they blame Russia
Coming from someone who is probably not in EU and completely idealize this technocratic unelected entity.
Long Life to sovereign nations, international collaboration and peace, we don't need those supranational government.
(my wife is from Georgia so no, I am not idealizing Russia either Gamar joba from Belgium)
@stephaneprivate1013 to be honrst, you can't have peace if there are not large nations or large group collaboration and unions. EU has been way more positive for Europe and surprisingly ethical. Usually Europeans are at constant war and usually small l. Their is one country trying to conquer it all or large swabs of land. Now a days you guys are forming unions and collaboration further improving your countries and not pointing weapons at each other or forming plans to take a chunk out the other, except for maybe Russia. If you want peace. It must take sacrifice and collaboration and, most importantly, unions
Russia is more in europe then Georgia xDDD
I support georgian people from heart.

When you see pro-russian bots being so active, it becomes very clear who motivated Georgian government to bring out this kind of law.
What should I do when I see pro- west bot? They pretty active in this thread...
Yeah anyone who makes any sense is a Pro-Russian bot...
I'm sorry, but you are going to have to spell that one out for me because you are not making any sense.
The proposed law and current circumstance as described by anyone here to date, is only plausibly detrimental to politicians and lobbyists being funded from Russia who want to keep the source of their funding a secret from their voters.
[Western funding would seem to be relatively transparent already, and if it wasn't it doesn't matter because you can just jail anyone saying things you didn't like, who is paying them would be completely irrelevant, so it seems to me that the only people a law saying you have to declare the source of your funding can plausibly be detrimental to are those who don't want their voters to be able to see that their funding is coming from Russia]
While you very clearly are saying that this law benefits those being funded from Russia rather than being detrimental to them.
That is very obvious nonsense that does not align with the details available here.
So kindly explain yourself, am I missing something you have not explained? or are you a bot who doesn't really understand the words you use? or are trying to "mislead" with a very poorly crafted untruth? or is this law something other than has been described here? or are you just very very "not clever"?
@GwynBleys make sense about what? What do you know about this law and conditions in Georgia? I highly doubt you got any clue about it if you aren't just paid bot.
@user-ho7me9dd5y It's up on you who you would call pro-western bot. But for me, it's pretty easy to find out who is bot and who isn't, when they're screaming all same lines.
What happens in Georgia is the responsibility of the georgian people.
Wish them the strength to not give up and find their way into the EU where they'll be very welcome.
No they won't.😂😂😂 Just like Ukraine will never be admitted to EU.
@timmy-wj2hc That's supposed to be funny? I think I can guess where you're from based on that assertion of yours...perhaps a certain country that's currently despised by both Georgians and Ukrainians for similar reasons.

@@newwonderer Georgia is not even close to EU standards. Not because it is anti-Russia means that it will be automatically admitted to the EU. As a reminder, all member countries need to go through the EU Council, then EU Parliament, and then respective members' parliaments (including separate state parliaments for federal monarchies/republics) to be fully admitted. There is no way Georgia will be admitted. Ukraine and Moldova have a higher chance in getting admitted and that's in a long shot. Georgia is in Asia and will remain as such.

*Which* pro-european organizations are precisely targeted ? Missing the core of the information
All organizations which have more than 20% of their funding coming from abroad (so pretty much all NGOs in the country). This just a way to group them up into a class in order to marginalize them and later on oppress them. So only Russian money will pour into the country.
Any organisation that potentially could back up independent institutions and media, are targets of this low.
mostly organizations who are involver in observing election, politics and active social fields.
The difference is that RUSSIA uses such lists to target, imprison, murder etc... any opposition to the regime.
The sellers of this law in Georgia are likely in the thrall of Russian handlers or blackmail or intimidation or simply preference. THEY see their power as the chief objective, NOT the freedom of the people.
And so the people recognise the danger. The question is how will democratic freedom be maintained in the face of this blatant backsliding towards repression...
Ah, OK, so this is some sort of holdover worries about USSR state police thing? still seems an odd thing to get so wound up over if it's only for organisations? it seems like basic information customers and voters should have a right to to be able to make informed decisions on their purchases and votes to me.
@@pelinoregeryon6593 There is already transparency under current law. This new law is very broad and can be used to violate freedom of speech and over time limit activities of NGOs that have a critical opinion. So this is difference between the law in US, EU countries and there.
@@tn2cw How? because I'm not seeing it in what has been said in the video or in comments?
Absolutely, is is just the beginning. It will be much easier to edit these laws afterwards and destroy civil society and limit peoples' rights. Look at how it worked in Russia.

We have been pushing similar foreign funding disclosure laws in the west, mainly targeted at Russia. Just saying.
Not allowed to point out the obvious
Yup.
U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938.
U.K. Foreign Influence Registration Scheme of 2023.
There's plenty of such laws here in the west, and for good reason.
I hope the law is passed in Georgia too, so that the people will be safe from ruzzian NGOs.
(Or at least be able to tell where the NGOs are).

@@flickanrimsky are you fking joking, they don't even consider turkey or cyprus as Europe wt*f even Georgia? what is next Japan????
These individuals were actively involved in teaching methods of creating protest charges and tactics for conducting violent actions. They represent the management of the Canvas organization, and Sinisa Sikman and Slobodan Djinovic are former members of the Otpor organization, an analogue of the Georgian organization Kmara in Serbia.
We would remind the public that the organization Canvas, whose core is the Otpor organization, is being used to prepare youth groups for the revolutionary scenario planned in October-December of this year in Georgia. These organizations have practical experience in participating in revolutionary processes in foreign countries and in teaching how to organize violent protests.
What's wrong in asking for being transparent about fund, received from a foreign country? How can that be linked with potential EU membership?
And US has the SAME law from 1938.
The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) (22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq.) is a United States law that imposes public disclosure obligations on persons representing foreign interests.[1][2] It requires "foreign agents"-defined as individuals or entities engaged in domestic lobbying or advocacy for foreign governments, organizations, or persons ("foreign principals")-to register with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and disclose their relationship, activities, and related financial compensation.[2]
These laws are often used for oppression and the suppression of the citizens. See Russia.
this is about Western NGO influence being less visible
It's a way to stigmatize groups who think differently than the ruling party. See how it's been abused in Russia for examples.
Actually the problem in the law is the fact that it neither list the non friendly countries who shall be the subject of this law, nor limits the activity that is the case of US (it is about the lobbies). So this law is very broad and can be used to violate freedom of speech and over time limit activities of NGOs that are threat for them, anyone who can have a critical opinion. If the above mentioned details were in the law, it would not be a problem. So this is difference between the law in US, EU countries and here.

All countries are propagandist, especially in times of wars, contrary to most people I am not idealizing Russia or EU or USA, different methods but full of lies and manipulations

Have I misunderstood or misheard this or has DW News given false information on what this is all about? because I can't see any reason a law requiring transparency on where your funding is coming from should be controversial? .. knowing who is funding and promoting a particular thing (so you can then go on to ask why) is necessary for being adequately enough informed to know *what* and who you're voting for.
Well, there's no point in requiring such transparency if you're not going to use it to do something based on the recieved data. If it ends up *suppressing* dissent and opposition like such law does in Russia - it's going to end up being an authoritarian law.

@@NikitOS-vv4ks Rubbish, of course there is a point besides that, voters should have the right to know who is pushing what message and why, as a voter I would want to know if China was trying to push a message in the UK, I would also want to know if the US was, I asked because I wanted to know, but if you can't do anything other than lie say nothing, if you have an actual insight to offer I'm all ears but that was't an insight it was just a lie ("there us no other reason") compounded as fact to justify a stance against it.
@@tn2cw How can it be used to violate freedom of speech? just saying it doesn't make it so, you'll need to explain your reasoning, what you think the mechanism to that outcome is, because I don't see how voters being allowed to know *who* is paying for a thing to be said stops anyone saying it, if those saying it believe it they can still say it regardless of if anyone knows who's paying them to say it and even regardless of if they are even being paid, freedom of speech is the ability to say what you want, there is nothing I can see in this video or that you've said that prevents that?
@@pelinoregeryon6593the main point there is not the transparency of foundings, the main point there this law itself and how it will used by government. Because similar law was established by Russian federation after the war and mainly it was used to force any freedom of speech, to imprison thousand of journalist, youtubers, artist, politicians, businessmen even scientist, who just not agreed and statisfied with regime. This low gives to the government and ruler party very useful tool to get rid of any dissenters and suppress any opposition in the bud, Even an ordinary UA-camr will be considered a foreign agent, since he receives income from UA-cam from outside the country. If the blogger is obedient, he will not be touched, but if the regime does not like his ideas and "behavior", he will be accused of being a foreign agent and put in prison for being an ordinary UA-cam blogger who expressed his opinion online and received $5 from UA-cam AD in the video... that's how scary and terrible this law is
If an NGO is mostly funded from abroad it has to be watched carefully as it can be used to influence that country. Its not like these things dont happen in some places.
Thanks for some common sense that is blatantly lacking here !

Interesting, because I am a Belgium citizen, part of EU, and I do think that making NGO foreign funding public and totally transparent is a very good measure to limit interferences.
I mean it is obvious knowledge that all major countries, especially USA, China, Russia, Arabic countries such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia, are heavily using NGOs to promote their own interests, push some projets and strengthen relations with others governments or activists, this is the basic of any Foreign Soft Power.
So making citizens an politics aware of it with some mention is great to me, of course some lobbies prefere to remain discrets, I don't see why Russia is to blame here..🤔

How does it limit free speech?
As a UK citizen I personally would want to know who was funding and promoting a political message or narrative regardless of if it was a friendly country or not so that I could better judge for myself the potential motives and reasons behind it, and similarly with products so I can make informed purchase choices, this seems pretty basic information I should have the right to know to me.
If a political lobby group operating in the UK was funded by US state interests I would want to know that just as much as I would want to know if one was funded from Russia and I should have the right to know that without having to guess.
I would also want such things to be illegal anyway .. the votes of a countries democracy should not be subject to any organised foreign influence, funding or lobbying regardless of if it's coming from a friend or an enemy.

I welcome wholeheartedly Georgia Ukraine and Moldova to the EU. But firstly, Europe needs to take down Putin. There will never be unity while this murderer is still breathing.
🤦♂️🤡😂 Ukraine and the rest will never be admitted to EU.
Well said.
European union women e man are all becaming gay, do you thing its good? I don't.
EU members will never admit Georgia into the EU. Georgia is in Asia (technically Western Asia, according to the UN). And the country does not share the same values. If they want to break free from other spheres of influence, so be it; but that doesn't make them European.

Again?????
😂😂 its american law not russian law.usa passed it in 1938.russia just followed usa.
There is already transparency under current law. This new law is very broad and can be used to violate freedom of speech and over time limit activities of NGOs that have a critical opinion. So this is difference between the law in US, EU countries and there.
Lies. Those laws are totally different in essence.
Wait, why use English in a non English speaking country????
yes we debate that too. especially the western "journalists"
Stop poking that BEAR!!!!
or what? ruzzia is doomed
NO to ruzzia YES to Europe!
Theres nothing civilized from communism. Fight! Fight!
This Ch is registered as a foreign agent, it says so in the middle of the screen ROFL
Why would you choose Russia if you can join your brother nations in peace and prosperity. 🤔
Georgia is not Europe
it's an EU candidate so you're not right😂
@@extratrois the country of Georgia is not in europe. Just like China is not in Europe

I've got nothing against Georgia but they're not in Europe, why would they join the European Union?
Irrelevant. They can join whatever they want. That's the difference between democracy and dictatorships.
There is always an entrance and an exit, so Georgia serves as an entrance to Europe
Georgia is a country located in the Caucasus region of Eurasia, bordering Europe and Asia. It's situated at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia.
If I was in Georgia I might feel there was some potential security benefit to being an EU member that outweighed the issues with being in it.
I mean Georgia is clearly on the Asian continent if we're talking geography. I agree it's great that Georgia wants to be in a democratic alliance but the European Union can't be accepting just every country that wants protection
Everything is possible in democracies . . . Taiwan would join NATO . . . :)
Yes Georgias ivanishvili government wants to know where ngos are getting their money from because everyone already knows where ivan-is-shvili got his billions. From Russia 🇷🇺 with luv
🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
So they want to become Ukraine?
Hopefully the law is passed.
Tại sao NATO không kết nạp vào khối ( Afghanistan + IRAQ + IRAN + Lybia + Pakistan) cho đông vui, Ukraina chưa gia nhập khối NATO đã bị đánh như ăn uống hàng ngày. Vậy khi nào có Hòa Bình ở châu Âu?
You´re talking nonsense 🤡🤡🫵
When Russia gives up on trying to recreate the Russian Empire/Soviet Union.
I always love it when people and government s tell you exactly who they are.
Liberalism is the opposite of FASCISM!!!
So if the current government of Georgia dislike Liberalism.... just use a little bit of logic and critical thinking :)
So US is fascist country . . . there is no such a law in US . . . :)
Another tik-tok zoomers gathered up to seeth about the law that brings true independence from foreign NGOs and foreign funded influencers to Georgia.
No russia
That’s a very good law
Most countries should do the same and ban these ONGs
THIS COMMENT SECTION IS SWARMING WITH BOTS FROM RUSSIA!
I think it's alright, honestly. It really isn't that big of a deal.
If only you knew what you were talking about🤔🤦🏼♂
Similar law exists in Russia 😂
Similar law also exists in USA , The Foreign Agents Registration Act
There is already transparency under current law. This new law is very broad and can be used to violate freedom of speech and over time limit activities of NGOs that have a critical opinion. So this is difference between the law in US, EU countries and there.
Nope, the USA law it totally different. Also, the Russian law is greatly abused and has nothing to do with anything foreign at all.
:) meh, that guy does not know how to punch. :)
And the speaker has bizarrely poor peripheral vision.
Because he didn't watch ufc... That why..
Такой же закон существует в США с 1938 года.
wrong, Fara is very different
🇬🇪☦️☦️🇬🇪❤️☦️☦️🇬🇪💪💪
We have this in the US and EU too
But it excludes our kosher masters in pisssrael😂
Not really.
No money is coming FROM Israel to US.
All the money is going TO Israel.
If there are exclusions there shouldn't be, as a voter I want to know who's behind what messages regardless of who that is and feel I should have the right to that information.
This new law is very broad and can be used to violate freedom of speech and over time limit activities of NGOs that have a critical opinion. So this is difference between the law in US, EU countries and there.

The US law is even stricter.
In any case, being a Foreign Agent isn't illegal. It just becomes a publicly known fact.
In a DEMOCRACY people have a RIGHT to know the TRUTH about such NGOs.
Western interference lol
Actualy not read the law and not a name

If Georgia want to join EU they must cut all ties to Russia.
If that is what the EU is about it is one reason more it has to be abolished so that peace, liberty and democracy can prevail.
@@mistressfreezepeach How is Ruzzia in any way tied to "Peace" "liberty" or "Democracy"?
@@madselmvig1457 how is the EU tied in any way to those?
The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) (22 U.S.C. § 611 et seq.) is a United States law that imposes public disclosure obligations on persons representing foreign interests.[1][2] It requires "foreign agents"-defined as individuals or entities engaged in domestic lobbying or advocacy for foreign governments, organizations, or persons ("foreign principals")-to register with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and disclose their relationship, activities, and related financial compensation.[2]
@@mistressfreezepeach Russia is a totalitarian imperialistic regime with no democracy, and they have invaded several European countries in the last decades. Russia is the only threat to EU peace and stability.
I'm from Denmark, and I will welcome Georgia to the EU, the day they meet the criteria. But there is still too much political unrest, corruption, state-controlled media, I can continue. But it's not something they can't change if they really want to. But let's see how much effort they will make, politicians hate losing power. So it is up to their people to demand change. It is the people's vote that decides whether it will be in 5-7-10-15---- years, or never.
I am an EU citizen and I don't want the EU to accept ANYONE else into the block. The EU needs to stabilize, and our funds are already tight. If we take in those poor and volatile unstable countries in, it will have a bigger impact on us.
European futures!! 😂😂😂😂
ყველაზე საინტერესო ის არის, რომ ბევრმა ქართველმა არ იცის ამის შესახებ. ახლახან ქართველ ქალს ვუთხარი, რომ იგივე კანონი აშშ-ში 1938 წლიდან არსებობს! და ბევრად უფრო მკაცრი ფორმით! რაზეც მან უბრალოდ თვალები გააფართოვა, შემდეგ თქვა, რომ საკმარისად ვუყურე ტელევიზორს და ეს ყველაფერი კრემლის პროპაგანდა იყო. ამის შესახებ ვიკიპედიაზე წაკითხვის საშუალება მივეცი, მერე თქვა, რომ ეს რუსული ვიკიპედიაა და იქ სიმართლე არ იყო. ინგლისური ვიკიპედია რომ ვიპოვე, სკამზე ჩამოჯდა და წყალი მთხოვა.
America has the same kind of law and the EU is debating one as well.
FARA only concern to POLITICAL and ADVOCACY work financed from abroad. This is the difference. In Russia the law is broad open to any interpretation and controls any activities of any person or organization, and is used to limit (to 0) freedom of speech. This is a huge difference between US and Russian laws.
No Georgia in Europe
