Georgia

🇬🇪 In Georgia, the parliament passed the bill on “foreign agents” in the second reading by a majority vote. Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told the media that the final reading of the law will be adopted in two weeks, and another week later the parliament plans to vote to override the president’s veto.

Protests broke out as the law was passed. A raging crowd is trying to break into the parliament building, where a “red level” of security has been introduced. Several thousand people are erecting barricades and blocking traffic along embankments and streets.

The police are using tear gas and water cannons against the demonstrators, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is holding an emergency meeting on the situation in the country's capital. Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili supports the “protesters”, but asks not to provoke the security forces into retaliatory actions.
