Opponents argue that it will stifle civil society and independent media and help the government suppress dissent. The protests have begun to morph into a larger sign of discontent against the government and the direction it is taki...

The European Union is urging Georgia's government to stick to the path of democratic reform to join the bloc, as the parliament is set to approve a bill that would tighten control on organisations receiving foreign funds.

El proyecto de ley exige que los medios y las ONGs se registren en el caso de que reciban más del 20% de su financiación del extranjero. Decenas de miles de manifestantes protestan en las últimas semanas dado que la nueva norma podría ser perjudicial para la libertad de expresión en Georgia y su relación con la UE. Uno de los manifestantes, Giorgi Lominadze, explicó a 'Euronews': "Esta ley plantea muchos problemas. Esta ley crea una brecha entre nosotros y Europa, al mismo tiempo, la mayor amenaza es que esta ley nos acerque a Rusia y la desconfianza de este país. Permaneceremos aquí tanto tie...

Through the formally defined "foreign influence" law, the Kremlin-friendly Georgian government and parliamentary majority aim to force the NGOs that receive more than 20% of funding from abroad to register as "foreign agents". A number of international human rights NGOs with a presence in Georgia, including ...
