"I want to be clear: this bill voted in the parliament – this is not bringing Georgia closer to the EU. This is the opposite," Charles Michel, the president of the European Council, told Euronews on Friday morning. "We are disappointed that this government made such a decision," he added. Georgia was in December declared an official candidate to join the bloc, fulfilling the former Soviet republic's long-running aspiration. The decision was "fundamental," says Michel, who now expects Tbilisi to send "more positive signals" to Brussels. Asked if the nascent accession process might be frozen as ...

Thousands of Georgians have taken to the streets to protest the controversial foreign agent bill tabled last year but re-introduced by the ruling Georgian Dream Party on April 3, 2024. Pundits say the Georgian Dream Party is steadily derailing their country's path to European Union accession. After three days of large-scale protests and domestic and international criticism, the draft bill passed the first reading at the parliament. Meanwhile, party officials lashed out at local civil society groups, accusing them ...

Georgia's parliament has voted in the first reading to approve a highly controversial foreign agent law, amid mass street protests. The legislation would require media and non-commercial organizations to register as being under foreign influence if they receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad. Thousands gathered outside parliament in Georgia's capital Tbilisi to protest for the third night on Wednesday. Opponents say the proposal would obstruct Georgia’s long-sought prospects of joining the European Union. They denounce the bill as “the Russian law” because Russia has used similar l...

Ayer el Parlamento de Georgia votó en primera lectura para aprobar la ley que requeriría que los medios de comunicación y las organizaciones no comerciales se registren como "agentes extranjeros" si reciben más del 20% de su financiamiento del extranjero. Miles de personas se reunieron frente al Parlamento para protestar. Los opositores dicen que la propuesta obstaculizaría las tan esperadas perspectivas de Georgia de unirse a la Unión Europea. El borrador ha sido llamado "ley rusa" porque Moscú utiliza una legislación similar para estigmatizar a los medios independientes y a las organizacione...

La nueva legislación exigiría que los medios de comunicación y las organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro se registraran como entidades que "que persiguen los intereses de una potencia extranjera", si reciben más del 20% de sus fondos del extranjero. Una disposición que, según los críticos, se aprovecharía para perseguir y amordazar a las 'voces independientes'. La coalición de fuerzas gobernante, 'El Sueño Georgiano', propuso y retiró, el año pasado, una versión casi idéntica de la ley, lo que ha provocado protestas masivas en las calles de la capital de Georgia, Tiflis. A pesar de la creciente op...

The legislation would require media and non-profit organisations to register as "pursuing the interests of a foreign power" if they receive more than 20% of their funds from abroad, a provision that critics say would be exploited to target and muzzle independent voices. First proposed and later withdrawn last year by the ruling party, Georgian Dream, a nearly identical version of the law has been tabled again, prompting mass protests. Despite the growing contestation, the Georgian parliament advanced the law on Wednesday with 83 votes in favour and zero against in a first reading boycotted by ...
