Georgia should repeal its divisive "foreign influence" law, according to the Council of Europe's Venice Commission. The law, which the Georgian parliament approved in the final reading last week, would require media and NGOs to register as "foreign agents" if they receive more than 20% of their funding from abroad. It has sparked mass protests, amid fears the law could be used to curb press freedom and opposition voices. Similar legislation was used by the Kremlin to stifle opposition voices, leading critics in Georgia to dub it "the Russian law". The Venice Commission said on Tuesday the gove...

La presidenta de Georgia,Salomé Zourabichvili, va a vetar la Ley de Influencia Extranjera, popularmente conocida como 'ley rusa' por su similitud a una normativa aprobada por el Kremlin en Rusia que supone un mayor control de los medios de comunicación y a las empresas extranjeras.
