- The ruling Georgian Dream party said Thursday that it was dropping a controversial bill on "foreign agents." The announcement came after two nights of violent protests and criticism that the draft law represented an authoritarian shift in the country.
Georgian Dream said in a statement it would "unconditionally withdraw the bill we supported without any reservations." It cited the need to reduce confrontation in society.
The proposed bill, similar to laws in Russia, would have classified non-governmental organizations and media outlets as "foreign agents" if they received 20% or more of their funding from abroad.
The proposal was officially to target the disclosure of money flows from abroad, but protesters feared it would be used to harass government critics and clamp down on the opposition.

Good for the Georgians, they seem like good people and wish them all the best.
It's a CIA backed Orange revolution.
I have scores of friends from Georgia whom I met during my studies in Europe, they are very nice, kind and down to Earth people.
Georgians are shooting themselves in the foot by protesting this bill. This bill was designed to stop the same fools who are destroying the freedoms across Europe, and the Georgians have again allowed The global elite to play them like fools.
Yes. Citizens of EU should learn from them and protest the tyranny too.
@@denisgorjunov Especially Hungarians and Poles
People of Georgia, stay vigilant. They may try to put this bill through another way or quietly once everyone calms down.
I support the bill. This is about transparency. Foreign agencies shouldn't be allowed to operate anonymously.😡
@@tattletailtony6911 The logic and truth are scares these days.
Foreign agents of Russia would've had to register under this law, eu supporters accidentally helped Russia 🤦
@@tattletailtony6911 They are not operating anonymously. This has nothing to do with transparency, you certainly don't need to register as a "foreign agent" for transparency, sheesh. Try to pay attention to how these scammers operate, and don't be such a fish for euphemistic language designed to obfuscate and confuse. Wolves in sheep's clothing will say anything. Anything.
@@tattletailtony6911 as if draconian laws can stop them. CIA, DGSE, MI6, MSS, FSB can still operate even with those laws. Only ordinary people will suffer.
God bless the people of Georgia 🇬🇪
Keep up the great work Georgians, you don't want to become another Belarus.
You mean self profitable?
The Georgian president was literally born and raised in France and educated in the US. I'd wager that the puppet strings for this country could be seen from space.
Bravo to the people of Georgia! Stay strong and independent!! 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪 Support from America! 🇺🇸
Oh my God, again the slaves from Ukraine are dragging Georgians into the swamp after them. It will be difficult for Georgia to get rid of the shackles of the United States, these protest actions of paid fools show this.

Way to go Georgians keep up the fighting spirit. The world is watching and you're paving the way for others..
It's a shame the Russian Slaves and Serfs are not as brave as the Georgians.
@@Cannon_Fodder_Russians russia commits genocide, empty streets.
Georgia wants to pass a law that might limit freedom, streets are collapsed with people!
Dont let them take away your freedom 🇺🇦❤️🇬🇪
@@Cannon_Fodder_Russians Not as dumb as, you mean? This similar laws functions in Usa. And worse than that is in Germany, for instance, as Germ government decides by itself which news outlet or foreign org is allowed to operate in the country. For example, Russian news agencies was not allowed to operate in Germany even before 2022.
Not the Russians, firstly because they will never see this, secondly because if they did, the Russians are apparently too damned dumb to care. They pretty much do deserve to live in a fractured bunch of fiefdoms, which if they keep it up, that is pretty much where they may be headed. I saw a video the other day of Putin discussing exactly that, and what they are doing to protect those smaller sub "Russias" if that happens, and go figure, the first thing he mentions is creating private militias so that they can 'protect' themselves. Russian paranoia knows no bounds. I suspect the little Russia jr. plots will fight among themselves, which will be nice for a change, and they can probably figure out a way to further subdivide those. They never learn. USSR -> Russia -> ?.

This has nothing to do with the USA, it is about European cooperation and integration, and EU membership…. If they declare fellow Europeans in particular from EU countries as “foreign agents”, Georgia 🇬🇪 will not be able to join the EU. The EU is all about cooperation across national border, just fellow Europeans working with other Europeans.
@@eveadel1861 Aww you mad?😚
Europe please give us candidate status, like Ukraine and Moldova 🇪🇺🇬🇪 Georgian people deserve it! 🇪🇺🇬🇪 Don't leave us in Russia
That's really up to your leaders and your people at this point.
Keep protesting for it and be prepared for everything.....remember how Ukranians had to fight to push away the puppets from the Kremlin.
Georgia needs to fight for candidate status. Georgia gave up after 5 days of Russia-Georgia War. Why would the EU give status when Abkhazia and South Ossetia are still frozen conflicts fourteen years later?
@@priapulida What...What does even wokeness have to do with this? You Putin trolls are retarded or what??
Too much corruption in georgia and you still have a russian puppet government in charge so deal with that first then talk.

Absolutely
Do you know as an American you have had a similar law in place since 1938? 😆
Of course is in USA main interst to destabilise Russia and China so they can have their grabbing hands on everything lol
@@CommeradeZhukov Not even close to similar. But hey, who cares about that as long as you can muddy the waters against democracy..
Thank goodness for the Americans. How could the Georgians cope without these guys.
Lead the way 🇬🇪.
Keep strong Georgians
Best of luck and stay strong Georgians!
Well that’s one part of the conditions to become an EU member, free press. But they also have to get the oligarchs out of politics, and have to be fully democratic, only than they would be considered again. Rights for minorities….. Good luck with that, oligarchs run that country.
Easy to say. How can ordinary Georgians get oligarchs out of politics if those oligarchs stash their stolen billions in western banks and bribe western parliaments to push their own political agenda in the west?
My guy apple a corporation makes more money then the entire country of Italy and Elon musk is worth a hundred billion dollars please look in the mirror before you comment
So the issue was that the bill would have applied to NGOs and Media, NOT politicians, and would've allowed the government to shut down anything funded from outside?
Yeah, just like in USA
@@freeloader247 Derp
I wish I'd look more into it but can't find the time at the moment but from my understanding yes any media that would pass the 20% foreign funding limit would have reporting requirements, inspections, administrative and criminal liability including up to 5 years for violations. It would basically make any slightly foreign funded media have to jump many hoops and potentially risk serious prison time for violations. This would streamline the media to be more government controlled but even in this shape it would not be anywhere near the government controlled media Russia has but this bill surely did seem like a step towards that direction from what I can understand. Perhaps a Georgian can explain it more in depth.
@@freeloader247 You mean more like in Russia, where most of the critical media is labeled as foreign agents.
@@freeloader247 Nice low effort troll. More like in China or Russia.
Go Georgia............FREEDOM! There is great benefit in cutting ties with Russia. The EU has much more to offer economically, particularly considering Russia will soon be a failed state. Get out now while the getting is good.
You will get demographically replaced by mass immigration.
Yes. Citizens of EU should learn from them and protest the tyranny too.
Replace cheap Russia energy sources with very expensive ones, EU economy is going nowhere.😂
Georgia has sent many young students to study in the West, especially Germany, to prepare the country for a smoother integration into the EU. That's why Russia invaded into Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Now Georgia is in a difficult situation, they can't join the EU due to the frozen conflict. If they recognize the independence of those regions, Russia will invade the rest of the country.
@@AB-fi5jt acting like Russia is the only country with access to gas and oil lol, Europe economy is shocked but not going nowhere, will be just fine in a couple of years again

How do you feel about people who take to the streets of France and the USA and get batons on the head from the police?
Basically they announced “sit back, kids, chill, we’ll talk tomorrow” so everything is in the cards now
THATS how you do it !!!!! DONT let russians or anyone limit freedom
No one said Russian would be excluded from this bill. Makes you wonder who was against it.
@@hagestad Pay attention is class. The Georgian people where against this law. This bill was a mirror image of the same Russian anti freedom bill.
@@hagestad lol. It would. cause whole party is runned by russian oligarh. if that would pass, since they are running the country right now with their money and always do oposit what people want and try to always go with russian narrative, what do u think the bill was for ?

Love from America Georgia
Meanwhile, the US has had this law since the 1930s..

If media funded by foreign nations are acceptable, how come the United States shut down RT? Hypocrisy in action.
Shocking times…
As a sovereign nation, it is Georgia's right to welcome foreign influence and interference within its borders. LOL!
Comrade Ivan I wonder if you can say the same in Russia in front of a tv.
I am today a grateful to God, Georgian American.
YES !!!!! thats such a RARE type of victory >đ<
Im so happy georgians made it :)
They MIGHT lose their culture SLOWLY in the process but it will not be FOR FREE as it happened with the russians instead !
But its not a GIVEN... Israeli didnt ''lost'' their culture. If your culture is STRONG enough and JUST and GENEROUS ... you may exhibit georgian parades the year ROUND ....no one wil disturb you
IF your culture is weak however ...you'll be assimilated like in the Roman Empire days
While in France Macron ignores years of protests
Bravo to Georgia 🇬🇪 - unfortunately, only after violent protests, but, in many countries even such protests don't help to reason
Such as Canada, UK, France etc
you are right, the freedom of speach allows a person to be open about their opinions, it also allows the politicians to shut their ears to any protests, however, if enough are against something, something will change just like in Georgia.
@@Anashadk look at countries like Venezuela and Iran for instance. There is no reason but ideology and money dictating political actions. Georgia was borderline but got a grip to the right side of history. This time.
@@ANIMALS_AND_MORE_moments Yes, the Georgian president with French citizenship, who supports the protests while in the US, will not let you lie. Georgians on the hook of the west. The West will destroy the country, but it won't let you jump off the hook.
Love it
Stay strong citizens of Georgia and reject Russian influence in your lives! Maybe one day, your politicians will wake up and move completely away from Russian meddling.
The whole point of this law was to disclose if a foreign gov has influence! So striking down the law lets governments operate in secrecy influencing a nation. The US has the exact same law = FARA.
Amazing blindness and Russophobia. This law is directed against the media, which are financed from abroad, including from Russia. But Russia has not had any influence for a long time, but the West has completely subjugated Georgia. This law is an attempt to gain independence from the West. But the West will never let a slave go free.
So what of Canada?
good luck georgia
Yes, it is necessary to suppress the protests for the sake of the future of Georgia. Blackmailers will lead the country to a dead end.
Guess it's not as easy to play fast & loose w/people's liberty as the corporate toadies in parliament thought it would be, you go Georgia
America has the same law...
force the russians to leave. They need to return now that they know how Georgians protest. If you don't force them to leave now, russia will find an excuse to "liberate a russian minority"
I don't understand .Do you want Russia to help ? I'm from Australia
@@pierreverschueren7495 bruh are you serious? What is there to not understand. The comment stated the opposite from your question...
@@pierreverschueren7495 Ideally Georgia should deport Russians. Especially now that the Georgians have shown them that protest can force some change. But also because having a larger Russian minority seems dangerous. If they force the deportations of Russians… sure Russia will be mad but what are they going to do? Invade? They’re already really preoccupied barely holding onto the Ukrainian territory they’ve captured
There are many Russians there who do not support the war in Ukraine and fled there to avoid their evil government.
@@mcxxkapitankorkixxlphdpvp4462 Bruh I am still confused,what did I say wrong? I am pro Russia and if you are not , so be it.

Russia is weak Georgia will never have a better time to break free of this terrible terrorist state.
The west especially USA should concentrate on the people and their own borders. And stop unsettling sovereign countries
The western countries are the dictators
Well, it would also require Russian-funded organizations to register as foreign agents, right? If they actually followed the law, could that possibly do more good than harm? I guess it depends on how trustworthy the government is and who's in charge at the moment.
It's that last part..
Good job Georgians!

Lol
EU flags, Captain America props, come on, we all know it's another protest funded by NED.
You are elected to do the peoples work, and not to create laws that undermine the fundamental bases of which a free society suppose to function. Kudos to the protesters.
All these countries scrambling to join Russia, and the citizenry expressing their joy.
For a second there I wasn't sure which Georgia we were talking about...
Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova immediately into the European Union.
Why would the EU give status when Abkhazia and South Ossetia are still frozen conflicts fourteen years later?
@@sammiller6631 Because within the European Union and possibly NATO, Russian imperialist pretensions would calm down, the same discourse relating to South Ossetia and Abkhazia, territories practically invaded by the Russians, is the same as what concerns Transnistria in Moldova and Donbass and Crimea in Ukraine.
Read about economic situation in this countries. Are you ready to give your taxes to them? Instead of investing in your own country's social development it will go there. Are you personally ready?
@@NataLia-on3eo Europe is only one country, so it is normal for whoever is richer to help whoever is poorer... When Eastern European countries joined (East Germany, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Estonia) which came from the misery of Communism and Soviet tyranny, all these countries were helped... And first the countries that entered and were in poorer economic situations were helped, the Spain, Portugal, Greece and before that the poorest regions of the member countries, Southern Italy, Wales, Scotland, the Republic of Ireland...
Europe was born with the principle of helping those in difficulty and living together peacefully...
It is not like the Soviet Union/Russian Federation, where the Slavic ethnic group dominates all the others, making them second-class citizens.
@Il Legittimista yes, it's simple to be naive. I guess you know nothing about since "economy" and how it's working
Well, here we go! I think we all know how this ends.
Not this time, russia is way over their head in Ukraine.
YES we do. The people made their voices heard and the people WON.

push, then back off........
Thank You DW News! There has been NO news about this in the USA(🤡) I have been watching it live on a stream for 2 days now. So happy for the people! WARNING- they may try to rewrite the bill and pass it through “quietly”. Happens all the time in America!😡😡😡
Remember boys and girls
When americans storming them Capitol its a riot and a crime scene.
When georgians do so, its a literal magic and freedom.
Is that the new copy/paste GRU troll response?
And no one told Americans that TV stations reporting on that were owned by GE, Blackrock and Vanguard. If that's not a conflict of interest i don't know what is.
Two major differences. 1. Americans stormed a government building by destroying it and breaking into it. 2. Georgians are, by protesting, highlighting the democratic problems that exists within the country when these kind of things have to happen for the public opinion to be heard, meanwhile the Americans who stormed the capitol were rioting AGAINST democracy.
@@hagestad Explain the connection, thanks
@@genoric4094 There was weakest forceful entry to Capitol in history as evident in recent videos.
The united states also have the same law on non-governmental organizations, so I don't know what the problem is, I know it must be okay when even the most democratic country in the world has it, and here you can see why it is so, these non-governmental organizations organize
Bravo to the people of Georgia! I am happy to see the government back down from the "copy and paste" of Russia's 2012 Foreign Agent law (121-FZ). Keep the pressure on them y'all 👏
We have seen this before, same as in Ukraine Maidan. Western agents are busy,
Ukraine voted to join eu..the leader ignored them then fled to Russia after Putin tried to bribe him and the next day the Ukrainian government voted him out by 100% because he was attempting a one man Coup..foreign agents lol..o.k Kremlin gremlin come back with some facts.
