Georgia Enacts Controversial 'Foreign Agent' Law Amid Protests

Georgia's parliament has enacted a controversial "foreign agent" law, similar to Russian legislation, despite weeks of protests and a presidential veto. Critics argue the law, which mandates media and NGOs to register if they receive over 20% of their funding from abroad, threatens media freedom and Georgia's EU membership prospects. The ruling party claims it aims to prevent foreign interference, while opponents see it as a move to align Georgia closer to Russia. The EU and U.S. have expressed concerns, with the latter imposing travel sanctions on implicated officials.
