"Violent Clash Erupts in Georgian Parliament Over 'Foreign Agent' Legislation"
Georgian lawmakers engaged in a brawl in parliament as the ruling party pushed forward a controversial bill requiring organizations that accept foreign funds to register as foreign agents or face fines, sparking criticism from Western countries and protests at home. The bill has reignited tensions over Georgia's relations with the West and Russia, with critics labeling it as "the Russian law." The adoption of the legislation is likely to deepen divisions in the country, with the staunchly pro-Western president condemning it as damaging to democracy.
