Georgia Parliament Overrides Presidential Veto to Pass 'Foreign Agents' Law
Georgia's parliament has overridden President Salome Zourabichvili's veto of a controversial "foreign agents" bill, despite criticism from the U.S. and EU, who view the legislation as authoritarian and Russian-inspired. The bill mandates organizations receiving over 20% of their funding from abroad to register as "agents of foreign influence." The move has sparked significant protests and raised concerns about Georgia's Western alignment.
