Georgia's president plans foreign agent law veto as 'symbol' DW 05/15/2024
Briefly

President Zourabichvili plans to veto the 'foreign influence' law, seeing it as moving Georgia away from its European path, even though Parliament may override her veto.
Critics view the law as a threat to domestic freedoms and EU aspirations. EU warns of potential freeze of Georgia's accession process, comparing the law to those in Russia.
President Zourabichvili criticizes the law as duplicating the Russian approach, questioning the claimed goal of transparency by stating that such tracking of resources is already in place.
Zourabichvili raises concerns that the law discredits organizations by labeling them as agents of a foreign power, potentially harming their reputation in the eyes of the public.
