The EU will freeze Georgia's membership bid if it enacts its controversial "foreign agents" law, the Financial Times (FT) reported on May 15, citing three undisclosed EU officials. The bill requires organizations that receive foreign funding to be labeled as "foreign agents" and mirrors repressive Russian legislation used to crack down on Kremlin regime critics. Georgia's parliament passed the bill in its third and final reading on May 14. "We have been very clear ... this is a showstopper," a person briefed on discussions between Georgia and the EU told the FT, adding: "(The Georgian governme...

Shares in Georgia's two largest banks, TBC and Bank of Georgia, dropped sharply on May 15, the day after U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Jim O'Brien warned top Georgian government officials about potential consequences should the controversial foreign agents law be enacted. London-listed shares in the two banks plummeted to their lowest single-day declines since the spring of 2020, at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Some analysts in Georgia believed the drop, which impacted other financial institutions, was directly connected to the passing of the law. Georgia's parliament passed the co...

Decried by opponents as the "Russian law" because of its resemblance to legislation imposed by the Kremlin, the Foreign Influence Law marks a major blow against pro-democracy NGOs working against electoral corruption.

Dakhlallah ha señalado que la decisión del Gobierno georgiano de aprobar una ley sobre los denominados agentes extranjeros es un paso en la dirección equivocada. Así, ha añadido que se aleja aún más de lo que ha descrito como integración europea y euroatlántica. Los diputados aprobaron la normativa el martes con 84 votos a favor y 30 en contra en el marco de la tercera sesión de debate del controvertido proyecto de ley. Las voces críticas conocen a esta medida con el nombre de 'ley rusa' y condena...
