Georgia refuses to fulfill one of the conditions for joining the EU
Nov 3, 2024
The Georgian authorities will not fulfill one of the requirements for resuming movement towards the EU. It is about the withdrawal of the so-called law on “foreign agents”.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Channel One.
The statement was made by Mamuka Mdinaradze, secretary of the ruling Georgian Dream party. The journalists asked whether the Georgian Dream would withdraw the law “On Transparency of Foreign Influence,” also known as the law on “foreign agents,” after the election.
“No. You will not be happy, but we will not withdraw it,” he said in response.
According to him, if Georgia had not passed this law, “tens of thousands of people would be standing on Rustaveli Avenue right now.”
“Both this law and the ban on propaganda (referring to the law banning “LGBT propaganda”) were legitimized by the majority of the Georgian people,” Mdinaradze said.-
