Tens of thousands of Georgians have taken to the streets of Tbilisi in a powerful display of dissent against the government's proposed 'foreign agents' bill, a piece of legislation that has sparked widespread concern both domestically and internationally. Approximately 50,000 protesters braved heavy rain to voice their opposition to the bill, which critics argue mirrors repressive laws used in Russia to stifle dissent and control civil society. The bill, if passed, would require organizations receiving more than 20% of their funding from foreign sources to register as 'agents of foreign influence,' a move that many fear would severely restrict the operations of non-governmental organizations and media outlets in the country.The United States has expressed alarm over the proposed legislation, framing it as a choice for Georgia between adopting a 'Kremlin-style' law and pursuing its Euro-Atlantic aspirations. The international community, along with local activists, views the bill as a significant step back for democracy in Georgia, potentially aligning it closer to Russian influence rather than European democratic standards. The protests in Tbilisi and other cities across Georgia have not only showcased the public's resistance to the bill but also highlighted the broader geopolitical tensions at play, as the country navigates its relationship with both Russia and the West.Despite the government's insistence on moving forward with the bill, the massive turnout and peaceful nature of the protests have underscored the strength of opposition among the Georgian populace. Protesters have been chanting slogans such as 'Yes to Europe, No to Russian Law,' emphasizing their desire for Georgia to continue on a path towards European integration rather than succumbing to Russian-style authoritarianism. As the Georgian parliament prepares to consider the bill further, the international community and local activists alike wait anxiously to see whether the voices of tens of thousands of Georgians will be enough to halt the legislation's progress.
