Majority Passes “Foreign Agents” Bill 83-23 in Second Reading

On May 1, the ruling majority passed the controversial Russian-style “Foreign Agents Law” in its second reading with 83 votes in favor and 23 against, despite strong opposition from international partners, opposition MPs and politicians, and ongoing massive public protests near the Parliament building.

Members of the parliamentary majority refrained from making speeches as the plenary session was scheduled to end within an hour. Only Anri Okhanashvili, a member of Georgian Dream, made a final address.

Concurrently, more and more citizens gather near the Parliament, protesting the law. Heavy riot police are also mobilized near the Legislative.
