The US once again appealed to the authorities of Georgia regarding the law on "foreign agents"
We are deeply concerned about the democratic rollback in Georgia. Georgian MPs are facing a critical choice — to support the Euro-Atlantic aspirations of the Georgian people or to pass a Kremlin-style law on ‘foreign agents’ that contradicts democratic values.

The National Security Advisor added that the rhetoric and actions of the ruling Georgian Dream party have recently contradicted the aspirations of Georgian citizens and are aimed at turning them away from the United States and Europe.
We stand with the Georgian people, Jake Sullivan added.
Georgians protest in Tbilisi against the law on "foreign agents"
Protests against the adoption of the Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence have resumed in Tbilisi.
