Georgia Nears Approval of Controversial 'Foreign Agents' Law Amid Massive Protests

The contentious legislation, likened to Russian laws, threatens Georgia's EU aspirations as public dissent escalates.

Georgia's parliament poised to pass the 'foreign agents' bill, requiring NGOs and media with over 20% foreign funding to register as foreign agents.
President Salome Zourabichvili pledges to veto the bill, though the ruling Georgian Dream party can override it.
Mass protests in Tbilisi draw tens of thousands, with demonstrators clashing with police in opposition to the bill.
International backlash intensifies, with EU and U.S. officials warning the bill could derail Georgia's European integration.
Resignations and public condemnations from Georgian officials and diplomats underscore the domestic political crisis.
