Backlash As Georgian Parliament Prepares To Vote On Overriding Presidential Veto Of 'Foreign Agents' Bill

TBILISI, GEORGIA - MAY 28: Demonstrators wave Georgian and European flags in front of the Georgian Parliament Building, as the parliament overrides the veto on the Foreign Influence Law on May 28, 2024 in Tbilisi, Georgia. Georgian parliament convened on Monday to discuss overriding President Zourabichvili's veto of the "foreign agent" law, ahead of Tuesday's plenary vote. Following the bill's approval on May 14, thousands of protesters clashed with police outside the parliament building in downtown Tbilisi. Tensions remain high, with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urging Georgia last Thursday to repeal the law and introducing visa restrictions for those who threaten democracy.
