Any Protestor that stops MP's entering: Parliament
will get 4 years in jail



[Protests in Georgia have continued
in a last-ditch effort to prevent the
passing of a controversial law.

After an overnight standoff with protesters
outside parliament in Tbilisi, security forces
pulled out from the main square on Monday morning.
Critics of the governing Georgian Dream party
say the foreign influence bill - which they describe
as the "Russia law" - could be used to stifle dissent.

The final voting on the proposed legislation
is scheduled for Tuesday.

On Monday morning, Georgian Dream
lawmakers rushed it through a
committee vote, approving it in 67 seconds.

The bill - now due to go for its
third and final reading - targets civil
society organisations and independent
media that receive foreign funding.

Protesters are concerned that it would
be used by the government to clamp
down on opponents, and would harm
Georgia's hopes of joining the
European Union.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators spent
the night outside Tbilisi's parliament
building, dancing as it rained through
the dark hours.

Once the sun rose on Monday,
MPs from the governing party arriving
ahead of the session were met with
shouts and chants of "slaves" and
"Russians".
Ranks of police with shields and
water cannon were stationed to allow
legislators to get into the
parliament building.
Photos and footage online appeared to
show violent altercations between
protesters and police.
Two US citizens and one Russian were
among 20 people arrested at protests,
Russian state news reported,
citing the Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Protesters plan to continue their
noise through the parliamentary session
in the hopes the sound will encourage
MPs to reconsider voting for the bill.]

Seems strange because the bill doesn't sound that controversial in principle, just creates more transparency?

I read somewhere that the President will probably veto it anyway and then they'd have to spend months getting it through again

No, it means they can not enter/join the EU.

They also say
The president can not stop it in the end

Georgia has a lot more on it's plate than joining the EU. It likely won't exist in a couple of years

Yes that's why they want to join the EU
so Putin does not swallow them.

the eu wont take them when they are unstable, so that is a non starter

They will not now
after that Bill was passed in its first stage
