Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on Wednesday said he had clearly confirmed to country’s European and American “friends” that the ruling Georgian Dream party would not revert to the domestic bill on transparency of foreign influence, which it retracted from the Parliament voting following domestic and international backlash in March.
“Our European and American friends were wondering about this question. I clearly confirmed, on behalf of our team, our position that Georgian Dream is not going to return to the bill on ‘agents of foreign influence’. This issue is closed, and we will not return to this issue”, Garibashvili said.
The Russian law on agents was initiated by "People's Power" in the parliament, and later, after a strong public reaction, it was withdrawn.
