No to this law and no to all those initiatives that take us away from our main goal and threaten our future - Shota Arveladze, the former player of the Georgian national team, makes this statement on the social network.
"There is no case when, in any period of history, Russia supported us in such a decision that was useful for our country and people. Therefore, no to this law and no to all those initiatives that take us away from our main goal and threaten our future," Shota Arveladze wrote.
The Legal Affairs Committee of the Parliament of Georgia considered and approved the draft law On Transparency of Foreign Influence in the first reading after a 12-hour-long discussion.
The amendments provide for the registration of non-entrepreneurial (non-commercial) legal entities and media as “the organizations pursuing the interests of a foreign power” if a certain amount of their income, over 20 percent, is received from abroad.
