A lawsuit against the law on foreign agents will be filed with the Constitutional Court of Georgia and the ECHR

Non-governmental organizations (NGO) of Georgia have announced their intention to fight against the law on foreign agents in the Constitutional Court. If this does not produce results, the dispute will continue in the European Court.

“Georgian non-governmental organizations continue their legal struggle against Russian legislation. The Constitutional Court has the opportunity and time to use the mechanisms at its disposal. We will win together. No to Russian law! Yes to Europe!” – says a statement from the non-governmental sector.

Earlier, Georgian NGOs expressed disobedience to the law on foreign agents adopted by the ruling party. It is called an analogue of the Russian law.

Representatives of European countries also reacted to the situation in Georgia. Thus, British Foreign Minister David Cameron expressed his support to the Georgian people.

“The Georgian people have made it clear: their future is linked to the Euro-Atlantic community. By overriding President Zurabishvili's veto of the foreign influence law, the Georgian government moved away from these aspirations. “The UK stands with the Georgian people,” Cameron wrote

On May 28, the Georgian parliament overrode the president’s veto of the bill “On Transparency of Foreign Influence.” The ruling Georgian Dream party voted for him.
