There was a fight in the Georgian parliament over the law on foreign agents. The leader of the opposition party Citizens, Aleko Elisashvili, attacked the head of the parliamentary majority, Mamuka Mdinaradze, when he spoke about the above-mentioned bill.
A rally is taking place outside the parliament in Tbilisi against the law on foreign agents. Students joined the protesters. Opposition MPs hung the EU flag from one of the balconies of the parliament building. The demonstrators’ posters read “No to Russian law”, “No to Russia. Yes to Europe."
Earlier, similar rallies took place in Tbilisi. The country's president, Salome Zurabishvili, also opposed the law. She called on citizens to choose “between independence and slavery, Europe and the Russian Federation.”
