Georgia’s president has vetoed a “foreign agents” bill that has split the country and appealed to the government not to overrule her over a law she said was “Russian in sprit and essence”.
Salome Zourabichvil followed through on her stated intention to use her veto on Saturday although the governing Georgian Dream party has the votes to disregard her intervention.
“Today I vetoed a Russian law,” she said. “This law is Russian in its essence and spirit.
“It contradicts our constitution and all European standards, therefore it represents an obstacle to our European path.”
Wow thats weird to see, the US government being on the side of protesters
The protesters are pro EU and so is the US. The US does not want Georgia to be part of the Russian sphere of influence.
They are always on the side of protestors in countries where they don’t like the elected government. They even fund them through the NED
