On February 20, the party “Power of the People” initiated a law on agents of foreign influence in the Parliament of Georgia. The party itself is linked to the ruling “Georgian Dream” party, which has already declared its willingness to support the law during voting .
If the law is passed, non-governmental organizations and media outlets that receive more than 20% of their funding from foreign sources will have to register as “agents of foreign influence”. If such registration is denied, organizations will face a fine of $9,400 USD, and a review by the Ministry of Justice for non-compliance with the requirements.
