Majority MP: No need to withdraw; bill is of European origin, focusing on transparency

“It is not a Russian law,” stated Davit Matikashvili, the first deputy chair of the Legal Issues Committee and a parliamentary majority member, during the Parliament’s deliberation of the draft law on Transparency of Foreign Influence.

Responding to calls from opposition members to retract the draft law, Matikashvili underscored that there is no justification for such action.

“There is no need to withdraw anything. This bill is of European origin, focusing solely on transparency and nothing beyond that,” Matikashvili clarified to reporters.
