European Parliament member, Anna Fotyga, on Wednesday, said, “the new bill [on Transparency of Foreign Influence] and violence that followed are not only an issue of concern. It is a hazardous game.”

“Bad news keep coming from Georgia, an exceptional country we all admire because of its people, culture, history, and heritage,” she tweeted.

Georgians have been protesting for a second day against the so-called Foreign Agents bills that would require non-governmental and media organizations receiving more than 20% of their funding from abroad to register as “foreign agents.”

The “No to the Russian law” rally kicked off on Tuesday after the Georgian Parliament passed a first reading of the legislation. To disperse the crowds, the police used tear gas and water cannon.
