The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) said the draft Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence prepared by the People’s Power faction of the Georgian parliament raises several concerns about its compatibility with democratic and human rights standards.

“The draft law “On Transparency of Foreign Influence” that was tabled by the People’s Power Faction raises several concerns with regard to its compatibility with democratic and Human Rights standards,” the PACE rapporteurs on Georgia, Claude Kern and Edite Estrela tweeted.

The rapporteurs called on other political factions not to support the draft bill that would have a “chilling effect if adopted.”
