Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili has canceled meetings scheduled for Tuesday in the United States, where she is visiting, and is preparing an urgent appeal to the population in connection with protests over controversial bills on “foreign agents”.
This is reported “European Truth” with reference to “First Channel” of Georgia.
“The President of Georgia is in the United States. The President cancels all meetings scheduled for today at the United Nations and is preparing to address the population,” the Georgian presidential administration said in a statement.
Recall, on the evening of March 7, the Parliament of Georgia passed on first reading the bill “On Transparency of Foreign Influence”, which largely inherits the Russian legislation on “foreign agents”.
Consideration of the project already on March 7 was a surprise, at first it was planned that it would be taken out to the hall on March 9. The discussion began in the absence of the majority of the opposition deputies.
The US Embassy called these events “a black day for Georgian democracy”. Thousands of protests broke out in the country, between the participants of which and the police there were clashes.
