Georgia's ruling party is persisting with the 'foreign influence' bill, causing worries of Kremlin-like crackdowns, despite protests and Western pressure. The bill, if passed, would mandate NGOs and individuals with significant foreign funding to register as foreign-backed entities, with critics labeling it the 'Russian law.'
Critics point fingers at Bidzina Ivanishvili, the influential figure behind the bill. Ivanishvili, with the power to endorse prime ministers, appoint judges, and approve laws, is believed to be steering Georgia towards closer ties with Russia, veering away from Europe.
