Georgian security forces clashed with protesters outside parliament over a bill labeling organizations with 20% foreign funding as 'foreign agents', leading to a crackdown. The opposition, supported by Western nations, condemns the bill as authoritarian and potentially influenced by Russia, sparking a political crisis.

The use of tear gas, stun grenades, and water cannons against anti-government demonstrators in Tbilisi has intensified the situation, drawing criticism from the EU. The proposed legislation has raised concerns about potential suppression of dissent and closer alignment with Moscow, fueling widespread unrest and a heated debate within Georgia.
