Georgia,Assembly,Scuffle

Two members of parliament engage in fisticuffs over a controversial law on foreign influence transparency, sparking a scuffle in Georgia's assembly.

A scuffle erupted in Georgia ’s assembly on Monday as two members of parliament engaged in fisticuffs over a controversial law that has sparked debate in the country.

However, earlier this month, the government announced it would reintroduce the legislation, renaming it a bill on the “transparency of foreign influence”. However, critics argue that the bill is inspired by authoritarian laws neighbouring Russia uses to crush dissent and is an attempt to sabotage the country’s chances of joining the European Union .The parliamentary session turned chaotic when opposition MPs, concerned about the bill’s potential impact on Georgian sovereignty, clashed with supporters of the legislation.
