TBILISI: Tens of thousands of people rallied on Wednesday in Georgia against a controversial"foreign influence" Bill, after parliament advanced the measure that Brussels has warned would harm Tbilisi's long-standing European aspirations.
"I am following the situation in Georgia with great concern and condemn the violence on the streets of Tbilisi," von der Leyen wrote on social media platform X. "Their senseless violence is futile - the protest will only grow as popular anger is growing against our government," protester Tato Gachechiladze, 20, told AFP.
Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze criticised Western politicians and diplomats for"slandering" the Bill, which will only"boost transparency of NGO's foreign funding in accordance with European values."
