NATO supports Georgia in repealing the law on foreign agents

The Parliament of Georgia withdrew the draft law «On transparency of foreign influence», which is an indicator of the country’s desire for Euro-Atlantic values and protection of fundamental freedoms. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

I call on political leaders of Georgia to work together on necessary reforms, and NATO is also working with the government to implement these reforms, strengthen democratic institutions, fight corruption. The people of Georgia clearly said that they want democratic prosperity and its integration into the Euro-Atlantic region», - said Jens Stoltenberg.
The revocation of the unpopular bill on foreign agents who put the media and civil organizations under full control occurred only after mass protests. 

The Georgian Parliament will again consider the draft "About deoligarchization" in the second reading, taking into account the recommendations of the Venice Commission. This law is one of the points for Georgia’s accession to the EU.
