President of Georgia Announces European Choice of Her People

The people of Georgia have always and at all times, including in the streets, made only one choice - the path to Europe. This was stated by President Salome Zurabishvili.
The law that was initiated and that I promised to veto runs counter to all the principles of the European Union. And this happens when we are waiting for the status of candidate country. A few months ago, Ukraine and Moldova were granted the status, Georgia - no. The people of Georgia know how important this is for us. He understands very clearly that he needs Europe», the president said.
Today, after two days of mass protests, the ruling party «Georgian Dream» issued a statement on the withdrawal of the law on foreign agents. Representatives of civil society and many democratic states called this decision the will of the people, who did not want to copy the Russian practice of political persecution.
