The population of Georgia is massively against this [the bill on the transparency of foreign influence] and we support them," European parliamentarian Anna Fotyga said in Strasbourg, where a joint briefing of European parliamentarians is being held.

According to his assessment, the proposed law "shares the legislation of the Kremlin and threatens the civil society".

"We stand here in support of Georgia and the Georgian people. We united last year precisely because of this issue to vote for Georgia's candidate status. It was really an assessment of the will of the Georgian people, their long-term desire to rejoin the Western structures. Last year, we also saw a lot of Georgians against the so-called Russian law because it shares the Kremlin's legislation and threatens civil society. They are trying to spread Russian influence in Georgia. As we see, the population of Georgia is against it, and we support them," said Anna Fotyga.
