Maia Punjikidze is not giving up hope just yet. It will take pressure from the street and Western partners to prevent the law on „transparency of foreign influence“ from coming into force, says the former ambassador in Berlin and former Georgian foreign minister. As expected, MPs from the ruling Georgian Dream party pushed the so-called foreign agents law through the third reading in the parliament in Tbilisi on Tuesday, despite protests in the country. The EU-friendly President Salome Zurabishvili has announced that she will veto the Russian-style law.
