    Georgia has the right to defend itself from foreign meddling

    US has a more stringent version of this law against foreign agents operating in American soil.

    The "No Leader Movement" was also said in Hong Kong, Myanmar, and Ukraine. It has nothing to do with "democracy" but everything to do with "global geopolitics". This model can be used across culture and geography aiming at "regime change" for the "alliance" of WWIII.

    Good job Georgia. You joined the club of US and Russia with the Foreign act Law.

    Regis said the majority of the people of Georgia oppose this, I've read elsewhere 60% approve. But the vast majority of the demonstrators may not be aware that the US has a stricter version of this law. The legislature will over rid the veto and then will many NGOs in Georgia will have to divulge that they are funded by the NED or the CIA.
