Georgia's parliament has overridden President Salome Zurabishvili's veto on a controversial bill requiring media and NGOs with over 20% foreign funding to register as 'foreign agents.'

The bill has sparked protests and warnings from Western countries.

The Committee to Protect Journalists condemned the law, comparing it to Russian-style restrictions on press freedom.

International partners, including the EU and the US, criticized the legislation, voicing concerns about its impact on Georgia's EU aspirations.

Journalists covering the protests have faced harassment and attacks.

The US has imposed visa restrictions on individuals undermining democracy in connection with the legislation.

President Zurabishvili is leading opposition efforts, proposing a 'Georgian Charter' to address conflicting laws and combat corruption.

There are fears that the law aligns Georgia more closely with Russia rather than the EU.

Street protests in Tbilisi have seen tens of thousands demonstrating against the bill, marking some of the largest protests since Georgia's independence.
