Pro-EU protesters clash with riot police in Tbilisi | DW News 

and be a second Ukraine 😅😅😅

Lol just another CIA organised "protest" while in USA cops with automatic weapons arrest peacefull protestors and law is just copy off law that USA also have

lol what freedom? Those who protest right now, they want to be the next urkaine. A usa/nato military colony to fight Russia in the future. They protest against a law that usa and eu have 😂 but for some reason they it’s a Russian law, meanwhile in usa same law exists, but it’s much more harsh than in Russia

@@NoobGamer-sc9lt base on your crooked logic Rusia lost 20 million people during war because they choose Communist.

United States in the UK had the same exact law. All it stating is that any news outlet has to be listed as a foreign agent. Basically this station, bbc, ect

@@ryandunevant7448 lol, anyone criticizing the little kremlin poisoner is being labelled extremists or foreign agents. Not even remotely the same.

Isn't the US ruled by cooperations which are similar to the oligarchs?

@@charlesodoch6070Under the eyes of press freedom and free speech

Still searching what is in this model or law that is bad. Tagging that it is russian and then saying it is bad, is out of my understanding. Ok, if it is russian copied law, what is in it that is bad. Only one thing they said in this video that they are making law to keep an eye on foreign investment on media. For me it is right decision, government want to know who is taking money and from where.

@@sebastianteister There is no such things as freedom of speech and free press based on what is happening in the West generally currently regarding pro Palestinian protests.

​@@charlesodoch6070 bulgarua is europe

Borat you rainbow butterfly ...

funny thing is.. the law will not only "keep Kremlin" out.. but the intent is to keep all foreign powers out (including the US). This is good, right ?

@@silafaupaulmeredith7251 enjoy your dictator and lies. Leave everyone else alone. No one wants to be affiliated with Russia. That's why NATO is expanding. Russian mafia corruption can stay in Russia. Georgia doesn't want anything to do with Russia either, even the Russians that left to live in Georgia. Putins neo-soviet imperialistic conquest will fail. By the way, Putin is wanted by the international court for war crimes. You sense the vibe here??

Do u think we want to be anything like brazil? We want to integrate in europe. More that 85% of the population does and its literally written in our constitution. Our role model is Poland, not Brazil.

Bro Brazil is a criminal hellscape.

Sure, go ahead and explain.

@@univeropa3363 "Consequently, an individual or organization could not be placed in the FARA database unless the government proved that they were acting "at the order, request, or under the direction or control, of a foreign principal" and proved that the alleged foreign agent engaged "in political activities for or in the interests of such foreign principal," including by "represent[ing] the interests of such foreign principal before any agency or official of the Government of the United States."

@@sebastianteister So your fig leaf is that America of all places would totally always do things by the book.🙄

@@univeropa3363 Well, the law is for the cases someone complains, right? There's no obligation to register but government has to veto. That sounds ok for me.

@@univeropa3363 the thing is this law calls "foreign agent" not only NGO's but media as well and any kind of legal entity that is not established by an administrative body and whos more than 20% income comes from foreign grants. it is not about transparency, this is the law which has russia and i think we all know how it all ended. also this is not american law FARA which is about lobbing, actually lobbing is also ilegal in georgia.

hahahaha thought the same

That bidzinas the oligarchs son lol

It is, he was passing by and stopped to protest with Georgians

🧐 Slimmerik 😏

because the USA is a free country

It already have. You have to diclose who is your donor to act there.

No! NEVER! USA would never pass such bill and would never call it "FARA law"!

@@user-ye2sm1gq7l No! Government has to prove that you are acting in the interest of a foreign government. Not every NGO has to register automatically.

Obviously the foreign agents are the politicians in Putin’s pocket

@@sebastianteister Exactly! There is a difference to registering only if you are in contact or are managed by a foreign government to just being labeled as a foreign agent if you receive 20% or more income from abroad. the income is already declared with the Revenue Service of Georgia, only purpose this bill supports is to discredit the organizations the ruling party isn't fond of.

vatnik 🤡

"What's happened to you, DW?" - yeah, in last 2 years DW really has fallen down with their quality of news.

How was the rally organized by the pro-Russian oligarch to support the law that is driving the country away from the EU a "pro-European rally"?

He is ivanishvilis son

That's not the same as throwing anyone in jail who criticizes the government while making money from exports or having a company headquartered in another country.

@@Thor.Jorgensen The same thing. They want to ban it because they can't control it. META, Google, X, all of them get our datas and sell it to private business to sand us personalized ads, why TikTok is any different? If you can't read between the line, that is your problem.

Because we don't have any independent institution, which can stop the governing party's unjust action.

That's a CNN thing, not a DW thing.

@@delos2279 Maybe watch their last video about the protests and see if it really is not their "thing".

@@nevarran Touche, just watched. Not even any pushback by DW against the baseless narratives. I stand corrected.

@@delos2279 Indeed. Quite a disgraceful interview.

Oh no, the poor pro-russian 5 percent that want this country tranformed into a criminal hellscape and want even more poverty for the people are "Intimdated" by protestors, oh no.

Problem is they will not mention any russian influence. Only western one

@@sH-ed5yf why? is it not good to show the western influenced NGOs? the more transparency the better

@@fotoz2363 Problem is. As in russia its used to shut down non state Media outlets.

the real question is who decides what a foreign agent is? that's the main problem here i think

@@savvas_1367 US has a foreign agents register.........lol.

@@novak7970 and your point is?

Our current government is corrupt and has money from the Kremlin, so it is run by the Kremlin. After the adoption of this law, the government will have the opportunity to resort to manipulations when the Georgian people want to work with agents of Western influence.

because the USA is a free country

@@enta2 free country ???

@@surendramumgai631 Yes and this law is not even similar to an American law. American law is from 1939 today we have 2024. You people are just repeating: this is American law this is American law like a robots 😂

@@enta2 the US govt is so strict about foreign media or groups or govts influencing their country's affairs...just see how they booted out RT and accused russia of meddling in the presidential election...why can't Georgia similarly protect itself by passing a law that prohibits foreign meddling ???

@@surendramumgai631 For the United States, Russia is a foreign country, but Georgia has been under Russian influence since the 18th century, and we are trying to get rid of Russian influence. Georgia was part of the Russian Empire from the 18th century until 1918 because Russia conquered the entire Caucasus in the 18th century. In 1921, Russia conquered Georgia and the entire Caucasus again and we became part of the Soviet Union. Therefore, Russia still has the power to obtain any information directed against it and hinder our development. If we pass this law, Russia will have all the information about who and where it is funded and where it gets advice from, what advice it receives, and what Georgia is planning. With this law we cannot protect ourselves from Russia, on the contrary, we will help Russia hinder our development.

Jens Stoltenberg was there last month.

You have to change your gov by yourself, like the Ukrainians did. A revolution cannot be done from outside.

Vote another government next time, if you are not satisfied with your government. That's the normal procedure - called democracy!

@@eddastrohmayer251 they said they wanted to join the EU, but are been controlled by a oligarch. If they lie than it's not democracy anymore.

What do you expect them to do? To "dethrone" Bidzina Ivanishvili by force and appoint a new, pro-European government in Georgia? They`ve been warning them to withdraw that law but all attempts have been futile so far. You must understand one thing that the Georgian Dream`s "pro-Russian" policy is based solely on fear. Bidzina is terrified even at the thought that Russia may attack Georgia. He`ll absolutely anything to rule out, even the theoretical possibility, to confront Russia. It`s his modus operandi.

That is a sign that you are consuming to much BAD news

You think it's funny?

USA, France and Germany also have this law.............lol.

Why? Well, if you're a corrupt politician who has been promised money and power by the Russian state. Promised that you would become forever-president of Georgia, promised that you'd be granted a gated palace with your own golf course and zoo in your backyard, and your own private yacht with helicopter pad? Yeah, that's why. Those politicians are Yanukovych all over again.

Yeah no, The NGOs that are financed by EU or US is already publicly disclosed and they register the funds received from foreign sources with Georgias Revenue Service. only purpose this bill supports is to discredit the organizations the ruling party isn't fond of. secondly, you can see Russia as an example, they have organizations that are supposed to investigate corruption and they only investigate ones that aren't in the pockets of politicians. we don't want either of this in Georgia.

A non governmental organization is just that, a nongovernmental organization. An EU nongovernemntal organization is a paradox, because EU is a government. So yes Russia do bad thing, so does the EU or US, this justh sheds bad light on the civic society and real democracy.@@3DBullet

@@gaborrajnai6213 That's the thing, most organizations financed by EU don't actively partake in politics here or ones that do aren't directly instructed to run a certain narrative, they build roads, gyms and help startup companies by grants. and the bill doesn't just effect organizations financed by foreign governments, it effects any company receiving funds from foreign companies. for example if Coca-Cola has a subsidiary company that makes drinks, that is a foreign agent also. even if it has nothing to do with politics. even so, maybe this law would be good if it was used fairly, but no one trusts our current government to fairly judge all companies and from their past actions they most likely will go soft on Russian owned companies and companies that align with their narratives. In conclusion, the law has a higher chance to be abused by the government than to benefit the people. EDIT: also, no NGO is an EU NGO, they are Georgian NGOs with Georgian Employees that get part (not all) of their funding from abroad.

you understand! many in the west really think the protests are genuine and coming from the people....

​@@gaborrajnai6213 In Russia, if you made money through RU-vid, Patreon of other social media, you could be branded a foreign agent if the government doesn't like you.

They didn't. Russian corruption seeped into the country, just as it did in Ukraine when Yanukovych was elected. Russian interference.

Can you plss go learn some geography .Europe goes to Ural mountain so 30% from Russia its also in Europe.

Learn better geografy

Classic example of jumping to a conclusion without providing any evidence.

@@nigelgarrett7970 what are you talking about? The United States has the same law that if a company has any ownership any sort of news agency they have to be listed as for agents for example DW news would have to be labeled as a foreign agent just like RT

​@@ryandunevant7448 Perhaps you can tell me why the BBC (a state funded media outlet) does NOT have to register under FARA to operate in America?

​@@nigelgarrett7970Anglo Saxon 😂😂😂

@@PeterLamin-pi6rv Nice guess, but wrong. Do you have anything intelligent to say?

Do you know what is funny? People who like to talk about FARA without reading it first.

​@@nigelgarrett7970 The law exist or not?

​@@user-ye2sm1gq7l Yes, FARA exists. Have you tried reading it before talking about it? Do you know who it applies to? Do you know the difference between FARA and RFAL, both in terms of how it is written and the guidelines for their use?

@@nigelgarrett7970 You can explain to everyone reading this. Do it. Explain how it is any different. I want to know.

Isn't this what happened in Ukraine in 2014?

Yes every coubtry has policies on this, it bout the details and intepretation.

Nonsense. This government is not popular and they're trying to use authoritarianism and Russian support to stay on.

lol do you want Georgians to become the next ukraine? A NATO’s canon fodder camp? You 🤡

Do you think that people are protesting about a law they know nothing about? If you try reading FARA and RFAL you will realise the difference between them.

@@nigelgarrett7970 I think, that people don't care what the law is about and protesting it because they were told (or even blackmailed by the EU) to do so. After all "If you pass this law, no EU for you!" Yeah, the difference between FARA and the Russian law is that in the US *you* have to register yourself, while in Russia you are registered automatically when you fulfill all the criteria.

@@RedBlackDish Sorry, do you have any evidence for any of your assertions? EU blackmail for example? If the EU could blackmail, then that must mean that the EU is a good place to join? I would also try to address your lack of knowledge about the Russian and American foreign agents laws if I were you.

@@nigelgarrett7970 maybe you should read the respective laws before schooling people online on them? You haven't demonstrated any knowledge of their texts here.

@@RedBlackDish I have (although I had to rely on machine translation for the Russian one). However, I am not the one trying to convince people that they are the same, you are. Perhaps you could share your insightful analysis of the two laws with everyone?

Which US human rights abuses?

The Federal Elections Committee specifically bans foreign financing of campaigns or lobbies whose intention is to influence US elections.

The same law is in usa and eu, but it’s called something different. Good example who became a victim of this law is Julian Assange 🤷🏼‍♂️;)

Julian Assange ;)

@@V-95K Yes, Julian was treated relatively wrongly, but unlike the Russian opposition, he is alive and they want to acquit him. Then tell me, what should the citizens of Georgia do? If the law is enforced, the government will have full power and there will be no opposition? What should the citizens of Georgia do so that the Georgian War of 2008 does not repeat itself?

Or in Russia, where you can also get your call up papers at the same time.

The killing and indiscriminate arrests of opposition leaders, aswell as protesters say otherwise. Russia isn't a saint, neither is the USA, but i'd rather live in a somewhat functional democracy than some oligarchical kleptocracy.

Yeah, Russia only puts you in prison for life with a stacked justice system against you. Plus, water cannons are not used in the US due to past incidents, but gas is still used.

So many falsehoods, where do we start. In the EU and the US, do they hand out call up papers to those they arrest at demonstrations? Can you get arrested for holding up a blank sheet of paper? Can you get arrested for having a pro-Ukrainian WiFi password?

Law for thee and not for me!

@@nigelgarrett7970 Over the past week, about 1,000 students have been arrested in the United States protesting against the government’s foreign policy. Answer: yes.
