Testers clash with ryan Police Outside the parliament into please see the difference of people took to the streets to denounce the latest development and to come to the news that they say pushes georgia, of course to membership into the sphere of the kremlin influence. I dont know why still seen all those lots in the funded the government officials sitting in the Parliament Saying that they are going to be the ones to take out freedom away from us. Because we georgia, we are a fee and it will always buy for freedom. The if the for an agent no pulses, any media comes to and you know, that gets 20 percent more of its funding from abroad. Will be obliged to register assuming the interest of a foreign power opponents cooler to search harry, and that georges Prime Minister at rock creek about, hed say, defended the bill, put forward by his Georgian Dream party. Going to the office today is the most important day in terms of strengthening the independence and sovereignty of our country. The adoption of the law on transparency of foreign influence, great, strong guarantees of long term peace and tranquility in georgia. And to overcome so called polarization. It is a necessary condition for georgia integration into the European Union at these totes and see it has exactly the opposite. Large demonstrations have been taking place 2 weeks on the streets of the blue sea and protest to say they went stilton to below. It says a ton a reporter maria cut mazda is in tbilisi and joins us now. Were at the protest, have not stopped the bill from getting parliamentary approval. Now that, that controversial bill has passed parliament or the protests likely to stall of the well, indeed the pros has smoothman here in georgia is still continuing. The protesting that is still running high. The capital city is b. C. Some of the protesters were detained yesterday and the some of the thousands of protesters are still remain the custody. And one of the costs of the organizes of this protest is to free all of them. And they say they will not stop until the government reconsider its decision to, to actually cancel this bill, even though the government doesnt show any tons intentions to do so at this point. And it protects to say that they will not stop because this is a historic and crucial moment for their country when they have to fight for the democracy for the future in the u. S. And you had that they are in the reports. So they say that now the problem just, it is the bill that they dont like, but the pro russian government, as theyve been telling me, and they have to make more pressure on the governments to try and stop them from stealing them away from europe towards russia. Bill, the bill will go to president solomon sort of this really for final approval. I understand, but she says she will not sign it into law. So what happens next . So the next stage is the bill goes to the president and the president , the provost in presence of rubbish. Really. She already wrote that she will actually veto this bill. But um it keep in mind that the president in this country has a very symbolic and ceremonial role. She, she doesnt have any power actually to stop this bill. But she is a supporter of the protest as she from the start she sided with them. And the protests to see has a need that uh, that could actually help them to, to make some professional development. But uh the uh, also whats important that the president said that she will united the opposition, which is very fragmented in this country. There is, is the polarization going on in georgia. And its also a sign of how much of the importance of this bill holds that the opposition. This was so fragmented, they decided to do not as a and uni unit front. They say that they are going to need the pro European Movement with the leadership of their president s so long as they were basically right. Yeah, thank you very much.
