But the propaganda is so strong in this country that they are still some are making sure that some of their supporters believe they can actually deliver eu to georgia. But this is a pay will i. Its very important that all who still have some kind of hopes for georgia to realise and understand there is no way to the European Union with this kind of legislation and with this kind of legislation and with this kind of legislation and with this kind of thing. We are required to reform our country, to free judiciary and have elections but this legislation definitely jeopardises everything that we have to deliver in order to be able to go further into europe and the integration process. At the propaganda is extremely strong so its not very clear for everyone and thats why it is very important that our partners from the west take a serious response to this legislation.

We continue to watch the pictures, there you see the large crowds that have gathered through the course of today and they grew in size as the hour approached when inside the Parliament Building they were voting on this bill. The majority of mps in Parliament Voting to make it law and since then we have seen those clashes. But in the last hour or so it has slightly settled into two very set camps with a large group of protesters but the Security Forces not attempting to move them any further. There was an initial attempt to push them back away from the Parliament Building but since then we have seen those ranks of riot police stay more or less in place. Watching these live pictures as our europe Regional Editor and we were talking just thereabout the potential for eu membership and our guest saying the Georgian Dream party is not interested in that.

One is they say its about transparency and they say other countries its notjust russia that have similar laws. They point towards the us for example. They also say about georgian sovereignty, so the idea that if organisations and ngos are getting foreign funding that that somehow compromises georgian sovereignty. They say they want for georgia to join the European Union. That is their official position. But there are strong links with Bidzina IvanishviliThe Billionaire who is the power behind Georgian Dream. He is not the Prime Minister but hes behind the scenes. The kremlin interestingly says or accuses the eu and the west and the us of meddling in domestic politics. For many georgians they listen to that with extreme irony given the fact that russia invaded georgia in 2008 and controls to georgian provinces. That is part of the reason why protesters are so agitated about this law. You heard one of your guests talking about why not offer it up to a referendum because the Georgian Dream party says the majority of children support this law. I guess from the protesters point of view, if you are so confident about that offer it up for a referendum and we will save chosen people really supported.

We will for sure see protests from the eu, we will see official protests from the us.

But no sign at all that the government has been listening or plans to have any sort of compromise. That bill has become law in georgia with the prospect potentially of the present intervening, but certainly the numbers, they have those in parliament, and that is why all of those people are on the streets.
