NATO: Georgia's 'foreign agent' law goes in the 'wrong direction'

NATO described Georgia's adoption of a controversial 'foreign agent' law, which aligns with Russian legislation, as a 'step in the wrong direction,' stating that it 'diverts' Tbilisi from its aspirations to join the European Union and NATO.

NATO spokesperson Farah Dakhlallah stated on her X platform, "The Georgian government's decision to adopt legislation on 'foreign agents' is a step in the wrong direction and moves Georgia away from Euro-Atlantic integration."

She added, "We urge Georgia to change course and respect the right to peaceful protest."
