Hold on. Back up. I can see why reporting on foreign funding media can make peoppe wary cause of how it could benefit the kremlin. This is a legitimate concern.
But how and why does that law make it incompatible with the values of Europe and the west
At it's heart it's about transparency. To properly contextualize what you are told, you should know who is telling you those things and what their motives and biases may be. That applies to everyone.
Knowing a media company is a cheerleader for the EU and if it's funded or not funded by the EU makes a difference to how that message should be received. Even if it's a good thing in both cases.
How is the right to be informed incompatible with the west If this is really what governments are telling Georgia, it makes their motives sound very suspicious!

In otherwords there are a bunch of companies in Georgia getting funding from other countries. Why would people protest against revealing where their funding comes from Common folks would never protest against something this silly. Only reason someone might be against it is if that funding is coming from an enemy of the country who is trying to fund a revolution. The US likes to do that a lot. Yeah. This whole protest stinks of US activists and US media. Ok RealLifeLore you convinced me: The US are trying to fund a rebellion in Georgia and this law would stop that funding. So a bunch of paid Americans went to Georgia to protest against that law. This is why the protesters are waving signs with English words despite the fact that Georgians don't use English.

Just wanted to say that while Saakashvili did lose the 2012 presidential election, he did not lose to Ivanishvili. Giorgi Margvelashvili won the Georgian presidential election and remained president until 2018 as an independent--though as a part of the Georgian Dream coalition--but slowly became more critical of the Georgian Dream's consolidation of power and ultimately did not seek re-election. Ivanishvili became the Prime Minister of Georgia in 2012, not president. Doesn't change the fact that the Georgian Dream party controls, but there is a slight error in elected positions here.

as a Georgian, living in Georgia, i want to put out my stance on this matter, so the non-locals are not confused. only a part of the society is against this law. everybody should be just waiting for the elections (coming october) to vote and decide what we want through elections. (accusations that elections will be rigged is as laughable and lacking any real argument as it was 4 years ago)

Georgia has just brought in legislation to suppress US funded NGO's from interfering in their internal affairs - stopping the chance of so called colour revolutions and NED/Oslo Freedom Forum, funded and trained militants from gaining influence! Effectively the US and their plans for Georgia, are finished - just like the US economy!

Truth be told EU values are incompatible with a large part of the EU population. Perhaps we should not judge the Georgians so harshly. As for the law itself the devil is in the detail but on face value, knowing who supports an NGO sounds like useful information for the population to have as well.

Those who occupied now Abkhazia are Apsuas, not Abkhazs.
Abkhaz is ethnically Georgians.
Apsuas are from north Caucasus, like Adygea and Karachay-Cherkessia.
And your numbers about Abkhazia war is incorrect:
Forcibly moved - more than 350, 000.
Killed - more than 10, 000.

What's wrong with disclosing the founding streams The law says nothing about their inability to operate in Georgia, only the founding has to be disclosed providing more transparency, who exactly doesn't want such transparency

The only problem with this law is that it wasn't proposed early enough to actually stop US backed NGOs from propagandizing the populace into turning their own country into a meatgrinder for the sake of foreign western powers.

Yes this law same type is implemented in USA and Canada, for example. So what you saying here is propaganda. The economy is amazing in Georgia now even growing. So the Cia and NGOs don't want this law. Stop your propaganda.

You’re usually on point, but your understanding of Armenia’s current geopolitical position is very flawed.
AZ and RA are close allies, Armenia is only part of CSTO by name, RA would never side with Armenia over AZ.

Maybe I'm missing something but if the government agreed not to act based on the ownership what's actually wrong with that law
I mean the government is clearly bonkers, but that's a bigger problem

This law seems to make perfect sense. why would you want foreign countries to decide who will lead your country I mean, if we're talking about dictatorships, sure. but this is a democratic country.

Honestly, simply labeling that you get substantive amounts of foreign funding seems like a reasonable law. I get why people object contextually. But purely on paper it’s a pretty reasonable demand

So I'm listening to this in the car. And I thought my car was making noise and then I realized it's whatever weird background noise you have in this video.
Don't do that, it serves no purpose.

If their government is going against the will of so much of the population, and against their own constitution that much, then that government should be overthrown by the citizens themselves.
