  1. Don’t let those Russian bastards win in Georgia! They want Georgia not becoming a member of EU. Where Russia or there influence goes there is only pain, death and murder. Don’t believe anything a Lobbyist from Russia or a Russian says. Free Georgia! Long live Europe!

  2. Scuffles broke out in Georgia’s parliament on Monday over the government’s re-introduction of a controversial “foreign influence” bill that critics say mirrors repressive Russian legislation used to silence and intimidate dissidents.

    The ruling Georgian Dream party announced the proposal earlier this month, reviving a similar bill that was dropped a year ago after mass protests.

    Video from a parliamentary hearing showed an opposition MP punching a ruling party lawmaker who co-sponsored the bill in the head, prompting scuffles and the live feed to be cut.

    The scuffle came as dozens of Georgians rallied outside parliament against the proposed law, which undermines Georgia’s bid for European Union membership.

    As a Hungarian, I can relate.

    I wish our MPs (uk) were more like the guy throwing the punch, seems like he has some passion and is trying to stop tyrany.

    Really strange to see a video from today with the quality of an early 2000s amateur video. Also, I rarely advocate for violence, but it is warranted for such oppressive laws. I hope we could see something like that in other countries as well.

  6. I found this commend [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/1c4jpa5/the_distinguished_prorussian_political_figure_is/) written by u/ThaRoma:

    Where: Georgia (country) 🇬🇪

    Who: Manuka Mdinaradze – the leader of the parliamentary majority and faction “Georgian Dream”

    Context: they’re trying to introduce the law “On transparency of foreign influence”. Which is basically a Russian law that establishes Putin’s rules in Georgia, which has eliminated free speech in Russia.

    I support politicians settling down differences in a pub-like brawling.
