Heya! Just got home from protests. Simply love Georgia, Georgians are the most proactive people I ever seen, it's really inspiring. I fled from Russia to Georgia, because Georgia is a free country, and I really would like it to stay that way, BUT UH... what are those protests about? WELLLL......

I'm asking you to share this and other posts about Georgian protests as much as you can

"The foreign agent law (also locally referred to as "the Russian law". On February 2023, the ruling majority of the parliament registered a draft law, addressing a completely made-up problem of transparency of non-governmental organizations. The law refers to non-governmental organizations that receive funding from abroad as "foreign agents." In Georgian, "foreign agent" carries the same meaning as "spy." Back in 2023, we managed to fight back against the law that would completely destroy student exchange programs, charity work, LGBT and disability organizations, etc. The law would also allow the government to persecute you for something inconsequential, such as an anti-government post on social media. If the law passes, it would cause most of Georgia to be locked out of international relations and would demolish most of our scarce support systems.
Current international brands that support "russian law" are:
Wendy's, Subway, Dunkin' Donuts
Those are not all of the brands that support the Russian law here, however they are the international ones that through their owners in Georgia support the passing of the law.
Additionally, the government has paid people outside the regions to protest in support of passing of the law, and has threatened them with losses of their jobs and the jobs of their family members.
The protests have been going for many days endlessly, and policemen have been getting more and more brutal. Utilizing things such as water jets, armor, shields, flashlights, smoke, rubber bullets, gas, etc.
Please stay with Georgia and support it."

Ah, the government wanting to ban foreign companies from paying Georgians while paying foreigners. The hypocrisy.
