Ned Price: ‘Bill on Foreign Agents’ might undermine the Euro-Atlantic integration

“We’re aware of the draft legislation in the Georgian parliament. We’re deeply concerned about its implications for freedom of speech and democracy in Georgia,” – said Ned Price, Spokesperson for the US Department of State, said the briefing when asked about the draft law on foreign agents.

According to him, statements that this legislation is based on our own Foreign Agents Registration Act – those are patently false

“We’ve expressed concerns directly to the Government of Georgia now repeatedly. The proposed law would stigmatize and silence independent voices of citizens of Georgia who are dedicated to building a better future for their communities, and we believe it’s – we believe such a law could potentially undermine Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic integration and the Euro-Atlantic aspirations that the people of Georgia have so clearly expressed time and again in recent decades.

“Statements that this legislation is based on our own Foreign Agents Registration Act – those are patently false. In fact, the legislation as we read it seems to have roots in similar Russian and Hungarian legislation, not American legislation”, said Ned Price.
