We, the whole European Union, look very critically at the so-called law on agents, – German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced at a press conference held together with the Prime Minister of Georgia.
He claimed that “after this law was suspended, he very much hoped that it would no longer be on the agenda.”
“The new bill, in fact, has not changed, and it is almost the same as last year. We very much hope that Georgia will not adopt this law and that the Parliament will take into account our critical position and that of the population of Georgia. Therefore, in our conversation, I once again emphasized the importance of civil society, the cooperation of the opposition and the government, which is very important for public development,” the Chancellor of Germany said.
