President on 'Foreign Influence Transparency Bill': Is a copy of what Putin successfully imposed in Russia

First of all, it is clear that 80% of the population supports the European future, European integration, Euro-Atlantic integration and has been so for the last 30 years. So, whoever goes against this will of the Georgian people, does not represent the Georgian will, Georgian independence, but something else, - said the President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili in an interview with France24.

According to the president, she will veto the bill.

"And when the law that will be used is a copy of what Putin successfully imposed in Russia, with the results we have seen - there are no more non-governmental organizations, there is no more opposition and everything is controlled, this is not a future that the people of Georgia can accept. This is not the future I will accept.

I will veto the law. I know that they will overcome the veto, but I am speaking here, I am expressing the will of the Georgian population, which is visible in the streets, and if you look at who represents the population, these are mainly the young generation who are in the streets of Tbilisi today to say "NO" to Russia, to say "NO" to the Russian law Zurabishvili said.
