Lawmakers brawl as Georgian parliament considers ’foreign agent’ bill | VOA News
Georgian lawmakers came to blows in parliament Monday as ruling party legislators looked set to advance a controversial bill on “foreign agents“ that has been criticized by Western countries and sparked protests at home.
Footage broadcast on Georgian television showed an opposition MP punched a ruling party lawmaker, who co-sponsored the bill, in the head at a parliamentary hearing, prompting a wider brawl and the video’s live feed to be cut.
The ruling Georgian Dream party said earlier this month it would reintroduce a legislation requiring organizations that accept funds from abroad to register as foreign agents or face fines, 13 months after protests halted the plan.
