The head of state said that the Ukrainian people want “our friendly Georgia” democratic and success in Europe.
President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, March 8, supported the protesters in Georgia opposing the bill on “foreign agents”. The head of state said this in his evening speech.
“One more thing to mention today. I want to thank everyone who today held Ukrainian flags in the squares and streets of Georgia. I want to thank you for our national anthem, which was played in Tbilisi. It is a tribute to Ukraine , and I want to express my sincere respect to Georgia,” Zelensky stressed.
The President added that Ukrainians want “our friendly Georgia” democratic and European success.
“We want to be in the European Union – and we will. We want Georgia to be in the European Union, and I’m sure it will be. We want Moldova to be in the European Union, and I’m sure it will be. Everyone, the all free citizens of Europe deserve it,” – emphasized the head of state.
It will be remembered that the protests in Georgia started on March 7 after the Parliament adopted the law on “foreign agents” in the first reading. Police fired tear gas and water cannons at the protesters. Law enforcement officers detained approximately 70 people.
On March 8, protests continued in Tbilisi. Protesters tried to dismantle metal barriers near the parliament. Law enforcers again used tear gas and water cannon against them.
The adoption of the bill is supported by the ruling party of Georgia, which states that it is aimed only at achieving transparency in the funding of NGOs and media. Non-governmental organizations and journalists are against it. Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili announced her support for the protest.
Georgia sent a draft law on “foreign agents” to the Venice Commission
