Georgian authorities have announced new sweeping legislative amendments, targeting civil society, independent media, and political parties. Under the proposed law, the head of any political party that violates the law on political associations by receiving foreign funding will be held criminally liable after passing the legislation. According to the ruling party, individual entrepreneurs won’t be affected by the law. The issue was also addressed by Estonia’s Foreign Minister, Margus Tsahkna, who spoke about the need for increased pressure on Georgian authorities. Nonetheless, critics of the ruling party have emphasised that these changes aim to undermine the media and civil society in an already fragile democracy.
