Georgian president tells FRANCE 24 'foreign agents' bill a Russian strategy

Georgia's parliament gave initial approval on Wednesday to a bill on "foreign agents" that the European Union said risked blocking the country's path to membership and triggered protests for a third straight night. The fate of the bill is widely seen as a test of whether Georgia, 33 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, intends to pursue a path of integration with the West or move closer towards Russia. President Salome Zourabichvili, whose role is mostly ceremonial, said she would veto the law if it was passed. She speaks to FRANCE 24.
