Discussion of draft law “On Transparency of Foreign Influence” resumed in Parliament amidst commotion. The severely beaten Chairman of the United National Movement, Levan Khabeishvili, who was physically assaulted by the police, came to the legislature.

The start of the session was delayed for a few minutes. According to MP Teona Akubardia, the reason for this is the speech of the Speaker Shalva Papuashvili, who expressed concern about the beating of Khabeishvili.

This was followed by a protest from the opposition, the majority MPs also joined in the confrontation.

As Akubardia said, the majority MP Dimitri Khundadze threw a book at the oppositionists.

Shalva Papuashvili threatened to expel the opposition MPs from the hall on the pretext of speaking without a microphone. In addition, he turned off the microphone of the MPs.
