Georgia’s law on foreign agents is a “completely understandable” attempt to limit foreign interference, and no one, including the European Union, should criticize Tbilisi for it. Such a statement made the Hungarian Foreign Minister.
“This is a completely understandable attempt by the country to regulate and limit the possibility of external interference. We have witnessed and experienced the same thing in Hungary. Our opposition was financed absolutely from outside, mainly from the US, with millions of USD. There was very harsh interference in the last elections, and since then the opposition and its media have been financed from outside. I think this violates the sovereignty of country.
However, transparency in this regard is important and should not require any explanation. The fact that Georgia would like to control and counteract external interference in its country is understandable. I don’t think anyone, especially the EU, would have the right to criticize the Georgians for such a law”, - said Peter Szijjarto
