On Georgia National Day, the US reaffirms support for Georgia's democratic future and sovereignty. President Zourabichvili vetoed the controversial 'foreign influence' law that sparked protests, seen as stifling dissent and hindering EU aspirations. The Georgian government argues the law promotes transparency, but the Council of Europe and EU express concerns about its impact on freedoms. Tensions remain high as the ruling party can override the veto, while the US urges Georgia to choose between Euro-Atlantic goals or a Russian model. #Georgia #Democracy #EU #Transparency...
