A brawl started in the Parliament of Georgia, while demonstrations accompanied by clashes are taking place in the streets. The reason for this is a draft law on “Transparency of Foreign Influence”, brought before Parliament by the ruling Georgian Dream party.

The draft law was passed yesterday after it got its first reading. Details in the video:
