On Tuesday MPs passed the controversial law which requires NGOs and independent media that receive more than 20% of their funding from foreign donors to register as organisations “bearing the interests of a foreign power”.
Only independent media though, this doesn’t apply to…umm… non-independent media cough cough.
However, her veto is only symbolic as the prime minister’s Georgian Dream party has enough members in parliament to override it by holding another vote.
