Major protests in Tbilisi took place today as local residents criticized a foreign influence bill. The legislation being debated in Georgia’s Parliament would require non-governmental organizations and independent media to register as “foreign agents” when more than 20% of their funding comes from outside of Georgia. Host Marco Werman speaks with Ana Jegnaradze, a Georgian reporter, about how the bill is advancing in the country’s parliament and the protesters’ demands.
