Georgia's ruling party said on March 9, 2023, that it was dropping a bill on "foreign agents" after two nights of violent protests. The proposed legislation would have imposed registration requirements on organisations with foreign ties and was approved by parliament on its first reading a day before, sparking clashes between thousands of demonstrators and police. The legislation also drew international concern amid worries the bill would move the nation further away from its bid to join the European Union.
