Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili has said that a “foreign influence” Bill passed by parliament that critics have called a threat to free speech is “unacceptable”.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Ms Zourabichvili criticised the ruling Georgian Dream party for pushing the Bill, which is widely seen as a threat to Georgia’s aspirations to join the European Union.
