Georgia's Constitutional Court denies request to suspend foreign influence transparency law.

The Constitutional Court of Georgia has denied a request to suspend the "Law on Transparency of Foreign Influence," which mandates that entities receiving over 20% of funding from abroad register as foreign agents. The court opted for a substantive review instead. Critics, including the President and numerous NGOs, argue the law violates constitutional rights and hampers Georgia's EU aspirations, prompting disapproval from the EU and U.S. and delaying aid packages.
