Attack on the offices of the opposition party in Georgia

The opposition Movement for National Unity party of Georgia said on Saturday that its offices in Tbilisi were attacked overnight by dozens of masked men.

During the attack, the equipment was damaged and the windows of the office were broken, according to images published by this party on social networks.

Georgia's Interior Ministry told Radio Free Europe's Georgian Service that it has launched an investigation into the attack.

This incident occurred at a time when tensions in Georgia are high, after the ruling party, Georgian Dream, passed controversial legislation on "foreign agents".

This law has incited very large protests in the streets of Tbilisi.

Opponents of this law say it is authoritarian and is inspired by a similar law in Russia.

The European Union says this law jeopardizes Georgia's path to integration into the 27-member bloc.

This week, the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, imposed a visa regime and said that bilateral cooperation with Georgia will be reviewed.

The Georgian Dream has insisted that it remains committed to joining Western institutions and has said that the law is only intended to increase transparency for the financing of NGOs./ Rel
