Daily Dumpling: Georgia's president has vetoed a law on foreign influence.

Georgia's President Salome Zourabichvili vetoed a bill on foreign influence, sparking protests and a political crisis. The ruling party is expected to override the veto and enact the legislation, which requires organizations with over 20% foreign funding to register as "organizations carrying the interests of foreign power." Critics view it as a pro-Russian move, endangering Georgia's Western alignment. The crisis has led to violent protests, with the president denouncing the law as fundamentally Russian. The situation reflects a polarized political landscape and threatens Georgia's pro-Western stance.
