【转载】第比利斯市民持续抗议，格鲁吉亚议会撤回「俄罗斯法案」
新闻来源俄罗斯反对派媒体meduza
In Tbilisi, Georgia, special forces used water cannons and teargas against protestors who tried to enter Georgia’s parliament building, on Rustaveli Avenue.
On March 8, for the second night in a row, opponents of a new piece of legislation on “foreign agents,” currently under review by members of parliament, gathered to protest in the city center.
Giorgi Vashadze, leader of a liberal political party in Georgia, demanded that the bill be withdrawn within an hour, and all of the protestors arrested the previous day be released. When the demands weren’t met, he called on protestors to surround the parliament building so that deputies would be unable to enter on Thursday.
After police used force against the protestors, protestors began breaking windows and fences surrounding the parliament building.
Special forces then dispersed the rally and forced protestors to a square near the parliament building.
Georgian lawmakers announced Thursday that they’ve decided to withdraw the draft law “On transparency of foreign influence,” which sparked mass protests earlier this week.
Protests against proposed laws to establish a “foreign agents” registry in Georgia have been going on for multiple days. Two versions of the draft legislation were submitted to parliament. On March 7, lawmakers voted in the first reading to pass a version titled “On transparency of foreign influence,” which would require all non-commercial legal entities and media agencies that receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as “foreign agents.” On March 9, parliament planned to vote on the bill’s other version, which would make it possible for any individual or legal entity that receives any funding from abroad to be named an “agent of foreign influence.”
3月7日，格鲁吉亚议会对提案的「外国代理人法案」进行投票，这一法案引发了格鲁吉亚国民的不满，该法案被戏称为「俄罗斯法案」，该法案将超过20%境外资金的非商业法人和媒体划为「外国代理人」，被视为会阻碍格鲁吉亚申请进入欧盟。
当晚第比利斯的市民便开始组织抗议，3月8日开始有抗议市民冲击议会，当地警方也对抗议市民实施了镇压。网上流传的图片中有格鲁吉亚市民在城市中涂鸦「Fxxk Russia」，也有市民举牌「NoRussianLaw」和「Never Back to USSR」。
经过三天的抗议，格鲁吉亚议会周四表示撤回该法案。
补充一下背景，格鲁吉亚现在的执政党格鲁吉亚梦想党立场亲俄，并且近年的执政使格鲁吉亚民主倒退，CNN有篇文章介绍了格鲁吉亚梦想党，链接：

粉红很喜欢说欧美政治的全部, 都是精英政治, 这样就能为"资产阶级民主"的叫法找借口了.
但是你看, 民众对国策的瞻望和抗争时常能改变历史, 对每个国家都是如此. 比如这次格鲁吉亚的法案, 要是将来某天格鲁吉亚加入了欧盟就要感谢这步走对了. 再比如2014年乌克兰的广场革命, 正是依靠民众对亲近西方的意义的敏感性, 对公权力不盲信为权威, 这才有了今天乌克兰的国家性质, 否则它还是个为普京服务的傀儡.
要是民众畏惧改变, 总是依赖想象中的精英去下大棋, 就有了荒唐的计划生育, 出尔反尔的养老政策, 以及愚蠢至极的"大国防疫".
