During a press briefing on May 12, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced plans to pass the foreign agents law in its third reading, emphasizing the government's commitment to holding violent protesters accountable. 

Kobakhidze referred to 'sociological studies,' claiming that over 80 percent of Georgians support transparency for non-governmental organizations and over 60 percent favor the openness of foreign influence laws.

Kobakhidze expressed concern over what he described as 'violent youth groups organized by the radical opposition and financed from abroad' planning actions against the Georgian Parliament and police in the coming days. He pledged to ensure accountability for any perpetrators, warning that they may not be pardoned by President Salome Zourabichvili.

The Prime Minister commended the Georgian police for handling recent protests, noting that they maintained higher standards compared to counterparts in the U.S. or Europe, with only a few isolated incidents' occurring. He emphasized the importance of Georgian law enforcers not resorting to harsh tactics typical of American and French police.

Kobakhidze reiterated the government's willingness to discuss the law with foreign partners, stating that consultations had already taken place with the European Union and the OSCE. He mentioned the ruling party's readiness to amend the law if it received legal feedback from partners within the presidential veto procedure.

When questioned about the 'Global War Party' conspiracy, Kobakhidze clarified that it did not target any specific country, including the EU or the United States. He emphasized that the EU was among the main victims of these forces, citing a regression in the EU economy over the past 16 years. Kobakhidze declined to specify these forces publicly, citing national security concerns.
