On April 15, the ruling Georgian Dream endorsed the bill on Foreign Agents Law in the Committee hearing amid the massive popular protest that continued at the Parliament of Georgia. The discussion continued with a large-scale rally near the Parliament building. By 19:30, Rustaveli Avenue was blocked. After almost 12 hours of sitting, the Legal Affairs Committee approved the "Agents' Law" in the first reading.

By around 21:30, the police warned the demonstrators that special measures would be used against them in case of disobedience. By 22:30, there were reports of 4 detainees. By 00:00, the Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed reports of 14 detainees. Special forces and a water jet vehicle were mobilized near the parliament.

The President of Georgia wrote, "Georgia will not allow re-Sovietization!". Salome Zourabichvili's statement was published after the Ministry of Internal Affairs warned the protesters twice and started arresting the rally participants.

Mass, peaceful civil society actions against the "Russian law" in Tbilisi. "Special forces" with water and gas jets are ready to start action against the citizens defending the European future," wrote Salome Zourabichvili.

By 11:00 p.m., the public defender, Levan Ioseliani, appealed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs not to prevent the rally participants from enjoying the right guaranteed by the constitution because, according to him, there was no violation of the law and no reason to limit the constitutional right.

On April 14, the government of Georgia accused the United States, the European Union, and Western allies of "interfering in internal affairs" and "replacing the opposition" and invited their representatives to TV debates.

However, American and European diplomats are unlikely to participate in such debates. Participating in political talk shows with government representatives - getting involved in domestic politics - goes beyond their mandate.

The next day, April 15, the ambassadors of the European Union, Great Britain, and the USA - Pawel Herczynski, Mark Clayton, and Robin Dunnigan visited the government administration. The latter, however, said that the meeting was planned a few days ago and is unrelated to the Prime Minister's April 14 initiative to hold a public discussion on the draft law.

In the statement released later, the government administration writes that they also discussed the draft law "On transparency of foreign influence" at this meeting. Kobakhidze once again confirmed the government's “full readiness for an open discussion regarding the law.”

The government administration added that Irakli Kobakhidze said that “when the government itself shows an example of transparency and all the decisions and legal acts of the government are published, it is not clear why it is unacceptable for non-governmental organizations to meet the minimum standard of transparency.”

This was followed by the General Secretary of "Georgian Dream," Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze, who compared the European Union's nine outstanding recommendations to those of the Soviet dictatorship.
