Foreign media reports that a deputy in Georgia hit her colleague with a water bottle today. The debate in the assembly started because of the issue of "foreign agents", which has caused controversy in the country.
In the video published on social networks, the MP can be seen hitting her colleague on the head with a water bottle, thought to be a plastic bottle.
Meanwhile, the latter shouts at him and points his finger. Recently, protests and gatherings related to "foreign agents" have erupted in Georgia.
The controversial bill requires organizations that receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as "foreign agents."
Opponents of the bill call the law authoritarian and "inspired by Russia," but the ruling Georgian Dream party says it is necessary to ensure transparency in the funding of non-governmental organizations.
