Meanwhile in Georgia

The Parliament there has passed a law requiring disclosure of funding sources of foreign NGOs operating in the former Soviet republic on the Black Sea.

The supporters of the bill say that NGOs funded by foreign governments meddle in the politics and the elections of Georgia.

Opponents of the bill say that this is in direct contravention of one the core principals of the EU, and that it would make any bid for EU accession harder.

They are both telling the truth.

NGOs funded by Brussels and Washington are used to manipulate the internal politics and elections in many nations, both within and outside of the EU, and the use of these NGOs to meddle in the internal affairs of nations nations, (including EU members) is a core EU principal.

What the law says is that organizations receiving more than 20% of their funding from foreign nations must register and report these contributions.

It's a lot like §§611-621, Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which is the law of the land in the United States:

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) was enacted in 1938. FARA requires certain agents of foreign principals who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principal, as well as activities, receipts and disbursements in support of those activities.  Disclosure of the required information facilitates evaluation by the government and the American people of the activities of such persons in light of their function as foreign agents. The FARA Unit of the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section (CES) in the National Security Division (NSD) is responsible for the administration and enforcement of FARA.

I get that the Europeans, and the US government want to fund more color revolutions, but seriously, at least be honest about it.
