Georgian opposition MP Giorgi Vashadze was doused with water during a heated parliamentary debate on a controversial “foreign agent” law on Tuesday. Vashadze was delivering a speech against the bill, which critics say is Russian-inspired and authoritarian, when a pro-government MP splashed him with water. Georgia’s parliament voted that same day to override a previous presidential veto of the bill that has plunged the South Caucasus country into crisis, ignoring criticism from protesters and the West alike.
