TBILISI, May 11 - The United States said on Saturday it was deeply alarmed by democratic backsliding in Georgia which Wash ington said had a choice to support either a "Kremlin-style" foreign agent bill or the people's Euro-Atlantic aspirations.
The bill, which would require organisations receiving more than 20% of their funding from abroad to register as "agents of foreign influence", has touched off a rolling political crisis in Georgia, where thousands have taken to the streets to demand the bill be withdrawn. Georgian opponents of the bill have dubbed it "the Russian law", comparing it to legislation used to target critics of Vladimir Putin's Kremlin.
