TBILISI, May 18 (Reuters) - Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili has announced that she has vetoed a draft law on foreign agents, Russia's state-run TASS news agency reported on Saturday.

Zourabichvili had said previously that she would veto the bill, which has sparked street protests, but her decision can be overridden by another vote in parliament, controlled by Georgia's ruling party and its allies.

Yes.

French citizen.

Used to be the French ambassador to Georgia.

She was the French ambassador in Chad during a French-supported coup.

She was part of the Iran sanctions UN committee.

She was a permanent representative of France in NATO.

She participated in efforts to get Georgia into NATO.

She organized training of Georgian army by NATO.

She is partly responsible for all the protests going on against this bill.

A couple weeks ago, during a military ceremony, she took the podium and made a speech reminding the soldiers of "who trained them" and that "when the time comes you should follow the will of the people". Basically asking them to overthrow the Prime Minister and his ruling party. The PM was sitting right behind her.

She stands to be exposed as a foreign agent if this bill passes, along with many other politicians. Georgia has 1 NGO or SMO (social movement organization) per 148 people (that's 10 000 NGOs and 15 000 SMOs). The Georgians are the most propagandized people by foreign forces.
