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.

Much, much worse. She is a French citizen with virtually zero connection to Georgia who was placed there to act like a colonial administrator of the olden days doing the imperial master's bidding and keeping the colony on a leash.

Wtf, how could she get the post as a foreign citizen?

[-] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 6 months ago

She got given Georgian citizenship on the same day she got the post apparently. Also she barely speaks any Georgian.
