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.

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

A similar thing happened in Ukraine after the Maidan coup by the way, the US just went and installed a US citizen as one of their top ministers… economy or finance i believe. It happens more often than you think. There have been other such instances in Eastern Europe, where suddenly a person who had barely anything to do with the country other than maybe their parents being from there suddenly ended up in a top position and they just so happen to come from a western country, have been educated in western institutions, worked for a western government or NGO and so on. The most blatant colonialism and nobody bats an eye.
