欧盟因“外国影响”法暂停格鲁吉亚入盟进程并冻结国防资金。 EU suspends Georgia's accession process and freezes defense funding over "foreign influence" law.
由于格鲁吉亚最近通过了一项被批评者认为破坏民主自由的法律，欧盟已暂停格鲁吉亚入盟进程，并冻结了 3000 万欧元（3200 万美元）的国防资金。 The EU has suspended Georgia's accession process and frozen €30 million ($32 million) in defense funding due to Georgia's recent adoption of a law that critics claim undermines democratic freedoms. 欧盟驻格鲁吉亚大使帕维尔·赫尔琴斯基表示，这一决定是在上次欧盟峰会上做出的，此前格鲁吉亚政府不顾数周的抗议，批准了“外国影响”法。 The EU Ambassador to Georgia, Pawel Herczynski, stated that the decision was made during the last EU summit, following the Georgian government's approval of the "foreign influence" law despite weeks of protests. 欧盟警告称，如果不废除“外国影响”法，格鲁吉亚加入欧盟的道路将受阻。 The EU has warned that Georgia's path to membership will be blocked unless the "foreign influence" law is repealed.
