A brawl broke out in the Georgian parliament on Monday after the ruling party moved forward with a controversial bill on “foreign agents” that has been criticised by Western countries.
Mamuka Mdinaradze, leader of the ruling Georgian Dream party’s parliamentary faction and a driving force behind the bill, was punched in the face by Aleko Elisashvili, an opposition MP, while speaking from the dispatch box.
Footage broadcast on Georgian television, and on the parliament’s livestream, captured the moment politicians came to blows, which led to a wider punch-up.
Such altercations are not uncommon in Georgia’s often raucous parliament, where there was also a fistfight over the bill in March.
