Drone footage shows thousands of people protesting against a foreign influence bill that critics say is inspired by Russia to clamp down on dissent.

This footage was captured on May 11 in Tbilisi.

The participants in the Europe March, which started from three locations in the capital, have arrived at Europe Square, where a few minutes ago the protest against the draft law "On transparency of foreign influence" started.

The anthem of Georgia was played at the rally. The gathered people are holding the flags of Georgia and the European Union, as well as banners with the inscriptions: "Strength is in unity, strength is in Europe"; “Yes to Europe, no to the Russian law".

A stage has been set up in Europe Square, where the speeches will start soon.

During the march, traffic was blocked on various streets of Tbilisi, as well as on the right and left banks of Mtkvari.
