it's the georgian dream, the ruling party, because the opposition is boycotting the parliament, citinggging in october parliamentary elections. it's really cold in tbilisi, the georgian capital. but despite that, we're seeing more and more peoplejoining the protests and there have been nightly protests here for more than two weeks. earlier, some people were kicking the football as a kind ofjoke and saying that mikheil kavelashvili, perhaps he was a good footballer in his previous career, but they do not believe that he is fit to be the country's next president. they were holding red cards and also people here are saying that he is not qualified to be the next head of state. all of this is happening with the incumbent president, salome zurabishvili, who earlier today walked past the protest area and she was cheered by the crowd. she has said that she won't be stepping down, and she won't be leaving her office because she considers the current parliament illegitimate and anti—constitutional. and the main demand from the protesters here in the streets, from the opposition and president sa

it is worth recalling that the georgian parliament passed the bill on foreign agents in the third readingt soloma zarubeshvili intends to veto it, but the ruling party has enough votes to overcome it. for western countries, let’s say, for the entire euro-atlantic community, they do not need a precedent of such a nature that a small target country, georgia , can, well, take it and sharply weaken it. western presence in its domestic policy is a rather negative and, let’s say, negative precedent, if this the bill will be adopted, it will finally be adopted, it will begin to operate in the original wording, as the initiators of the bill actually believed, i think that perhaps a movement in favor of greater sovereignization will begin, and this is also not needed by western countries, and in order to prevent this, the west is ready for a lot, and this has already happened in the foreseeable past, europeans also came... according to the general secretary of the ruling party georgian dream democratic georgia and the mayor of the capital kakhi-kaladze, the processes taking place today at the prot

this is a rule that was passed by the georgian parliament and peace from georgian parliament tour, elected by the individuals of georgia. i'm not really sure how that is on the same aquatic. that is generally how most democracies work and how most schools in many countries across the west of also past it's the majority folks that gets it through . but just a couple of months ago we have the cro in georgia. had we the disease safe as it could be, installed the tax rates, ascension, to become a member of the new in the next few years. and now what we've got is that you're saying that it's now on ice. in fact, to you has said that it is freezing tens of millions of views that was supposed to be so i would into june just keep sectors.

the georgian parliament has adopted a law banning same-sex marriages, gender reassignment surgeries, propaganda of lgbt, incest, and so on. 84 deputies voted for it, and only deputies from the ruling georgian dream party. no one voted against it, and the opposition silently did not support the bill. if you noticed, opposition representatives generally did not participate in the discussions, why? because they know that on the eve and not on the eve of any political processes, talking about lgbt as something important in a country where 86% of the population. believers, orthodox, the remaining 10% are muslims, but this is, to put it mildly, irrelevant, inadequate, it is very funny to look at them. but the opinion of the georgian people, as well as their values, does not bother western curators at all. the ban on propaganda in georgia seems to have caused an even more violent reaction from the west than the recent law on foreign agents. the european union in official statement reports on the halt of the process of european integration of georgia threatens visa-free regimes, its cancellat

meanwhile, while fierce debates were going on in the georgian parliament, in the government building, was discussing the scandalous bill with the ambassadors of the united states and european countries; even the mayor of tbilisi could not contain his amazement that such an approach was bad for the sovereignty and independence of georgia. have you seen, for a diplomat from some developed country to come out and intervene. into the work of parliament to decide what law or what decision to make, this is just complete madness, but the madness, apparently, will continue, the opposition has already promised to hold a second protest this evening. varvara nevskaya, maya alenova, news. uralsip is a bank for... and we work on the principle of all or nothing, everything for entrepreneurs, and nothing extra. we offer free service for 3 months when opening a business account. bank ural sip, nothing extra. the facts are on air, now to the situation in the middle east, what should we use? restraint, well, what 's next? how is it going outside tel aviv? well, according to the press secretary of the r

the georgian parliament today bypassed the presidential veto and adopted the document in its originalreats from western politicians. participants in opposition rallies in tbilisi unfurled flags in front of the parliament building . the european union and the united states, openly demonstrating whose interests are being protected. about what foreign sponsors of georgian ngos are hiding, and what now awaits georgia, for which relations with the west are divided into before and after. alexey konopko. for 84 against only four. the result of the vote, which rustavelli avenue met with silence. now, despite all the president’s protests , the law can be signed by the speaker . deputies tried to find out exactly what zarubeshvili was not happy with in the document, and whether it could be corrected so that it would be convenient for everyone, but could not. you had to argue point by point why the points of the law are problematic, let's start with the title, why is it bad? this law is unacceptable, will you give us answers regarding the title? no, why? because? which are at the core of your eu

the adoption of the law on foreign agents in parliament is a step backward and takes georgia even further away from the path to the eu. the georgianything to support its ambitions. tears across europe were wiped away yesterday by those who came to protest against this law at the parliament building. here are the shots. but why such sacrifices? the georgian authorities have repeatedly stated that the adoption of the law on foreign agents in no way cancels the european law. usa and georgia. but despite unprecedented pressure from the outside, in georgia it seems that the issue of the law on transparency of foreign influence has already been reached. but the opposition is clearly not going to give up. president of georgia salame zorobishvili appears to be becoming the sole leader of the opposition forces. and he will try to strengthen himself as high as possible to the top of the georgian political olympus. yes. chairman of the georgian parliament shalva papuashvili said on wednesday that he himself would sign the adopted law, since the country’s president is zarubeshvili. is unlikely to do this. now we are waiting for a signature, i

after another night of riots in tbilisi, events planned for may 2 in the building of the georgian parliament is the bureau of plenary sessions, were canceled until further notice. this is due to the fact that the protesters were against the law on foreign agents immediately after its adoption in the second reading. last night there were demonstrators for the first time. there are smoke bombs and glass bottles. this tactic was used at protests : they broke the glass in one of the buildings and threw them . previously, protesters only tried to break through by breaking the gate. in response to the actions of the protesters, the police used gas, pepper spray, and water honey, just as they had done the day before. during the protest on may 1 and 2 in tbilisi , 15 people were hospitalized in various medical institutions. among the seriously wounded are representatives of law enforcement agencies. most of them have concussions and fractures. passions were running high inside the parliament building on the eve of the adoption of the law in the second reading. just before the reading and discussion

to do this, deputies need to get a majority of votes, the speaker of the georgian parliament announcedutting pressure on georgia not only through threats, for example, to nullify the status of georgia’s candidate in the eu, taking advantage of the opposition's noisy street protests. as the chairman of parliament stated, representatives of individual countries even tried to doors to convince. send the military to ukraine, anna voronina will tell you in more detail, such a picture under the windows of the georgian parliament has become familiar since the start of the discussion of the law on foreign agents, they are already prepared for the riot of opponents of the reform, special forces are on duty in the courtyard of the government building, inside the president’s representatives called for the law to be repealed. the transparency law contradicts four articles of the georgian constitution, including freedom of assembly. and equality of citizens. the law leads to stigmatization of non-governmental organizations and free media, therefore the law is unacceptable. true, mskhiladze was unab
