georgia is a sovereign state, and the georgia government will not allow it to account. well, the children time is the very clear the. no, i themselves who in georgia by he is coming on the russia. not because late on the thing. know i, we heard from the pro european residential bits contain this is a french provincial family. have to give up hope punched it back in 2018 to be able to stand for the president. this is a settle needs to be severely who is said, but despite the fact to monday in the few weeks time, she is going to send them. not because she said she is the only legitimately elect individual in georgia. the moment question, the elections that took place, you don't see the elections with georgia dream, the toner and government change over 50 percent of the vote. those move something to the phone. why? the reason for this point that she's not legitimate and government to sundown, and she said she would leave the country until the refresher election. he would have the little table, i would like to inform the public that the president, the only end dependent, le

what's georgia right now? well, i, i think europe is severely distracted and not paying enough attention to what's happening now. because georgia is it pivots country in the region, and it's a pivotal country for, for europe as well. um and not only if we look at the caucasus region but also be younger, sent to asia and, and what i think is was overdue. dot president my call called but i think of the european leaders should call as well. and the european union should get involved more strongly. i understand, of course, that the european union was in a state of transition over the past weeks and months. but now the new commission to definitely get engaged and not let russia basically organize the field and, and the political, the, the political opposition and on and support the government against the opposition when they are doing very actively. now we bumped into each other at a foreign ministry briefing we did, which was on a very different topic of but the, the argument was that look the european farm and it

are talking about this, the hybrid authoritarianism in georgia that we are witnessing in georgia in theeks that around 400 to demonstrators have been arrested in more than 300 are victims of psychological and physical abuse. and i interviewed several of them. they are talking about threats of rape, young activists, human rights defenders, green activists, lgbt activists, they are talking about the threat of are talking about the threat of a rape by riot police, where they were detained. we also made investigative film about it. ., made investigative film about it. . , it. katie tutberidze, investigative - it. katie tutberidze, i investigative journalist joining us live from tbilisi, thank you so much. of course, we will continue to monitor the scenes in georgia where thousands of people are out on the streets in protest. thousands of people have been celebrating on the streets of seoul after south korea's parliament voted to impeach the president. yoon suk yeol�*s future was thrown into crisis earlier this month when he tried to impose martial law on the country. the move was seen as th

he's now lives in georgia. he's famous or infamous for apparently owning a zebra and collecting old trees, which are transported from all out of the country to his estate, which is above the capsule. at tbilisi, there is a cable call, which i'm told is not functioning at the moment, which leads up to his estate and he overlooks the capital. so it's, it's a bit of a james bond like kind of scenario. and now we have the current president selling me, is there a piece of heating warning that there actually is it tera and she says tara, on the citizens of georgia on the use and various segments of society. we're speaking here on says a, a mission. we're heading up to sas a day where there will be these presidential elections, which of by looks and means will lead to constitutional crisis in the country. if we have this conflict of who is actually legitimately elected, i just want to, we put this question to the spokes person of the german foreign minister at a press conference here on wednesday. and this is the resp

you know, your ration georgia. i've seen months, a political turmoil over plans for the georgia dream party suspend membership talks with the georgias main opposition group say they don't recognize calculus really as president. and let's bring in renata scott to to cuz codice of carousel lived there. she is the deputy director at the georgia institute of politics and she joins us from to police. the thanks for being here. georgia inaugurated this the new president yesterday. but the former president has not conceded her position. so what grounds does she have to do that is indeed the constitution jarda could be described as a constitutional crisis. is the president so long as that obviously the clear that you will not be leaving the office. uh, on the grounds of uh, the parliamentary elections of georgia and not being considered legitimate uh, reimbursed there. uh you have seen a months of protests on the street uh already with it more than a month. uh, hundreds of thousands of people gathering into the list and ot

he merely destroyed georgia. many georgians refer to the events of 2008, regarding of cause you in south australia. they remember how sockets really treated, the opposition, and it is known how many people went missing during his time and power. because frankly, he was involved in kidnapping people, and they simply disappeared. they recall his connection to the death of george and prime minister is arrived vanya. however, naturally this was never discussed in ukraine. a mythical image of a fierce fighter for freedom and human rights was created. of course, august really had no relation to either of these aspects. then, as as well known after the revolution and unconstitutional, coo and ukraine. soccer severely fled there because he was no longer needed in georgia. covered 19 is back in the spotlights a mammoth us congressional report has concluded that the virus originated in a lab. the $520.00 page document also accuses badging of a cover up. but as r, t is on us to us, the eval, on an anal explains timing is ev

allow this attack on georgia in democracy. and it 0 atlantic future to go on. and so the, in your says to just cost holds, it can be cleared. but only if it does, hasn't told that the government resigns that rules in that they do a holds additional values. the dismantled georgian p. m a has described this as a walk man, is we're using to fax down, you know, from the students. we will continue to move towards the european union just kind of a little. we will not allow anyone to constantly keep us under remote or blackmail and manipulations which is completely offensive to our country and society. so should i put way, pushes cool its way to the highway as it continues to demand move process in georgia? is it not the west and baffled by default? cities was in the huge chasm here, and not the other way around, holding for all t from to b. c. well, joining me now step and age research at the institute of your pin studies in belgrade. thanks very much for your patience. the 1st thing i want to ask you, it's this confusion. i think a

what do they want from georgia, as well as a bit of want to know to, to teach georgia or less to say no, you know, for, for, from very good sources that said it didn't. it started in 2022 been georgia, was heavily pressed by service. and 1st of all, by us say, and you're saying respect turning us, you know, to deliver. oh, our website, us 2 bedrooms at georgia ottoman has this job useful to have to pay for crating as needed tomorrow instead of or even public statements. now, georgia has to show is it on to have side or on most co sign and explanations. they never have savings that you know, we are not going between gauge is a go. we slash or you know, 1st not. yeah. so, so let's start job. joe should be punished. yeah, i subtract a premier, georgia, and i am really no such as far as that. after all the sites, you know is a cheap right now, just some suspects talking. you know, with the, the visa and try to sell this will have some of the salt salt supermarket. nothing else because some members are here for you and tell them in some officials that say talk to, to speak to us, at least

may god bless georgia and may god bless america. [applause] >> we will take a couple questions if anybody got him. period. [inaudible question] >> absolutely will be running in november and here's why. you just heard that i'm a defend of the american dream and the american ideals. i want to fight socialism side-by-side with president trump. [inaudible question] >> no second thoughts at all. look, i'm here on the conviction of my belief in the greatest american want to protect that. i'm going to fight very hard not just for georgians for americans, the ideals that make this great and it just bedevils my conviction that we need to win in november up and down the ticket. >> let me just say this to some of the conservatives push back. that was great opportunity to really seek the truth and the facts and learn about the real letter. you heard it here today. there's been a lot of political agendas from washington, d.c. and new york but this is about putting georgians first. this is why i've made this pic and now i just urge everyone who's

but they also have to increase costs on the georgia dream. there are various options that the table you can have diplomatic coach or the or, but also sanctions. it is also very important that you send a signal or you need to you so far. we have not seen a statement of the 27th member states, and that's the problem. as the west side alone, a nearly a century has the state of the french overseas region of my up in the indian ocean . at least 11 people have been killed as high winds and heavy rain pounded the remote islands, rescue as are now being rushed in by and see to help with recovery efforts. cycling sheeter bottled into the island of my office in the early morning. heavy rains and strong winds created devastation, causing floods flipping of loose and destroying combs. so to say it's the west still 90 years. see close to the cycling of unexpected violence. the winds of over 200 kilometers an hour. public facility is badly damaged or destroyed. basically to see what kind of design and the medium term is for the subject, maya water and food

georgia democracy. that's the case. in syria, the state is fighting a major militant offensive that recently interrupted and it's northern or provinces . the syrian defense ministry says troops have successfully pushed the terrace out of the city of alma oh. working in tandem, syrian ground troops and russian aviation is like the heavy losses on the militant groups in the north, damascus reports eliminating at 200 fighters and destroying dozens of armored vehicles and helicopters. the classes are still ongoing in the provinces of atlanta level to rear alshaun terrace. there are openly wanting to support the group has received from ukraine, according to russia's un envoy who also accused washington of back in the attack against the syrian government. when you have the, we have repeatedly warned against flirting with international terrorists who have settled near a level. however, our western colleagues, driven by hatred of the legitimate government in syria. so you have not stopped interacting with them.

georgia is a sovereign state, and the georgia government will not allow it cloned well, the children time is the very clear. there will be no, no, i didn't sell to in georgia, but he is coming under pressure. not because late on the thing though i, we've heard from the pro european president continue. this is a french provincial family. have to give up her french citizenship back in 2018 to be able to send to the president. this is a settle needs to be severely who is said that despite the fact to monday and the wait time he is going to send, not because she says she is the only legitimately elect individual in georgia the moment you question the election time. but these are like shoes with georgia dream color, and so when the 50 percent of the both those move something to the phone. why? the reason for this point that she's not legitimate government has done done. and she said she would leave the country until the refresher election. the president had said he would have deleted paper. i would like to inform the public that the president, the only independent, legitimate entity left

georgia. what may? yeah, the one to stand is that i'm like you crate in 2013. georgia is an independent state with strong institutions and most importantly, unexperienced and why is population. this resilience cannot be shaken. the my data scenario will not take place in georgia. georgia is a sovereign state, and the georgia government will not allow it. well, the problem is the very clear there will be no, no, i didn't sell it in georgia, but he is coming under pressure. not because late on the thing. no, i, we've heard from the pro european president of this country. this is a french code. individuals with family have to give up hope. i'm citizenship back in 2018 to be able to send them to the president. this is a settle needs to be severely who is said, but that's fine to talk to him monday in the few weeks time he is going to send. not because she says she is the only legitimately elect individual in georgia the question the election time. but these are like shoes with georgia, dream, the

but they say georgia will not go down the same rates. as for the protests, we were able to completely neutralize the violent element. today, the radical opposition no longer has this tool. the only thing left is that about 2000 people usually gather on rest of haley avenue. on the other hand, there are more than $1120000.00 people who supported georgia dream for parties plus the richest and joe's together cannot gather even 2000 people. this is the real situation, which is very good for our country in georgia. the my don failed and will never happen. well, has its fails as the routing parties as well. i think you can look behind me to say that this movement certainly doesn't have the inputs and the push that he did 2 weeks ago. yeah. before the parliamentary elections, it wasn't the results that the e you wanted at lot see and brussel as well as quick the point thought i'd has there been any reaction that regard to today using both thought rate, that reaction? yeah. as you said, the use already said that he believes that the election, su

georgia is a sovereign state, and the georgia government will not allow it cloned over. now to all these, that's all the duplicates he remains into play. see a middle old pick of it. as of the protests, the certainly ratcheting off a few notches and so here in the middle of the road, just leading up to the problem. and you can see the power case of being in place. and i just want to bring you to the back of the federal case and you can see how the holding the law is ripped up. please choose from the street and then using these to prophecies barricades. and the reason they put in the power to say is because further down the street towards liberty square, we have to to canon all ready to come off as well with police police poking the roads over to the sides. please fucking the roads down here. don, hey, basically making over for capital into one area, we just come up to the georgia and call them building your guy. know, because we come inside. some of the protests has been able to get into the building and they've solved a fire. we know that they have been smashing some of

you have said that the last october selections in georgia were not only about georgia in democracy, but also about rescuing it's u a p. in perspective. do you think that perspective might have shifted now that the new president has been sworn in the perspective is there, however, the major below to george's european aspirations have been delivered on 28th of november when the mister co buffy, who considers himself as the prime minister of georgia basics, then i was that the government was hosting and the accession talks until 2028. the candidate that has been installed today, it has georgias president is known for b for his, you're a skeptical anti western position. so this current configuration, the georgia dream with the nominated president, are not going to put georgia back on the track with your, again, it's gratian. so the cross has actually have been largely triggered by this announcement on 28th of november that were purchased. as i said after the elections, but the scale and the d printing of the crisis, really for those, these kind of official, the rejection of european accessi

to the republic of georgia. now where the government stays investigative pro test sponsored by western and do you guys have been arrested on that offices rate is, is comes off to 6 consecutive days of riots on the streets of to the easy guns. we've present sounds all physician allies at the long think a we run about the type is parliamentary elections. that was one by the routing policy. the georgian interior ministry has published voltage from offices of opposition, policies showing a number of motor 12 clock towels westernized fireworks, and other evidence has been c, spotwood ortiz during the reins and now investigating charges of organized group violence economy or position policy need to need tug yvonne mia has been detained across the you. some politicians have called the georgian government functions across down on democracy. but the countries prime minister states that your opinions want to see a key of like to instantly see this is not a fair approach. european politicians and bureaucrats had previously

of the georgia and democracy does. okay . the in syria, the stay is fighting a major militant offensive. that recently erupted in his northern provinces. the story in defense ministry says troops have successfully pushed at the terrace out of the city of alma oh, the working in tandem, syrian ground troops and russian aviation inflicted heavy losses on the militant groups in the north, damascus reports eliminating 200 fighters and destroying dozens of armored vehicles and helicopters, classes are still ongoing in the provinces and it'll have been the level oh to where i was some terrorist there are openly flaunting the support. the group has received from ukraine as, according to rushes, you and envoy who also choose washington of back in the attack against the syrian governments. when you have the, we have repeatedly warned against flirting with international terrorists who have settled near a level. however, our western colleagues, driven by hatred of the legitimate government in syria, so you have not stopped intera

all over georgia is salome. we hope that off to schools, you will not coal kindergartens to participate in protest actions. i think the question now is how will you react to that decision by the constitutional court here in georgia. what we're seeing is that this country is going to side across. so do you have tens of thousands of people coming out of the street demanding that they couldn't move towards the european union, but do they speak as the voice of a country of almost 4000000 people on site is the question. the government says no, they don't, and it is refusing to fax down. it says it won't allow what happened in ukraine to happen to here in georgia. journalists have been called in the cross by all the chaos in georgia in laws to protest the lowest fireworks directly. the local report today was filming with nash's. the engine victim has been treated by medic. also a member of knowledge to use. the crew was also home during the class is into play c on the job is the now the when projected is coming my to

georgia democracy. but it's not. brussels is not the washington nissan. berlin is not very useful besides, but the judge and the judge and people made a very clear decision height, turn out more than 50 percent support to the ruling party period. that shouldn't be respected. and my problem is that this is very general in your, in the case, it is not the liberals to be in the election in the democratic nature of the whole con sandoval political system is being questioned immediately if it is uh, rigorous, the, when everything's fine. if it's fits your story and if it is conservative story, and if it is right between the nature of democracy, it is immediately question. and this is totally unacceptable photo. and so look at arcus are so good our case. we have been under attack for the last 15 years into your opinion. we have been under financial sanctions. why? because we are not ready to speak according to the liberal, may assume you're not ready to act according to believe. but on my screen, we are conce

this one for my m p here in georgia hasn't misses. that is the case, a trone of who's on there is no problem. we have a very good future fireworks of items. they were all for the protests, but they have so many lasers where they have so much equipment. so to miss police force is an anti constitutive police force. i am the organizer and i am the entrepreneur of these actions. it is an action of the people. meanwhile, george's pro presence has criticized the ban of the sale of fireworks and of safety. did. the ruling party has closed down shop, selling protective gas masks, protective goggles and helmets, leaving peaceful protesters deprived of their elementary protection. a blatant violation of the right to protest and an attack on private property. she is refusing to step down from her time you as president in the next 3 weeks, still north acknowledging not ruling mccain just on tuesday for the constitutional quoting georgia that the elections that took place in october were free inside on the were won by the current rolling policies,

the republican party of georgia was in a coalition with the georgia dream party. welcome to dw. so mikhail covet actually has been voted in as george's, you president as well as we see, but incumbent president telling me sort of this really says she's not stepping down until you will actions or health. so how might this impasse be resolved? good morning. thank you for, for having me. um that is correct. unfortunately. introduce him as parliament yesterday took the world for the presidential elections as well. and now they're planning to have that one. need you to into institution out of the law as well. the current president did make a statement that she's not planning to step down. we still don't want you names and she promised that you need to plan for the society as to what her plan is, but the fact stays that. so this country, people in this country motors in this country do not accept the stolen launch from october for them into the lectures. and we believe that everything that was done since then by the parliament is simply equal and illegitimate. and once we have tnt elec

and they were won by the current rolling policies, georgia dream. this is the 7th noise of protest since georgia. dream said it was hosting since 2000 sentient until 2028 and the georgia and interior ministry has released of footage from offices of opposition party showing model to have cocktails, weaponized, fireworks, and other evidence sees during the raids. they're investigating charges. group violence was organized and the holly opposition party leader has been detained in the you. politicians have called the georgian government's actions. a crack down on democracy in washington has promised to retaliatory sanctions those who undermine democratic processes or institutions in georgia, including those who suppress george and citizens right to freedom of peaceful assembly and expression will be held to account. in addition to continuing our previously announced comprehensive review of bilateral cooperation, the united states is now preparing to use the tools at our disposal, including additional sanctions. visit bowman to state should begin by ann

when it comes to fighting for georgia i will never back down. [applause] no one will fight harder for our state and for our nation and our president and for our here's the thing, contrary to what we might see in the media not every strong american woman is a liberal. many of us are conservative and proud of it. [applause] with all of the important things we have done in washington and here at home in georgia i am angered by the impeachment circus. i opposed it. it's a distraction and a sideshow. just imagine what could be done if democrats would stop fighting president trump and start working together. think what could be done for hard-working families creating jobs expanding access to health care keeping america safe and strong. make no mistake washington democratswa want to overturn muh more than anan election. they want to overturn our way of life because they were sent american success. they can't tell you how much their socialist ideals will cost. they don't care how many jobs willll be destroyed and they cat even agree that they want to pr

georgia is a sovereign state, and the georgia government will not allow it. well, the georgia department is a very clear though. no, i didn't. so who in georgia, but he is coming on the single russia not because late on the 2nd thing. know i, we've heard from the pro european president of this country. this is a friend. disposing individuals with family have to give up hope and citizenship back in 2018 to be able to send to the president. this is a settle needs to be severely who is said, but it's fine to talk to monday in the few weeks time he is going to send. not because she says she is the only legitimately elect individual in june to the moment. the question the election was that took place. you don't say, let's see. so elections with georgia, dream, the color and government change over 50 percent of the both those move something to the phone. why the but this morning that she's not legitimate? and she went to some done and she said she would leave the country until the refresh election. he would have deleted people. i would like to inform the public tha

but now to the georgia in capital w. c, which has seen its 6 consecutive night of riots that's after the constitutional court refused to accept the appeals in georgia as outgoing president and her opposition allies to notify the results of october solomon 3 election. but this card within the nations of political landscape has once more spelled out into the street. the journalists had been caught in the crossfire of the chaos. in george, i'm to a masters of protest or launch the fireworks. don't rattle a at a low reporter who is reporting the clashes medics treated the injured effect um mobile service for the member of our news crew covering the cautious into police. he was also harmed. you can see gas is really not in the direction when protested. he's coming my door, we're going to need to move. well, filming, and our 2 camera man was doused with tear gas, the police had unleashed on violent protesters. he has been forced to cut short his assignment in georgia for medical reasons and return to moscow for treatments. for

if, as you believe a georgia dream is heading towards russia, why don't they say so? why say we love your while your actions and betray otherwise. the reason is very simple because absolute majority of georgia's want to be to live in the european democracy. more than 80 percent of georgia is consistently tell to the pollsters that they want the membership into your pin union and more of the 70 percent say that they want to be part of later. and the you want to shoot, a government came to power. he won't, they won't power based on this promise that they would continue the pro as the pos, but instead they turned out to be a russian trojan horse. that's very true in i'm not sure what the situation is. george's want to leave in the european democracy. and the only god who is wealth is compatible to a quarter for even more of the georgia, d, jude. if he wants to build a and only got stream, it's not a georgia dream like a colder party. it's the only got stream. and so now we have a standoff between the president, 2 ways to, to step down with me says she will not be and she

a talking to him about the situation in georgia, he has said that the accusations of georgia dream is made about the west interfering is not true. and she says, george's perm remains towards the e u renewal up in the you does not obliged. europe offers paving the way for equal partnership prosperity and common values. europe does not intimidate, does not use threats. the whole europe does not seek to so chaos. europe does not seek to destabilize or subjugate its neighbors. through war or hybrid means that you does not dictate what national interests are. in particular, it respects the territorial integrity of georgia. well, the e u is wielding power if it lists members of georgia dream on its sanctions on monday. that is exactly what it is. do we know the baltic states have already made the non social sanctions to some members of the ruling policy full ready? so it wouldn't be surprised if we do see those names on monday as we understand the realities. now, we are about 2 weeks away from when the presidential office should be doing, but who comes in giving to the newly elected preside

and what do we have in georgia now? the country's prime minister and now is that they are suspending assess insults when the you until 2028. due to political pressure coming from brussels discount to go to the we are a self respecting nation with a great history. it is absolutely unacceptable for us to consider an integration into the european union. as of the european union should bestow upon us, we will continue our march towards the european union, but we will not allow any one to leave us in a state of constant black, male and manipulation, which is offensive to our country and society of the you loving watching present came out right away, calling the government's illegitimate and announcing that she would not leave office when her term ends next month because she claims the people need her. me. don't know, maybe i remain your president. there's no legitimate parliament. therefore, an illegitimate parliament cannot elect a new president. consequently, there can be no an organization. my mandate remains, in effect u

it's of those who are part of the opposition policies here in georgia. and also that being res, on the offices and homes of those involved in n g a, let me just take you through some of the reasons being arrested. we know that your position policy, the united national move and they had their offices rated hearing to receive in the last few hours. they have been accused of essentially being a positive west and how is trying to own with road logistics government of georgia . we've also had the found the position tv network being a rest if this is a tv network that was previously funded by george source is from friends society foundation. we've also had one of the members of a student group defending the movement who has been arrested as well. and just in the last few days, he was giving an interest in talking about how to sage a revolution he in georgia. similar to what happened in ukraine with the might and qu, let's just get a listen on take plays off, old stock, intervene. it is not necessary for a revolution to happen directly in front of the parliamen

and we can see where that ended is georgia having in the same direction. well, i hope you don't proposing for us to simply comply with the rest of the regime. georgians are freedom loving people. we fought for our independence in the late eighty's. in early nineties, we fold against much more for me to bowl and then meet russia when, when it invaded georgia, we would not surrender that easily. and guess if it takes a real fight, we'll probably have to fight. i'm not sure we can count on anyone else to, to, to do our business. if georgia wants to remain an independent democratic country, then people must make their voices heard. so, so bring analysis and we thought of going for it. georgie beds, right. so from the georgian foundation for strategic and international studies, thank you so much. thank you. not was the day a more dw, don't com, a good day, the pico africa play time with the difference is do we meet? we start off by discussing the inside of mentor issues like the tape testing. so i often think the inside remains. see how those m conserve. tigers
