Georgia is fighting for freedom: Protests against pro-Russian regime continue!

Tiflis, Georgien - The protests in Georgia continue to come to a head, while the population is on the street against the pro-Russian government. For over a month, the demonstrators have been calling for an end to the election manipulations and new elections after the controversial parliamentary elections in October. These elections were manipulated by the government, which is documented in numerous reports, explains activist Nini Tsiklauri in an interview with the Krone . The population is angry with the decision to postpone the EU accession talks to 2028, which violates the constitutional obligations of Georgia. Over 500 people have already been arrested and the violence escalated so that the protesting creative paths find their resistance.

resistance to persistent repression

For the first time in weeks, a protest night in the capital Tbilissi went without major incidents, but hopes for a de -escalation are limited. The central demand of the protesters remains to return to the course for the European Union, reports the NZZ . However, the violent approach of the police against peaceful demonstrators is also increasingly criticized. This leads to outrage over the police force, while the protest movement is a desperate expression of resistance to repression.

The new government under the pro-Russian President Micheil Kewelaschwili has already signed several laws that enable arbitrary arrests, including regulations that ban carrying masks or glasses during the protests. "We are moving towards a totalitarian regime," warns Tsiklauri. At the same time, the protest movement is threatened by violent attacks on activists, as the arrest of opposition politician Nika Gwaramia shows, who was passed out during a police raid. Despite the challenges, the spirit of resistance remains strong because citizens are tirelessly committed to their freedom and future.
