#Tbilisi vibe ❤️
Obviously, I can't condone wild graffiti, but I appreciate the sentiment expressed here 🙏🏾

Georgia will not surrender!
Protest: Day 290

[Marika Mikiashvili 🇬🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺 @Mikiashvili_M]

Let's have a look at one of the most targeted prisoners of the regime and its propaganda. 28-year-old Andro Chichinadze is a famous actor and charity organizer who manages entertainment for sick children at hospitals. He's now facing 4-6 years in jail for "group violence." 🧵

[Coalition 4 Change 🇬🇪🇪🇺 @CoalitionGEO]

The unwavering spirit for change in Zugdidi was well-articulated by @LemonjavaGiga’s remark that Ivanishvili is finished in Samegrelo.
#WeBringChange 🇬🇪🇪🇺

Ivanishvili controlled court's 2022 decision against "TV Pirveli" is now moving towards enforcement before elections. Interestingly, the complainant is Tbilisi corrupted mayor Kakha Kaladze. #MediaFreedom #Election2024 #JudicialControl

[Giga Lemonjava @LemonjavaGiga]

Tbilisi Court suspended the President's decree on appointing Supreme Council of Justice member. This undermines the separation of power. Our coalition supports the "Georgian Charter" to reform the judicial system and oppose political influence. Systemic changes are essential.

[Giga Lemonjava @LemonjavaGiga]

Ivanishvili pushes legislative changes sharply restricting the rights of those accused of crimes against the state. Restrictions include limiting meetings, correspondence, calls, and even family visits. This move threatens to result in consequences similar to Navalny's.

In these critical times for Georgia, the union of “@DroaParty ,” “@GIRCHIMF ” and “Akhali” for the October 2024 elections meets high public and international expectations. Our united effort is vital for our country's European future. 🇬🇪 #UnitedForGeorgia #Election2024

Today we pay tribute to the 🇬🇪 heroes who sacrificed their lives in the Russian-Georgian war in Abkhazia. Georgians are still fighting for the freedom of our country in 🇺🇦. Let us honor the memory of all the heroes who gave their lives, so that we may live ours. Glory to heroes!

43% of cases of the European Court against 🇬🇪 are still in the execution process, ranking us 3rd from last in the Council of Europe, after 🇦🇿 and 🇷🇸.
Some cases have been under supervision for over 10 years-cases of religious persecutions, women's and LGBTQ+ rights violations.

The OSCE PA has recognized Russia's actions as genocide against the Ukrainian people and called for the decolonization of the Russian Federation. Resolution urges support for de-occupying Crimea, establishing a Special Tribunal, and investigating war crimes. #Ukraine #OSCE

[Giga Lemonjava @LemonjavaGiga]

Over 163k Georgians emigrated only in 2023. 🇬🇪 diaspora heavily supports country’s economy with $4.1B in remittances. GD refuses to open additional polling stations abroad for the 2024 elections, failing to ensure voting rights for immigrants. #Georgia #Emigration #VoteRights

[Giga Lemonjava @LemonjavaGiga]

Pridon Injia, MP from the proxy party of GD, asked the Prime Minister today whether there will be Chinese observers at the upcoming parliamentary elections.
Election observers from the Chinese Communist Party - this is something new.🧐

🚩 Surprising! Only Hungary's ambassador attended Kobakhidze's government report in parliament. US ambassador and other EU colleagues absent. What does this signify for #Georgia? #GovernmentReport 🇬🇪🔍

[Giga Lemonjava @LemonjavaGiga]

Deeply saddened by the loss of another brave Georgian fighter, Amiran Zoidze. My thoughts are with his family and all those who have lost loved ones in Putin’s war. We honor their courage and stand united in our resolve for just peace. #GeorgianWarriors #Ukraine

[Giga Lemonjava @LemonjavaGiga]

Great to see @kajakallas nominated as the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. Her dedication to democracy, freedom of European nations is truly inspiring. Wishing you success! 🇪🇺🇬🇪🤝 #Europe #Georgia #Unity

Ich sehe, dass Sie keine Vorstellung davon haben, wie der Autoritarismus in Georgien funktioniert

[Giga Lemonjava @LemonjavaGiga]

On June 26-27, 🇬🇪 Parliament hastily adopted a bill to write off COVID-19 fines, impacting ~2,000 people and totaling 5.5 million GEL. With the October 26 elections approaching, this move reeks of election bribery rather than genuine relief. #GeorgiaElections2024 #ElectionBribery

[Giga Lemonjava @LemonjavaGiga]

Alarming echoes of authoritarian tactics in Hungary resemble the troubling path of🇬🇪 gov. faced with the adoption of “Russian law.” Solidarity with @Transparency_HU and @Atlatszo facing unjust probes.
Threats to civil society must be confronted by int. Community.

[Giga Lemonjava @LemonjavaGiga]

Winners never quit and quitters never win.
Georgia 🇬🇪 qualified for round of 16.
Thank you!
