Breaking: The U.S. Department of the Treasury sanctions Georgia’s de facto Minister of Internal Affairs, Vakhtang Gomelauri.
It’s a bad day for him — just hours earlier, he was also sanctioned by the UK.
I listened very attentively to Georgian 🇬🇪 President @Zourabichvili_S‘s testimony today during the European Parliament plenary in Strasbourg.
We stand firmly by the Georgian people and their European aspirations for the future of their country.
❗President @Zourabichvili_S 's address to the @EUparliament today was historic.
Yet, 🇬🇪 Public Broadcaster funded by taxpayers refused to air it. For context, GPB’s budget exceeds that of 🇬🇪's 3 of top5 cities.
This silence speaks volumes,

@Dan_Tanasa@Europarl_EN She is the only legitimate president of Georgia for the time being, and it will stay this way until we have fair parliamentary elections and a new government body. 🇬🇪🇪🇺✊🏽
Protesters chant "thank you" as President Salome Zurabishvili shows up at the parliament after Mayor Kaladze's Christmas event gets canceled. #GeorgiaProtests

Georgia has only one legitimate president who represents the will of the Georgian people and stands as the sole truly independent state institution. Supporting @Zourabichvili_S at this critical moment for the region means supporting the European aspirations of Georgian citizens, defending democracy, upholding the rule of law, and resisting authoritarianism.
World leaders, especially women leaders, must continue recognizing her as the only legitimate spokesperson of the Georgian people. Any leader who chooses to congratulate or communicate with the illegitimate president installed by Georgian Dream today will forever tarnish their name and reputation in the eyes of Georgians. Such a betrayal will not be forgotten by those fighting for a free, democratic, and European Georgia.
An unstoppable protest in Georgia against the Russian regime!
Protesters are peacefully dancing with EU and Georgian flags, standing united for the European future of Georgia! 🇬🇪🇪🇺
It’s just amazing!
HR, Finance, IT/Tech workers unite on Rustaveli Avenue, waiting for PR/Marketing community also to join them in a separate march. Workers of other companies/organizations protest in front of their offices. #GeorgiaProtests#Day16

#Georgiaprotests if anybody thinks that Georgia will accept a Russian future, better look at the 13 th night in Tbilissi 🇬🇪 despite the threats of the defacto security Ministry announcing the “probable 2-3 death” in the coming days !
