Day 541 of daily, uninterrupted, nationwide protests in Georgia. 🇬🇪🇪🇺☔

[Protest 24 @protest_24]

Speaker of Ivanishvili’s Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, has once again launched a hostile attack on Georgia’s Western partners and European institutions.

Commenting on possible EU sanctions, Papuashvili claimed that there are people in the European Parliament who are so “hostile” toward Georgia that “if they were allowed, they would launch rockets at us” and “send troops into the country,” adding that some in Georgia would supposedly justify it “in the name of democracy.”

He also attacked EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and repeated the ruling party’s narrative that the European Union is pursuing a damaging and confrontational policy toward Georgia.

The statement is the latest example of escalating anti-Western rhetoric from Georgian Dream officials amid deepening tensions with the EU and growing international criticism of democratic backsliding in Georgia.

Georgian journalist and TV host Nanuka Zhorzholiani, who ran a foundation for years helping people in need, fined protesters, and prisoners of conscience, has been sentenced to 3 days of administrative detention for standing on the sidewalk. #TerrorinGeorgia

Ivanishvili’s PM Irakli Kobakhidze reacted to police dispersing a protest and detentions in Denmark, claiming it shows “a far more than worrying” human-rights backslide in the EU.
Sanctioned Georgian Dream media mouthpieces are branding it “Copenhagen’s double standards,” using the incident to push their wider narrative about Europe’s “hypocrisy.”

In Russia, a similar system was created under the name of “combating extremism.” Officially, the goal was public safety, but in practice, the state used vague concepts against critical voices.

Over the years, accusations of “extremism” in Russia have been used to pressure opposition figures, journalists, NGOs, bloggers, and ordinary citizens over posts written on social media.

[Protest 24 @protest_24]

Ivanishvili’s top officials like Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili and PM Irakli Kobakhidze are posting May 9 “Victory Day” greetings today. This date used in Russia while most of Europe commemorates the end of WWII in Europe on May 8.

This isn’t just a calendar difference. May 9 is central to Russia’s disinformation campaign about WWII: it downplays 1939-41, obscures the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and the Nazi-Soviet invasion of Poland, and portrays the Red Army as a “liberator” of Eastern Europe.
