1/16 A concluding 🧵on #NoToRussianLaw protests against the Russian-inspired law in Georgia. A big win for Georgian society, but the ruling Georgian Dream party has not suffered a strategic defeat yet: Image
2/16 Background: the Georgian Dream (GD) party created a spin-off group People's Power in August 2022 in order to openly and actively push anti-Western sentiments and 🇷🇺 friendly discourse in 🇬🇪. Over the months, the group lambasted the U.S. Embassy in 🇬🇪 and Ambassador Degnan. Image
3/16 The group of MPs has remained in the parliamentary majority and continued to be full-fledged members of the ruling party. To increase the reach of their disinformation campaigns, one of the members of People's Power MP Viktor Japaridze acquired the POSTV channel. Image

With the #TbilisiProtests happening, I feel obligated to compile a list of helpful tips and ideas to help the protesters deal with and survive the riot police, based on past mass protests I watched unfold. I welcome any and all additions bc I am no expert. 🧵
Personal Prep & Safety: Charge your phone & an extra battery bank if you have it. Tell someone where you are going. Do not go anywhere alone. If you are being arrested, shout out your name so others know who you are. 🧵
Write down important phone numbers on your arm with a permanent marker incase you lose your phone or it is taken. As far as phones go, turn off location services if you can. In 🇭🇰 the police would track the protesters via location services. 🧵

🇺🇲 и 🇪🇺 СПРЕМАЈУ МАЈДАН У #Tbilisi
#TbilisiProtests
Усвајање Закона о страним агентима довело је до узавреле атмосфере и туче у 🇬🇪 парламенту. Напета атмосфера пренијела се и на улице Тбилисија. Хиљаде људи се окупило на протесту.
Окупљена маса је покушала да провали у зграду парламента и почела да успоставља барикаде. Атмосферу извјештачи са лица мјеста упоређују са мајданским протестима у #Kiev 2013/14. Полиција је одбила напад на парламент и за сада контролише ситуацију.
🇪🇺 и 🇺🇲 дубоко су незадовољне неуталним ставом Грузије према рату 🇷🇺 и 🇺🇦. Влада у Тбилисију је одбила да уведе било какве санкције 🇷🇺, а камоли да изврши оружане провокације према побуњеној Абхазији и Јужној Осетији. Због тога су прошле године у Бриселу одбили да 🇬🇪 додијелe
