Give Hungary the boot already. It's high time for them to get to the FO phase already.

Pro-Russian Hungarian PM Orban is currently the ONLY European leader who did not support Zelensky after his meeting with Trump.

I have never seen as much solidarity among us Europeans as today. And it makes me proud.

Trump thinks he humiliated Zelensky. He humiliated the United States of America. And he made the world a much more dangerous place. Mob boss foreign policy will not work. The Trump-Putin axis fully came out of the closet today.

I’ve never felt such contempt for the USA….

On the day of russian invasion of Ukraine, 3 years ago, a big march of support is going on in Tbilisi. It started from the Ukrainian embassy and is moving towards the daily protest location infront of the parliament. On the way, people stopped at the Taras Shevchenko statue. 🇺🇦🇬🇪

"False witness, executioner" – Protesters brought mirrors to the rally on Rustaveli Avenue for police officers to look at themselves. #GeorgiaProtests Day 79 📷Basti Mgaloblishvili, Makuna Gochiashvili

Georgia's self-proclaimed government, the Georgian Dream Party, is illegitimate. In a resolution, MEPs called on the international community to join the boycott of the self-proclaimed authorities, who they accuse of eroding the country’s democracy & cracking down on dissents.

Day 78 - and the protests are still going strong. Major protests are planned on the 15th and the 18th.

Georgia is being Stalinized. If it becomes a second Belarus, that would be a huge and unaffordable blow to Europe. My interview for @ipnEng: www.interpressnews.ge/en/article/1...

Sorry for my french but these fuckers are all in. Hans is a great person and friend of Georgia, who if you’d know him? never even harmed a fly. Marches won’t solve anything - the only way forward seems to be the violent one.

Three police people & translator came to my door an hour ago to give me 5.000 GEL (approx $1.800) fine for standing ("blocking traffic") in totally peaceful protest w thousands of good people yesterday. Opera singer Paata Burchuladze also fined today. @alain-berset.coe.int #Tbilisi #Georgia

Today, more than ever before, dozens of protesters and some journalists among them are getting calls or visits from the police notifying them about being fined "for blocking road" on Rustaveli. The amount of fine is USD 1,770 now.

We’re so fkn back baby!

Wait, what… are those fireworks? At a protest? But didn’t GD ban them? #GeorgiaProtests

Are you #StandingWithGeorgianPeople in their protest again 'russian dream' lunatics? READ the text of “Georgian Nightmare Non-Recognition Act’👇 and call your lawmaker to support H.R.-243 #SaveGeorgia

For Georgian Dream, "traditional values" means that stupid men can live out their violent fantasies. We see this in action practically every day.

Police have violently disrupted a demonstration by journalists in support of Batumlebi and Netgazeti founder Mzia Amaghlobeli who faces 4-7 years in prison for slapping a police officer, which many claim is a wildly disproportionate sentence. She has been on hunger strike for 24 days.

Savages. This is what we are up against in Georgia. Do not mistake our struggle for your average hand holding demonstration in some safe European country.

Zurab Shonia, beaten on February 2 by the regime police. As friends tell me, it was Zurab who was personally beaten by the violent special forces head “Khareba” in a famous video below. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests

Today was an emotionally and physically taxing day with protesters deciding to try and block the main artery connecting Tbilisi to western Georgian and it’s northern border. Didn’t manage to post earlier as I just got home, so here’s a quick 🧵 for those interested

The brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters, journalists and politicians tonight in Tbilisi is unacceptable. Georgia falls short of any expectation from a candidate country. The EU stands with the people of Georgia in their fight for freedom and democracy.

Georgia is fighting for its freedom right now Thousands are taking to the streets in Tbilisi and other cities, resisting repression and standing up against the russian puppet ‘GD’ regime. Please share and help amplify Georgian voices 🇬🇪🇪🇺✊ Follow this feed for live updates: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Two key demands of #GeorgiaProtests remain: 1. New, free, and fair elections 2. Release of all regime's prisoners

'When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty' 🇬🇪🇪🇺 #GeorgiaProtests ✊🔥 📸 Mindia Gabadze/Publika

One of the best Georgian fighters, Kakha Tilidze, fell in the war with the Russians. For his significant contribution to strengthening & protecting national security, he was awarded (posthumously) the highest award of the MIU of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Glory to the heroes!

When a government is morphing openly and brazenly into a full blown dictatorship, restricting freedom of speech, physically assaulting kids, women and elderly and detaining critical voices - the response from the people will only be one:

📌 Mzia Amaghlobeli has dedicated her life to the freedom of #Georgia and to the cause of freedom in general. Today, when we call for freedom for Mzia, we are also calling for #freedom for Georgia, for all political prisoners, and for everyone standing up against dictatorship! @netgazeti.org ✊

The scumbags of the world really learned to coordinate their actions

‼️🇭🇺🇬🇪 Details are still emerging about how Viktor Orbán's government meddled in Georgia's election. His campaign strategists aided the ruling party, while underlings, like MEP András László from Orbán's party (on this video), served as fake election observers to whitewash the rigged vote. 1/5

Independent media outlets Batumetelebi and Netgazeti founder and director, Mzia Amaglobeli was sentenced to prison today. In protest, all TV stations not controlled by the govt. have temporarily stopped their broadcasting. Meanwhile, far right government station POS TV is airing russian TV series

Batumelebi&Netgazeti@netgazeti.org · 2y ago

“This will be Georgia without critical media. Freedom for Mzia Amaglobeli and all political prisoner. We are on strike!” Independent and critical media outlets hold a symbolic three-hour strike. #Georgia #GeorgiaProtests

Sanctions against the Georgian Dream regime pillars, including their economic tentacles, is due as soon as possible. It might be too late in a couple of months, considering the very rapidly consolidating dynamic of the dictatorship.

Day 43 and the protests are still going strong! There were some earlier futile attempts by the police to not let people close Rustaveli avenue.

For 32 days, the Georgian people have faced down regime violence to fight for fair elections & a future away from Russia and with the EU. Every democracy globally needs to publicly state that we have their backs. The Russian state is the world’s foremost terrorist. Georgia’s fight is our fight.

Jetzt ist es ganz klar: Wenn Sie wollen, dass Deutschland von internationalen Oligarchen regiert wird, dann wählen Sie AfD

THIS! @helsinkicomm.bsky.social Chair Joe Wilson will introduce the Georgian Nightmare Non-Recognition Act next week, which will √ prohibit U.S. recognition of the GD regime in Georgia √ recognize Salome Zourabichvili as the only legitimate leader in Georgia until free and fair elections

Wow this is amazing!

At Chaos Communication Congress, one of the largest hacker conventions in the world, which is currently taking place in Hamburg, participants have launched a solidarity campaign for the #GeorgiaProtests. The banner reads “Hackers love Georgian Protests” & “New Elections, Free the prisoners” #38c3
