Are, according to Kobakhidze, all these Georgians bolsheviks too?

Unlike those serving interests of the oligarch, these people are the true Georgian patriots! They are not a Georgian dream, but its future!
RT @FormulaGe: Tens of thousands rally in Tbilisi demanding the withdrawal of the Russia-style 'foreign agents' law' and the release of those detained during the last night's crackdown on yesterday's rally

For all the ruling party’s attempts to profess their support for the people's European aspirations, their actions speak to the contrary.
The Georgian authorities are there to serve the Georgian people, not the interests of one oligarch and the Kremlin!!

On one hand, it is no doubt an attempt to silence critical voices ahead of the parliamentary elections. However, we also need to see this legislation in the wider context

I am both disappointed and shocked by the passing of the so-called foreign agent law. It is not only an attack on democratic values, but runs contrary to Georgian people’s European aspirations. @EPPGroup

RT @noahbarkin: It is an odd message to be sending to Europe. If anything the Russian invasion of Ukraine has underscored Europe’s dependence on the US for its own security. Qin is promoting a European autonomy with Chinese characteristics that is at odds with the consensus in Europe

Todd Tobinson is spot on. The Georgian authorities should distinguish whose interests their proposed legislation truly serves.
RT @FormulaGe: "This is a law based on Russia’s interests, not Georgia’s interests. We think its in Georgia’s interest to work more closely towards its Euro-Atlantic integration. This law does not do that," US Assistant Secretary of State Todd Robinson stated in Tbilisi.

Very disturbing to hear about the deteriorating health of the brave Vladimir Kara-Murza. The Kremlin have tried twice to poison him, we must do all in our power to secure his well-being and freedom!

The sentencing in absentia of @Tsihanouskaya, Maria Maroz, Syarhey Dylevski, Paval Latushka & Volha Kavalkova by the illegitimate regime is absurd. It is Lukashenka and his henchmen who belong in jail, not freedom-loving Belarusian patriots!

I am appalled by the sentencing of Ales Byalyatski, Valyantsin Stefanovich & Uladzimer Labkovich by the illegitimate regime.
The only criminals who belong behind bars are Lukashenka and his henchmen.
