situation as of 13.00 May 12, 2024
🔻Looking at their neighbors, Georgian oppositionists resumed actions of disobedience in connection with the upcoming consideration of the “Law on Foreign Agents” in the third reading in parliament on May 13.
▪️On May 10, a few rallies of opposition supporters and pro-Western structures were held in Batumi , Kutaisi and Gori , where there were again calls for the repeal of the bill. There were no serious incidents.
▪️The next day, a larger procession took place in Tbilisi . Protesters gathered at four points in the capital and moved towards Europe Square .
▪️Assessing the footage on the Internet, it can be assumed that the number of protest participants exceeded tens of thousands of citizens (Western media talk about hundreds of thousands of people, calling it the largest in Georgian history) , but there is no more accurate data.
▪️While on the main capital square, the protesters chanted slogans in support of the European Union and against the bill, but as soon as the pouring rain began, everyone began to disperse.
🔻Today at 22.30 local time a new strike is expected. Various resources urge citizens to go to the square and block all roads to parliament, where the hearing is to take place tomorrow. A “yellow” danger level has already been introduced.
As we have clearly seen for several weeks now, protests in Georgia are not giving the desired result. If the current authorities adhere to the current tactics, then nothing will come of the anti-government forces.
Oddly enough, Armenian protesters should pay attention to what is happening in Georgia. Without a clear action plan, strikes in Armenia could repeat the fate of pro-American rallies, which, despite their scale, remain at the same stage.
