👮🏻♂️22 participants in the rally in support of Mikheil Saakashvili were detained in Batumi.
The confrontation at the rally followed the demand for the activists to remove the tents set up on Gamsakhurdia Street and clear the roadway. Law enforcement officers considered that the number of protesters had decreased, and therefore there was no need to block the street, so they demanded that the activists vacate the territory and gave the protesters time to do this. The opposite is claimed by members of the National Movement party. According to them, the police dismantled the tents without warning and made arrests.
ℹ️ The day before, members of the "National Movement" held a rally in Batumi in support of Saakashvili, after which they set up tents in front of the Government House of Adjara.

❗️One person died, and a child is in intensive care due to an overturned boat during rafting near the village of Pasanauri.
A 23-year-old foreign woman died, and a 7-year-old boy is in the hospital after rafting down the Aragvi River. The boat, which was carrying four Indian nationals, reportedly capsized when a member of the group got up to take photos. Investigators are questioning an instructor who allowed a novice water trip during a strong river current.
ℹ️ This is the second case in a week when people die during extreme sports. On May 2, a paragliding instructor crashed in Gudauri, and the tourist who was with him in tandem was seriously injured.

🧮📥 The current president of the self-proclaimed South Ossetia, Anatoly Bibilov, admitted defeat in the presidential election.
Yes, yes, the one who recently threatened to announce a referendum on joining Russia. The CEC of South Ossetia counted 18% of the ballots, with a large margin (59% versus 37%), the leader is the “oppositionist” Alan Gagloev, who will be declared the winner tomorrow.
❗️But do not flatter yourself, one bandit and protege of the Kremlin replaces another. This region is very carefully supervised and controlled by the Russian administration.

📉🙁🇬🇪 In the latest edition of the World Hapiness Report 2022, Georgia took only 105th place.
This is the lowest of the ex-USSR countries (ranking on page 21). According to the answers to the question “Are you satisfied with your life - In general, do you feel at peace with your life, or not?” (page 139) - Georgia is generally one of the three worst countries in the world. At the same time, according to the survey, local residents are not satisfied with a quiet life, just like the Vietnamese, in this sense, the two countries literally stand out against the background of the whole world (p. 140).

👮🏻♂️🚘🚔 The Georgian authorities are thinking about reducing the speed limit in cities and tightening traffic rules.
In Georgia, for three months of 2022, 875,000 (!) fines were issued for traffic violations - of which 228,000 were for speeding, 194,000 for lack of technical inspection, 26,000 for talking while driving.
According to Irakli Izoria, director of the Foundation for Road Safety, this issue must be resolved as soon as possible. “There are a number of issues that need to be addressed in order to reduce the number of accidents. Speed limit is one of them. It is not allowed to drive at a speed of 60 km / h in a settlement in none of the European cities. Also, 15% of accidents happen due to technical malfunctions, which means poor control over the technical inspection.”
The discussion about slowing down in Tbilisi reopened in April after an accident in the capital, when a driver flew onto the sidewalk and knocked down an 8-year-old child who had to have his leg amputated and needs a complex operation.
ℹ️ According to the official statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Georgia for 2021:
📍449 people died in accidents, 9 of them were children
📍 There were 5863 accidents with serious consequences, followed by criminal penalties
7705 people were injured, including 754 children
📍half of all accidents occur in Tbilisi
📍The most common violation of the rules remains driving into the oncoming lane or breaking the rules of overtaking.

🇬🇪👶🇺🇦 An 8-month-old baby from Ukraine was successfully operated on in Tbilisi: a complex heart operation was performed at the Jo Ann University Hospital in the capital.
The family arrived in Georgia before March and were unable to return home due to the war, and the planned March operation in Kyiv was cancelled. But everything was organized in the Georgian capital, besides, the clinic paid all the expenses.
❤️ We sincerely wish the baby good health!
