🏳️🌈🚫🇬🇪 A protest rally was held near the building of the EU Delegation in Tbilisi.
Several dozen anti-LGBT movement participants gathered on Chavchavadze Avenue with placards that state "Diplomats - hands off our children", "Idiot ambassadors must be expelled from the country." All this was accompanied by crossed out photographs of European ambassadors. This is due to the fact that earlier diplomats have repeatedly expressed words of support for LGBT movements in Georgia and pointed out the importance of equal rights in society.
👮🏻♂️Police detained several representatives of violent groups, including protest leader Guram Palavandishvili.
🇪🇺 Let me remind you that this week the EU commission will consider Georgia's application for EU candidate status.

🇬🇪The President of Georgia, who is on an official visit to Italy, spoke about the anti-LGBT actions that took place in the country yesterday.
According to her, “It is unimaginable and defies logic that the activation of pro-Russian, violent, homophobic, anti-European groups at the most important moments for the country is uncontrollable. These are deliberate actions that damage the European path of Georgia and do not reflect the opinion of the people.”
ℹ️ Yesterday, several dozen people came to protest at the EU Delegation in Tbilisi. Participants' posters featured homophobic slogans and crossed-out photographs of European diplomats working in the country.
