🇪🇺⚡️🇬🇪 The European Parliament voted for a resolution on violations of media freedom in Georgia and challenges to the safety of journalists.
The text contains criticism of the events of July 5, 2021, when more than 50 journalists were beaten by a mob of radicals in Tbilisi. Some of the perpetrators were arrested and sentenced to prison, but others, including the organizers, have yet to be held accountable. The agreed text also refers to the verdict against the general director of the opposition TV channel Mtavari Arkhi Gvaramia, as well as the cases against the owners of the TV channels TV Pirveli and Formula. In addition, the court decision against the founders of the Lelo for Georgia party is mentioned. The authors of the resolution also touch upon the state of health of ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili. The decision states that, on humanitarian grounds, he should be allowed treatment abroad. The text has also been amended to include a call for sanctions against Georgia's former prime minister and richest man, Bidzina Ivanishvili.
❗️Irakli Kobakhidze, a representative of the ruling party, has already commented on the resolution: “The campaign, which since 2012 has been producing criminals upon returning to power, has reached one of the highest institutions of the EU, the European Parliament.”

🇬🇪🇺🇦 In Tbilisi and Batumi, actions were held dedicated to the "Independence Day from Putin" and support for the Ukrainian people.
On this day, which is celebrated in Russia as a holiday, the Russians who came to Georgia reminded of the crimes of the Putin regime, that many of them do not agree with what is happening and are against the war. "We demand the de-occupation of Georgia and Ukraine!" - one of the main slogans today. And going to the rally, the least that can be done now, many thanks to everyone who came and expressed their position.

🇬🇪 Exactly seven years have passed since the June 13, 2015 flood in Tbilisi: 21 people died, two went missing and hundreds were injured.
The catastrophe destroyed houses, roads, bridges, tunnels, communication systems. The territories of the Mziuri park and the zoo were completely flooded. Some of the animals died. The infrastructure of the city was damaged, including the overpass connecting Vake-Saburtalo.
👨🚒 The liquidation of the consequences of the flood has become an example of the courage of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and ordinary citizens.
