🇬🇪⚡️🇷🇺 Upper Lars and roads in Gudauri are closed due to weather conditions.
After prolonged rains, rivers and streams overflowed their banks, carrying stones onto the track and creating a large flow of water. According to eyewitnesses, mudflow came down in one place and the Ministry of Internal Affairs completely stopped traffic in Stepantsminda. I also do not advise you to go to Gudauri on a sedan now. The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, for its part, also blocked the movement of all types of transport.
ℹ️ The timing of the recovery has not yet been reported, as it will largely depend on the weather forecast, but for now there is a high probability of precipitation.

👮🏻♂️ The Georgian Interior Ministry has said it will take all appropriate measures to ensure that this week's Tbilisi Pride events take place in a safe environment.
Representatives of the ultra-conservative and radical platform "Alt-Info" were summoned for interrogation in connection with complaints about threats from them against the organizers and participants of the week of dignity.
🏳️🌈 LGBT festival runs from June 28 to July 2. Tbilisi Pride had previously announced that all events would be held in a closed format, but they feared attacks even in this case.
Most likely, the situation of last year will occur, when the festival, film screening, master classes and other indoor events took place through cordons and surrounded by thousands of police officers. In 2021, participants who came to the events were verbally threatened, various objects were thrown at them, one of the eggs even hit the British ambassador.

👮🏻♂ An unusual lawsuit was registered in Georgia.
Manana Kobakhidze, a former member of parliament and now a judge of the Constitutional Court, is demanding that she be granted the status of a victim in the case of illegal wiretapping. We are talking about a data breach that occurred in 2021. More than 50,000 files containing information about the personal lives of journalists, representatives of religious organizations, politicians, civic activists, and diplomats have been released to the media.
😉 The content of the conversations, which the judge did not like so much, is curious: on the recording, she discusses with an Orthodox priest a lawsuit against a condom manufacturer. Then the company "Aiisa" on the packaging published images of various famous people, including Queen Tamar, the statue of Mother Georgia and others who offended the public.

🧐 MPs who left the ruling party do not rule out that President Salome Zurabishvili may pardon the Georgian oppositionists.
According to ex-Georgian Dream MPs Subari, Kavelashvili and Khundadze, the release of ex-president Saakashvili and founder of the main opposition channel Gvaramia remains the main depolarization issue required by the EU to grant the country candidate status. In this regard, the President agree to their pardon. The goal of their release will be a new impetus to revolutionary scenarios and a coup d'état.
