📛 In Tbilisi, as a result of research, the DNA of a horse and a donkey was found in the meat.
The city service of the National Food Agency took samples for research at LTD "Leader" (Gldani A/District, 48) and studied them in an accredited laboratory. It turned out that under the guise of veal and beef, the product with the inclusion of horse and donkey meat was sold.
All products have been seized and will be destroyed.

🙈 There is a scandal in Tbilisi over the barbaric destruction of a mosaic facade on one of the city buildings.
A mosaic panel of the 70s was located along the entire length of the building of the Mioni factory. However, the owners of the building cut in large windows there. That actually destroyed the panel.
“The original composition is completely broken, we can talk not just about damage, but about the complete destruction of a work of art,” said Natalia Amirejibi from the Ribirabo Foundation for the Development and Support of the Georgian Mosaic.
❗️The facade lined with mosaics, although it is included in the tourist catalog of the city hall, according to Deputy Mayor Khmaladze
“does not have the status of a historical monument and is not subject to the rules established for buildings that are historical monuments.” However, given the public outcry, negotiations with the owners will be held to restore the original appearance of the building.

👮🏻♂️🚘 Cars with foreign plates will be included in the system of video recording of traffic violations in Georgia.
The bill has already been submitted to the Parliament and is expected to be adopted in the near future. Notifications of video-based fines will be published on a special portal or website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the driver will have 30 days to pay them. In case of non-payment, interest will be charged. Also, a foreigner, in case of malicious evasion from payment, may lose the right to enter Georgia until the debt is paid off.
“It is completely incomprehensible why a citizen of Georgia should be fined, but a citizen of another country shouldn't,” the road association stated.
ℹ️ At the moment, violations are being fixed, but notifications are not sent, due to the fact that foreign citizens do not have a residence permit and do not link a phone number to a car number.

📈🚘 In Georgia, prices for used cars increased by 15-20%.
In countries where used cars have traditionally been purchased, both domestic and foreign demand has grown significantly. Used car prices have risen around the world due to logistical problems during the pandemic. Georgia has been an important regional hub of the car market for the last 15 years. Used cars from the USA, Japan, and EU countries are transported to the country. Then they are repaired, pre-sale preparation is carried out and they are re-exported. In the first nine months of 2022, cars were imported in the amount of just over $1 billion (+59% more than last year). During the same period, cars worth $338 million were taken out of the country.
📊 The main countries importing cars to the Georgian market in 2022 were the USA, Japan, Germany and Turkey. And most of the exports went to Azerbaijan, Ukraine (before the war), Armenia, Kazakhstan and Russia.
👨🏭 Along with the increase in car prices, the Georgian market began to show a shortage of personnel in the field of car service. The reason is that due to relatively low incomes, many specialists left the country to work abroad. "Over the past year, there has been a strong outflow of personnel from the car service sector," said Gela Kvashilava, head of the Partnership for Road Safety NGO.

👮🏻♂️ The Gori District Court sentenced a man to 6 years in prison for large-scale fraud: he opened a fictitious company importing cars from abroad.

🇬🇪❤️🥘 Georgian cuisine restaurant Chama Mama was included in the red Michelin Guide for the first time.
Actually, it is not located in Georgia, but in New York, where it already has two branches.
“Georgian cuisine centered around meats, cheese and bread is what this bright and modern spot is about. Enter to discover a colorfully scribbled chalkboard as well as a metal-topped bar adorned with Moorish tiles. Lofty ceilings, white walls and natural wood floors add to the stark and clean feel... Dumplings filled with a blend of cheeses and pork and beef. Delicious simplicity shines through in the rich and cheesy puff pastry; while the "Butchers Special"—a beef-and-pork kebab—is coupled with green plum sauce and pomegranate seeds for a dash of fun and flair,” - wrote the influential restaurant guide.

🏥 Friends, be careful: there is a new wave of flu (covid?) in Georgia again.
Over the past few days, I have received dozens of messages asking me to suggest a clinic, doctors, or talk about health insurance (I will make a separate post about it one of these days). In telegram chats and Facebook groups, I also see messages that people are getting sick more often. Familiar doctors confirm this information. This may be standard for mid-November and cool weather, but the number of cases is clearly high. Maybe it's a new wave of covid (is someone doing tests now?). If you have a temperature, be sure to consult a doctor.
❗️ Take care of yourself and especially monitor the well-being of the children. All health!

🧐🥸 A group of MPs that left the ruling Georgian Dream in the summer proposed to control foreign funding of NGOs.
The status of "foreign agent", so well known to Russian citizens, is not yet discussed, but they plan to tighten legislation in this area. Traditional criticism of Americans was also present. Only if it was previously directed at the US Ambassador, now they hit one of the senators, who previously proposed to reconsider the strategic partnership with Georgia, given "a huge rollback of the country". A group of deputies wrote to Jinn Shaheen that "most of the American financial aid goes to NGOs anyway, which means that this money does not go to our country, but to your spy system."
❗️Prime Minister Garibashvili even had to to apologize: “Personally, this is unacceptable for me, I would like more restrained statements.”
