🇬🇪 Tbilisi: two rallies with a different mood and agenda at a distance of a kilometer from each other.
In the Georgian capital, against the backdrop of warm autumn weather, two actions are taking place tonight: a political opposition and a civil one, against compulsory vaccination.
📍 About three thousand people participate in the first one, near the Parliament. There are several times less people than at the same place two weeks ago on 31.10. Slogans about Saakashvili's release, election fraud, and the rapprochement of the current Georgian government with Putin and the Kremlin are being heard again. But in the crowd, among the participants, there are more and more conversations among themselves or photographing opposite the stage. It is still unclear how the leaders of the opposition movements will be able to rock the protest further. Moreover, the ruling party has already announced that it stops arguing "with the street" and commenting on their demands, and they want to concentrate or “the real problems in Georgia”.
The next opposition rally is scheduled for 14.11. at 19:00 in the same place, near the Parliament building.
📍 At the second rally, about a thousand participants gathered at the government office building. Nothing has changed here as well: words about segregation, medical fascism, accusations against doctors and politicians. However, the tone is even sharper and tougher than at many political actions. People speak out loudly, even though covid-passports and access to public places with them won’t be cancelled.
🇬🇪❤️ This is how Tbilisi lives now. Tourists calmly walk around the rallies, cafes and restaurants work as usual, someone is in a hurry to work, to the shopping center or to friends and family. People are still celebrating anniversaries or argue with each other in the city’s courtyards, and life goes on as usual.
