🚠 Repair work has begun at the lower station of the Rustaveli Avenue cable car in Tbilisi.
After many years of promises, the mayor's office announced a tender and began to restore the station. The company that won the competition is obliged to complete the cable car project from Rustaveli Avenue to Mtatsminda Mountain within 15 months.
😢 Let me remind you that the station in this place was built in 1958 and existed until June 1990, but stopped working after a tragic accident that killed 20 people.

❓🇬🇪🎤 The beginning of censorship in Georgia?
Journalists of the opposition TV channels TV Pirveli and Mtavari Arkhi were not allowed to attend the briefing of the Minister of Culture Tea Tsulukiani. They found out about the briefing from their sources. The TV crews of the channels arrived at the ministry 30 minutes before the start, but they were not allowed to be present without giving a specific reason. The media will appeal to the People's Defender, since there has been obstruction in journalistic activity and discrimination.

🌹 Today, on the 18th anniversary of the Rose Revolution, supporters of Mikheil Saakashvili and civil activists organized a human chain in Tbilisi.
The action started from Freedom Square and ends at Rose Square.
🇬🇪 The Rose Revolution (Georgian: "Vardebis Revolution") took place in Georgia in November 2003. The main motive is the falsification of the parliamentary elections on November 2, 2003. During the revolution, Eduard Shevardnadze resigned his powers and the leadership of the country passed to the oppositionists led by Mikhail Saakashvili.

🥘📗 Owners of restaurants and catering outlets in connection with the introduction of green passports ask questions to the government.
❓There are no rules obliging employees to be vaccinated, as a result, an unvaccinated guest can meet with unvaccinated staff, then what’s the purpose of a green passport?
❓Why is a green passport needed in restaurants and fitness centers, but not introduced in beauty salons or shopping malls? You can enter the shopping center without a passport, and to have lunch at the food court, you need to show documents.
❓Why should restaurants be open until 23-00, if only visitors with green passports go to them?
❓The application does not display a human face, so employees of establishments will need to require an identity card from guests, but how many people carry it with them now?
❓From December 1, at the entrance to various institutions of a person without a passport, a fine will be imposed on a legal entity, and not on a citizen, because he is also a violator?

📗 Will the green passport for those who have been ill in Georgia be given without an expiry date? The dispute between doctors and the government.
According to the statement of the head of the operational headquarters, Georgy Gibradze, the "green status" is assigned to a person who has been fully vaccinated, i.e. has been vaccinated twice or has had a coronavirus, but 14 days must pass from the moment of a laboratory-confirmed case. That is, after recovery from covid, the so-called restrictions no longer exist, and the person will always have a "green status".
❗️Doctors do not agree with the indefinite status for those who have been ill.
"In general, it is unimaginable to talk about an indefinite period. Probably, there is some kind of technical blunder or misunderstanding. There are reinfections. Coronavirus is not a measles, which you need to get over and be free all your life. Coronavirus is very different from this disease. This is the part that must be changed" the head of the vaccination commission, Ivane Chkhaidze, replied emotionally. He also noted that sooner or later Georgia will have to take an unpopular step towards mandatory vaccination for certain categories of citizens and professions.

🙈📗 In order to confuse everyone completely, the Georgian authorities decided to make two types of covid passports.
📍for internal use - indefinite;
📍for trips abroad - valid for six months.
How this will be implemented, I will definitely write in the near future, but in the meantime, read the comment of the Minister of Health Ekaterina Tikaradze on the journalist's question:
Journalist: "Why is it that Georgia is the only country where there are 2 types of covid passports? One temporary for vaccinated and the second permanent green passport for those who have had covid?"
The Minister of Health: "We are a special country and Georgians are unique people, so we have two covid passports and no one is surprised by this. And this is all based on our genetics and character. Each of us is a Georgian and I specifically believe that we should gradually get used to the changes that are taking place in the world."

❓📗 Issuance of indefinite "green" passports: what guided the government?
A well-known Georgian allergist-immunologist Bidzina Kolbegov addressed officials with this question: "There is no precedent in any country in the world to give a person a covid passport for life after he has had a coronavirus." Also, according to him, the introduction of these documents, taking into account the list of places where a passport is required, will raise the level of vaccination by only 5-10% and more serious steps are needed.
