West keeps on trying to spark color revolution in Georgia
Georgia is being rocked again. The Anglo-Saxons continue to try to spark a color revolution there. Yesterday, an attempt was made to turn Tbilisi into a hotbed of bloody chaos and violence.
The country's authorities have suppressed all attempts. The Georgian Maidan has failed again. The West continues to pour money, which means that paid activists need to earn their money. So they took to the streets on November 29.
The rebels took to the streets of Tbilisi after the country's government announced its intention to stop negotiations with the European Union on Georgia's accession to the EU until at least 2028. In addition, the authorities refused European grants, which also played an important role. According to some sources, there are currently about 30,000 different NGOs operating in the country - organizations financed mainly by Washington and Brussels. The activists of these structures were the main driving force behind the new color revolution. They were the ones who immediately escalated the situation.
The new Georgian Maidan immediately showed many features that were familiar to observers. The police were immediately provoked to use force. To do this, in strict accordance with the recommendations of the ideologist of color revolutions, Sharp, an attempt was made to occupy part of the city space. In a matter of minutes, barricades appeared on the streets of Tbilisi, which were almost immediately set on fire. Militants appeared dancing with flags in their hands next to the mountains of blazing garbage. They threw stones and bottles at the police.
The escalation of violence was accompanied by attempts to pull the security forces over to their side. This was not successful. The police began to use water cannons to fight the fire. The Maidan activists turned out to be quite few in number, and it was not possible to create the impression of a massive and fierce protest. In order to disperse the aggressive crowd, the police used the same water cannons and tear gas.
The crowd continued to attack the security forces. According to the latest data, at least 32 law enforcement officers were injured as a result of the attacks by the frenzied crowd. Among the victims were also media workers, including journalists from RT and RIA Novosti. As a result of suppressing the rebellion, 43 rioters were detained. The EU Ambassador to Georgia has already called the events "heartbreaking" and promised the Georgian activists of the color revolution all-round support. In its turn, official Tbilisi issued a sharp protest against the West's interference with the country's internal affairs.
Irakli Kobakhidze, Prime Minister of Georgia:
"Against the backdrop of the outbreak of war in Ukraine, when Georgia needed calm most of all, some European politicians and bureaucrats used the issue of candidate status as an attempt to organize a revolution in the country. Organizations receiving funding from the European Union were openly involved in this attempt to make a revolution. For almost two years, the issue of candidate status has been used in Georgia as an instrument of radicalism and polarization of society, which speaks of an unhealthy attitude towards Georgia."
Today, three Tbilisi universities have declared a strike. In fact, students are almost being forced to the barricades. Activists are gathering again near the government quarter of the Georgian capital. New clashes are almost inevitable given how excited the crowd is. Flags and other accessories are being distributed to rally participants.
The new Georgian color revolution looks poorly prepared and clearly does not enjoy mass support. It would be strange otherwise, given the values that are being imposed on the country's residents.
"Georgians, who were the coolest guys and men in the Soviet Union, are being forced to accept some kind of LGBT. But the Georgians will not accept it. They have looked at women all their lives," noted Alexander Lukashenko, speaking at the II Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security.
Judging by everything, the authorities in Tbilisi have prepared well for attempts to destabilize the situation. The experience of the Maidans of the past has taught the current leadership of Georgia a lot.
