BRIEF SUMMARY ON THE NEW STAGE OF ASSAULT IN 🇬🇪👇🏻
The Georgian Dream wants to speed-run in a gamble, they know that their medium-term is brittle. They no longer care about any popularity, they only care about subjugation through disorganization, managed poverty, and emigration. 1/

🇬🇪Georgian Dream joins Tehran’s mullahs in celebrating the Islamic Revolution, honoring a request from the Iranian Embassy to light up Tbilisi’s TV tower in the colors of the Iranian flag.
The same regime has killed thousands of its own people.

Georgia, the most persistent civic resistance in contemporary Europe, needs one key ingredient — a viable political alternative. In the absence of a dominant, that means some form of unity among democratic parties.
Such an alternative would swing the process in several ways: 🧵

🇬🇪Georgia has entered a new phase of political repression. A mass “Opposition Silencing Trial” is now underway in Tbilisi, targeting leading opposition figures in a single, collective prosecution that Georgian Dream brands as a “sabotage case.” 1/10

🇬🇪Georgia is sliding into a legal dictatorship. Not overnight. Step by step. Each protest is met with a new tailored law.
Each law designed to exhaust, criminalize, and isolate society until resistance itself becomes illegal.
Here is how the latest law changes everything.

🇬🇪Sanctions work by raising the cost of enabling dictatorship.
For years, backing Georgian Dream had been “good for business” because the cost was close to zero.
That calculation has now changed.

Do you agree that Georgia will never become an EU member as long as Georgian Dream stays in power?
Is GD the most undemocratic and human rights-violating political force in Europe?
