Back from today's demo. Numbers since New Year have been low. Maybe a few 1000
But I'm not worried *yet* that we're merely a teeny tiny protest (trademark David Lee 😆)
It's a feat that anyone at all came out between NY & Georgian Xmas
But soon comes make or break time... 🧵 1/3

Crowd at #GeorgiaProtests against #GeorgiaPresidentialElection grew, but still only remains in the hundreds. Some creative protests in icy winds but over all hardly active atmopshere. (Photo taken at 1027)

Thread on #GeorgiaProtests
While various police behaviour against protestors in #Tbilisi #Georgia does raise serious worries and is rightly highlighted, the often portrayed notion that protestors play no role whatsoever in escalations is *not* accurate. (1/7)

Tonight, for the first time since the eruption of mass #protests in #Tbilisi #Georgia on 28th/29th November, there is *no* heavy riot police presence and no heavy water canons standing by, but mostly only a few regular policemen. Photo tonight 2306; below tweet for comparison. #GeorgiaProtests

As of evening, most protestors have left the area around the Georgian parliament. Maybe 100 or 200 still camp out, still blocking a main road. After the low turnout of protestors yesterday and today, they seem to fight a losing battle though. #GeVote2024 #GeorgianElections #GeorgianProtest

As #Georgia 's new parliament is convening for the first time, protestors around the parliament decrying #election fraud number at the very most a very few thousands and probably less -- far too few to put any serious pressure on the government.
