Mein neuster Bericht weshalb beschränkte Verschiffungskapazitäten auf dem #KaspischenMeer und Probleme mit #Schwarzmeerhäfen in #Georgien (namentlich mit dem Hafenprojekt in #Anaklia) ernsthafte Hürden für den Ausbau des #Mittelkorridors darstellen.

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)

0900 in #Tbilisi, #Georgia, time of scheduled contested election of new president by electoral college:
So far, announcements for protests only managed to draw at the very most a few hundred people in front of parliament.

It should also be noted that, when the police, in the beginning, more or less ignored fireworks, protestors, in the night from 30th November to 1st of December, went farther and farther until they managed to cause at least two small fires inside parliament by shooting fireworks inside. (5/7)

And dispersal begins. #GeorgiaProtests #Tbilisi

Changed now. Riot police and water canon on Liberty Square from where dispersal of protests usually begin.

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

Just minutess ago: Police moving in to clear #GeorgiaProtests in front of parliament. #Georgia

Standoff between protestors and police on one side of the parliament literally empty in front of police cordon on other side of parliament. #GeorgianProtest #GeorgianElection #GeVote2024

#GeorgianProtests right now (0210) in front of parliament. Still several thousand peope here chanting and banging on metal barriers, but half of the space in front of the parliament empty. Numerous police on site but staying passive. #Georgia #GeorgianElections #GeVote2024

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

Impression from the closest point to the #lineofcontrol between #Georgia and #Abkhazia that one can reach on the shore of the #BlackSea.

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.

Turnout at protests against #GeorgianElections results remain modest. Tonight’s rally, seen as crucial as the new parliament is set to be inaugurated the morrow (25th), only drew at most a very few thousands that did *not* even fill up the space in front of parliament. #Georgia #GeVote2024

Turnout at #protests against #GeorgianElections results still remains modest; e.g. a 24 hours sit-in that started yesterday evening managed to only draw at most a few hundred people and less than 40 small tents in rather subdued mood.

Turnout at #protests against #GeorgianElections results remains modest. Tonight's high-profile rally with speeches of members of European parliaments only gathered a few thousands that did NOT even fill the whole space in front of parliament. #Georgia #GeVote2024
