David Solomonia, Georgia’s ambassador to the Netherlands, has resigned.
This is the second ambassador to step down after the self-proclaimed government halted negotiations with the European Union.

Goed om @gatool.bsky.social vanochtend te horen op @nporadio1.bsky.social. Er is veel te weinig aandacht voor de protesten in #Georgië.
Black Friday was gisteren een echte zwarte vrijdag in Georgië door het brute politiegeweld. Tienduizenden mensen stonden weer op straat. Het verdriet van de afgelopen weken is omgeslagen in woede nu de Europese toekomst definitief dreigt weg te glippen. Alles-of-niets-moment, zo noemen velen het.

Dit is misschien wel het meest aangrijpende beeld van afgelopen nacht in #Tbilisi.
🔴 A disturbing video shows law enforcement officers brutally assaulting a citizen.
The footage was recorded during a Facebook Live broadcast by Teona Chalidze.
Rustaveli Avenue, #Tbilisi has been cleared of protesters following a violent police crackdown.
