The protests began in Georgia over the arrival of Vladimir Pozner
Georgian media reported that Posner came to Georgia to celebrate his 87th birthday.
In Tbilisi, in front of a hotel where Russian journalist Vladimir Pozner stayed from Moscow on Wednesday night, clashes broke out between the police and protesters organized by the opposition. This was announced on Wednesday, March 31, according to the Telegram channel Sputnik Georgia.
According to media reports, the protesters, demanding that the authorities expel Pozner from Georgia, managed to cut off the electricity supply to the hotel building, and also threw eggs at the hotel where the host was staying.
Representatives of various opposition parties called the arrival of a Russian journalist in Tbilisi unacceptable.
According to them, such a visit “is unacceptable both from a moral and legal point of view, as well as from the point of view of compliance with anti-pandemic norms.”
“We do not plan to disperse and we will be here until those who do not consider Abkhazia as part of Georgia leave our country. There will be continued action,” said Zaal Udumashvili, leader of the opposition United National Movement party, writes RIA Novosti. …
In turn, the Georgia Interior Ministry said that Pozner is legally on Georgian territory. As for anti-epidemic measures, in this case there are no infractions either, since some of the arrivals with the journalist presented a document on vaccination against COVID-19, and others, a certificate of negative result of the PCR test for coronavirus. .
Earlier, the Russian presenter said that Abkhazia will never be part of Georgia.
Let us remind you that in Georgia the leaders of the opposition parties accused the ruling Georgian Dream party of interrupting negotiations on the country’s exit from the political crisis.
