Georgians will welcome the New Year with protests and will not give up on their European future – says the Leader of the For the People party, Anna Dolidze. Dolidze is an expert in international law, until 2018 she was the legal advisor to the President, and then a member of the Judicial Council.
In Labyrinth we talked about the stolen elections and the Russian hybrid influence that managed to divert the country from the European integration path. The protests escalated, and the use of water cannons and violence by the police did not change the Georgians’ minds to continue fighting for their rights. About 500 protesters, including some injured, will spend the holidays in detention. We also discussed with Dolidze the international support and the sanctions imposed by the US and the UK on some of the Georgian authorities, but not by the European Union.

Dimitrova: Everyone supported Zaharieva's candidacy for EC
A conversation with the journalist Dimitrova about the situation in Bulgaria and the Macedonian issue.
Bulgaria is facing the seventh parliamentary elections and has been in a political crisis for three years due to the inability to elect a stable government. In the pre-election, Macedonia is even more part of the rhetoric of the political contenders and it seems as if that is the only point on which they agree.
The guest in this edition of Labyrinth is the journalist Tonya Dimitrova from the National Service, with whom we talked not only about the elections, but also about the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights that Bulgaria does not want to implement, the constitutional amendments that they require from us, as well as about the problems that Zaharieva has in her political career towards European institutions.
Watch the full episode.
