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.

Syria freed from dictator, but terrorism is still a threat
Interview with war reporter Bud Wichers
After 13 years of civil war, the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria has fallen almost without a fight. The rebel HTS (Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) has taken power and is trying to make a peaceful transition. In the meantime, the US, Israel and Turkey are bombing places that are strongholds of ISIS, the Kurdish party or places that are suspected of having remnants of chemical weapons used by Assad. In this episode, we talk to war reporter Bud Wichers from the Netherlands who has been reporting from Syria since the very beginning of the uprising in 2011. Wichers has extensive experience reporting from the Middle East, and in Syria he reported from the biggest hot spots and was in contact with almost all the factions fighting in Syria. He says it is good that the regime has finally fallen, but he is still suspicious of possible terrorist hot spots, that is, he suspects that HTS has severed all ties with its previous “umbrella” Al Nusra Front, which was practically the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda.

Граѓаните со молк изразија сочувство и голем дел од нив рекоа дека ќе продолжат да протестираат додека правдата не биде задоволена. На протестот присуствуваше семејството на младата Фросина, како и семејствата на претходните жртви на дивеењето на Партизанска.

FOCUS ON SERBIA
Serbian students are not giving up on blockades. After the 24-hour blockade of Belgrade’s Avtokomanda, Novi Sad will be blocked this weekend. Three months have passed since the terrible accident that took 15 lives and the same number of months since the student blockades that woke up all of Serbia.
In this episode of Labyrinth, we talk to Aleksandra Krstic, a professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Belgrade, who was also a candidate for a member of REM, the regulatory body for the supervision of electronic media, but together with 6 other professors withdrew their candidacies due to numerous irregularities in the process.
We also talk to fellow journalist, Nikola Krstic, who is one of the journalists facing public lynching and labeling by pro-government tabloids.
