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.
Analysis of the situation in France and Georgia after the elections and testimony from the protests in
Serbia
After the elections in France, a new momentum took place in French politics. The coalition is on glass
legs, and new elections are possible only after a year - explains in Labyrinth, the political advisor from
the ranks of Macron's party, Mathias Vasquez. Vasquez was also part of the observation mission of the
elections in Georgia and gives us more detailed information about the irregularities in the
implementation of the elections, which resulted in mass protests.
The young director Leonid Velkovski, who is currently studying in Novi Sad, is also a guest in Labyrinth,
and he conveys to us the atmosphere of the mass protests that took place there after the terrible
accident at the railway station in which 14 people died.
Analysis of the Georgia election and a Florida survey on American expectations.
Less than a week until the most important American election in modern history. For Labyrinth, colleague
Jalyssa Dugrot from Florida talked to young people about their views and expectations of the
presidential candidates.
Georgia, on the other hand, is back on its feet after the elections in which the ruling "Georgian Dream"
won. The people, the opposition and the international public do not recognize the results. Hungarian
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is the only European leader who appeared in support of his Georgian
colleagues. We talk to Ekaterine Basilaia - director of the Center for Media and Social Research of
Georgia about the atmosphere in Tbilisi and the reactions after the elections.
