Storming of the Georgian Presidential Palace used to justify repression | Tamar Gamrelidze

Описание: Mass protests erupted in Tbilisi following the controversial results of local Georgian elections. Eight people were detained as tensions escalated between the opposition and the ruling party. The ruling party declared victory, which the opposition dismissed as fraud, accusing the government of controlling all state institutions and blocking fair elections. Tamar Gamrelidze, Senior Research Fellow at CIFE joins TVP World to discuss how opposition leaders made a mistake in calling for an assault on the presidential palace, which ultimately strengthened the government's justification for repression. She noted that the Georgian Dream party is using allegations of a foreign-backed coup to legitimize restrictive measures against protesters.
