Bidzina #Ivanishvili's rapper son #Bera allegedly tasking State Protection Service Head #Chubinidze to punish and humiliate youngsters for Facebook posts which he found insulting. Current Prime Minister Irakli #Gharibashvili appears to be encouraging such actions #GeorgiaCrisis

More and more harassment and intimidation stories are breaking in light of the scandal involving #BERA, the son of oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili. The Prosecutor's Office remAins silent -another clear symptom of state capture in Georgia.

A very interesting investigation into specific election rigging schemes. The October 31 election was a combination of these 13 falsification mechanisms.

Such close involvement of #EU and our American partnerrs is a crucial factor for an amicable resolution of the crisis. I hope that soon we will witness an agreement, which will support broader political reconciliation in Georgia.

Despite personal involvement of António Costa, Ivanishvili's efforts to undermine peaceful political reconciliation have succeeded, as Georgian Dream walks away from a dialogue mediated by special envoy Christian Danielsson. Sad day for Georgian democracy

RIP Grandpa Data! Thank you for giving us an example of tremendous bravery and resistance. I hope that someday soon we will be able to celebrate your life and civic heroism on the other side of the barbed wire that prevented us from attending your funeral today

Thanks to the EU and António Costa, chances remain for an amicable resolution of the political crisis in Georgia. Looking forward to the visit of special envoy Christian Danielsson, who will travel back to Tbilisi later this week.

Today we started collecting signatures requesting snap elections in Georgia. We will try to reach as many citizens as possible, so that the ruling party recognizes free and fair elections as the only way out of this political crisis. Lelo For Georgia

Vandaag hebben Laurent Staartjes en ik Saba Buadze uit Georgië 🇬🇪ontvangen. Hij is gemeenteraadslid namens onze liberale zusterpartij Lelo in Tbilisi. Mooi om zo ervaringen uit te kunnen wisselen en de verschillende Europese liberale perspectieven te zien. Dank VVD Internationaal.
