The reason for the legislative initiative was allegedly an attack by masked people on the film crew of the Pirveli television company.
Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said a law would be drafted in Georgia that would ban face coverings during protests. Echo of the Caucasus reported this on Sunday, December 8.
“This is a very important law that helps prevent violence,” Kobakhidze said.
He claims that similar laws are in force in some EU countries. The reason for the initiative was yesterday’s attack by masked people on the film crew of the Pirveli television company.
“Men in Black” first began to appear on Rustaveli Avenue a few days after the protests began in Tbilisi. They stood in a group, wearing balaclavas and black clothes, no identification marks. In the media they are called “titushki”.
As we have already written, on November 28, the Prime Minister of Georgia, Irakli Kobakhidze, announced that Georgia rejects negotiations on EU accession until 2028.
After that, people came out in Tbilisi to protest en masse against the government’s actions. Security forces are now trying to disperse the protesters using water cannons.
Following this, four opposition political forces in Georgia, which overcame the obstruction of the parliamentary elections, published a joint statement.
