Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Has Georgia's repression plateaued?
Q: Has the resistance to growing authoritarianism plateaued?
Public protests continue in various forms, including daily observations and weekly marches, but the movement appears quieter on the surface as authorities consolidate control; nonetheless, regional outreach and new groups suggest ongoing momentum.
Has Georgia's repression plateaued?
Q: But then is it any worse than it was before with this new department?
Yes, it's worse in that the repressive measures are now a daily, routinized part of governance, extending into social media and daily life, which signals a systematic change rather than isolated incidents.
Mzia Amaghlobeli's arrest
Q: Can you explain why it is wrong for Mzia to be arrested for slapping a police officer?
While no one denies the act was a violation, the disproportionate response and targeting suggest politically motivated actions against her.
Mzia Amaghlobeli's arrest
Q: Do you think this case against Mzia was a targeted attack on Batumelebi and Netgazeti?
Yes, Mzia's arrest is a direct attack on Batumelebi and signals the broader targeting of critical media voices.
Mzia Amaghlobeli's arrest
Q: What do you think Mzia's arrest says about the current state of the media and media freedom in Georgia?
It sets a dangerous precedent for journalists and indicates a regression in media freedom in Georgia.
