Georgia's ruling party has initiated amendments to the Law on Assemblies and Manifestations and the Code of Administrative Offenses, the discussion and adoption of which will proceed expeditiously. According to the bill, organizers of events at "places where people move" will be required to notify state authorities in advance.
After a certain chairman of the Council of Fathers of Russia Andrei Zgonnikov appealed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a criminal case was opened against Georgian musician Erekle Getsadze. Earlier, the head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Bastrykin ordered this to be done.
At the end of May, a video from the Tbilisi Open Air festival was spread on social networks. Singer Erekle Getsadze threw a Russian tricolor on the stage, then put it in a bag and pretended to relieve himself on it. Some spectators began to applaud him.
The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed indignation about this. “When God did not give a man brains, other organs have to work - in this case, the very one that, apparently, most often comes to hand,” the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova commented on the incident.
