Tomorrow at 22:00 on Talk Georgia Question Time George Meladze and I will be answering your questions on Georgian and international politics:

Here’s a preview of what’s coming up:

Levan

Politicians are in jail, activists are in jail, NGOs and independent media are under siege. What’s next—and how should we respond?

Lena

The European Parliament passed a strong resolution on Mzia Amaghlobeli and the state of media freedom in Georgia. So why isn’t the EU taking action? Why isn’t it using all its leverage to hold Ivanishvili and his allies accountable?

Samanta

There’s an intense debate over whether opposition parties should take part in the upcoming local elections. What’s your view? Why are some parties calling for a boycott while others insist on staying in the race?

Lika

In your opinion, how might the Israel–Iran conflict end? Are we currently at risk, and how could this impact us in the future?

Tonight at 22:00 on Talk Georgia Question Time Nodar Kharshiladze and I will be answering your questions on Georgian and international politics:

Here’s a preview of what’s coming up:

Anna:

Nika Gvaramia is now the third opposition leader jailed. 21-year-old Mate Devidze just got 4.5 years for swinging a stick. People are fined for Facebook posts. Are we waking up in Chelyabinsk? How should we—and our Western allies—respond?

Beso:

Polish PM Donald Tusk says he’s building a coalition to suspend Georgia’s EU visa-free regime. How real is the threat—and how soon could it happen?

Keso:

If Kobakhidze says communist China is a “model country,” why does he compare the European Parliament—which he clearly despises—to a Soviet institution? What’s the message here?

Vano:

When Russia’s SVR and Georgian Dream use identical language to attack Western embassies, how do their supporters not see they’re echoing the Kremlin? And why do European capitals stay silent when their ambassadors are targeted? Tune in on Droeba YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
