I’ll I’ll [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I feel like this law is going to destroy the European future that my country has been fighting for and the values that their ancestors have been fighting for for ages and I think the Georgian government is trying to take something away from us that we the majority of us is like very desperate to have [Music]

Your ancestors were fighting to be European?? 😂
people democracy, raging against the Politicos, its great to see the awakening of the working classes..
Diversity is our strength, no sorry unity is our strength ,thats the one, very non diverse crowd dont you think.

Lead protestors are funded by EU Endowment for Democracy and Washington's National Endowment for Democracy, both of whom are used by their respective rulers to achieve regime change in foreign countries, and who seek to make Georgia into Ukraine 2.0
The Grauniad back to it's best I see 🤣
Obviously the georgian government is looking at Ukraine when it comes to Joining the EU.
The people however, clearly do not want to exist under the fetid paw of Putin.
Disclosing where your money comes from doesn't benefit the colour revolution funders.
Ukraine number 2 Georgia falling for EU USA dream 😴 seriously if you really accept democracy why don’t you learn from Ukraine 🇺🇦
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones go marching in again
They need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity, boy
The wheel is spinning me
It's never-ending, never-ending
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
In time or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale, oh well
The page is out of print
We are not permanent
We're temporary, temporary
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
I'm the voice inside your head
You refuse to hear
I'm the face that you have to face
Mirroring your stare
I'm what's left, I'm what's right
I'm the enemy
I'm the hand that'll take you down
Bring you to your knees
So, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say that I'll never surrender?
What if I say you're not like the others? (Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? (You know they all)
You're the pretender (pretend)
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others? (Keep you in the dark)
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays? (You know they all)
You're the pretender (pretend)
What if I say I will never surrender?
So who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
Yeah, who are you?
"Tuck you, I won't do what you tell me!" RATM
The early 2000s repeating themselves all over the world
Georgia lies in Asia and therefore won't ever be part of the European Union.
Сша и Англия вирусы мира
The United States has a law like this. Why the protests?
წავიდეთ ძმებო! ეს არის ბოლო შანსი, რომ მოსპოს ყველაფერი რუსულ-ფაშისტური, რათა თქვენი შვილები არ გახდნენ მათი სამოთხე! უკრაინა შენთანაა!
Europe is not anymore a economy Union… is a fkng comunist federation.
the people themselves must choose their own path to freedom and not corrupt politicians
Georgia is Asia. How they can join EU?
🇬🇪⬆️🇪🇺⬆️🇬🇧⬆️🇺🇸⬆️
Not entirely sure how they elected officals who sold then out after fighting Russia for freedom.
What about the Foreign Agents Registration Act (22 U.S.C. § 611) (FARA)? Is it undemocratic as well? "Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi"?
