"This week, we will discuss the regulation of pyrotechnics, its introduction, and implementation, which have been topics of discussion for a long time, including in the previous parliament. These events have highlighted the importance of regulating this area. By the way, in previous years, people concerned about birds and animals raised their voices on this issue. Do you remember, during the New Year, they urged us not to use pyrotechnics to protect the birds? It seems that the birds, which were frightened on Rustaveli Avenue, were of less concern to them, as they support such high-profile figures with their actions. In any case, these regulations have long been discussed in parliament, and
These events have shown us the need to act quickly, both in regulating pyrotechnics and prohibiting disguises during public gatherings," Papuashvili said at today’s briefing.
In recent days, police forces have repeatedly dispersed peaceful demonstrations using water cannons and tear gas, while demonstrators have thrown fireworks at riot police, which Shalva Papuashvili described as a pyrotechnic attack.
“When you target a police officer with direct artillery fire, as we saw live behind the parliament, this has nothing to do with Europe, sincerity, Georgianness, or human values in general,” Papuashvili stated.
In Tbilisi, demonstrations have been ongoing since November 28, with citizens protesting the decision of the Georgian Dream party, which has stated that Georgia will not put the issue of opening EU accession negotiations on the agenda until the end of 2028.
