Civil servants join Tbilisi protests despite government threats

Demonstrators marched from Republic Square to the parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue in the city centre, blocking traffic and uniting with the main rally. The protest has entered its 14th day, with participants emphasizing peaceful demonstration despite tensions.
The article from MSN discusses the ongoing protests in Tbilisi, Georgia, where civil servants have joined demonstrators despite threats from the government. The protests are primarily against a controversial "foreign agents" bill, which critics argue mirrors Russian legislation used to suppress dissent. Despite the government's warnings of potential job losses and other repercussions, civil servants, including teachers and doctors, have publicly supported the protests. The Georgian government has threatened to dismiss those participating in the demonstrations, escalating tensions. The bill in question requires organizations receiving more than 20% of their funding from abroad to register as foreign agents, a move seen by many as an attempt to stifle civil society and media freedom. The protests have drawn international attention, with concerns raised about Georgia's democratic backsliding and its implications for the country's aspirations to join the European Union.
