4 года лишения свободы за драку на избирательном участке в Грузии.

Министерство юстици Грузии по поручению премьер-министра страны подготовило поправки в Уголовный кодекс, которые предусматривают ужесточение наказания за драку на избирательном участке. Такое поручение было дано после инцидента, произошедшего 22 мая в Корцхели на промежуточных выборах в районные сакребуло, когда между сторонниками "Грузинской мечты" и "Единого национального движения" произошла драка.

Как сообщается, за массовую драку на избирательных участках будет введено наказание в виде 4 лет лишения свободы.

Министр юстиции, Теа Цулукиани, сообщила, что "в Уголовный кодекс будет добавлена новая статья, которая сделает уголовно наказуемым насилие или угрозу насилия на избирательном участке во время выборов, предвыборной кампании или на месте агитации, или на близлежащей территории".

Инициатива ужесточения наказания за драку на избирательном участке исходит от премьр-министра Грузии, Георгия Квирикашвили.

На сайте правительства Грузии было опубликовано его заявление, в котором сказано: "Так как ныне существующий закон не предусматривает достаточно строгого наказания за такие факты, я поручаю министру юстиции быстро, на ближайшем заседании правительства представить законодательные изменения, согласно которым будут ужесточены санкции за любое проявление насилия во время политических и избирательных процессов".

Касаясь непосредственно инцидента в Корцхели, он заявил следующее: "Я жду от министерства внутренних дел, что все подозреваемые в участии в насильственных действиях лица будут выявлены в кратчайшие сроки и будут наказаны по всей строгости закона".

Георгий Квирикашвили также заявил, что "События, которые имели место на промежуточных выборах в Самегрело неприемлемы. Такие инциденты не должны повториться вновь. Я не могу не подчеркнуть важность отхода от прежней практики проведения выборов в обстановке насилия. Это относится к прошлому и не имеет места в сегодняшней Грузии."

Произошедший инцидент осудили многие международные наблюдатели и организации. В случившемся "Грузинская мечта" и "Единое национальное движение" обвиняют друг друга.

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
