С новогодней елкой грузины надеются на отдых от политики в праздничные дни

На площади Республики, в Тбилиси, зажжены огни на Рождественской елке. В Грузии официально начался праздничный сезон.

Мэр Тбилиси Каха Каладзе вместе с премьер-министром Мамукой Бахтадзе в субботу вечером (22 декабря) зажгли огни. Начиная со вторника, на площади вокруг елки будет работать Рождественский рынок в европейском стиле.

Многие грузины надеются, что дух Рождества даст передышку от сложной и неприятной политической атмосферы, которая в течение нескольких месяцев висела над Грузией, когда страна боролась за избрание своего президента, и этот процесс затянулся на недели, поскольку было необходимо проведение второго тура. В то время как грузины за последние три десятилетия закалились от политических интриг, в результате бешеных обменов между правительством и оппозицией в последние недели у многих осталось дурное послевкусие.

Конец года - это всегда хорошее время для подведения итогов, и грузины надеются, что их политики извлекут уроки из 2018 года, которых они не станут повторять в 2019 году.
