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.

Military parade to be held in Beijing as China and Russia reaffirm close ties

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States. Relations between China and Russia have deepened in recent years, particularly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
