Georgia's Independence Day, meant to celebrate the nation's 106th year of autonomy, was overshadowed by internal political strife and public unrest due to a controversial media law. The law has not only divided the country's political leadership, with the president and prime minister publicly criticizing each other, but has also led to thousands of citizens protesting in the streets of Tbilisi. The discord highlights deep concerns over media freedom in Georgia and has attracted international attention, casting a shadow over what should have been a day of national pride.
