‘This is our last chance’: The fight for democracy in Georgia

Since the Georgian parliamentary elections in October 2024, which were overshadowed by accusations of manipulation, thousands of people have regularly taken to the streets, especially in the capital Tbilisi. In some cases, there has been massive police violence against demonstrators and journalists. Who are the protesters and what will help them not to give up? We talked to the activist Ana Sikhashvili, the journalist Aleksandre Keshelashvili and the trans woman Sani Morizstein.

How Ukrainian farmers are adapting

In the midst of active warfare, Ukrainian farmers are adapting to new climatic conditions, for example in the Kharkiv region. They are changing the timing of sowing and harvesting, looking for new crops and using greenhouses and nets not only to harvest earlier but also to protect crops from extreme weather events.

The climate crisis and the willingness to sacrifice disadvantaged people

People with disabilities are two to four times more likely to be injured or even die during climate emergencies than people without disabilities. However, it is not only the climate crisis itself that affects these people disproportionately more often, but also unrealised measures to counteract the climate crisis. Our author Petra Eller reports on how such measures create new barriers, especially for people with health impairments and disabilities.

Migrants' resistance to immigration. Ironic oxymoron? No, political reality!

The targeting of immigrants is not only a phenomenon of the majority society, but often also of the migrants themselves. In their search for their place in society, immigrants often encounter the coldness of those who have already undergone integration. Does accepting the prejudices of a majority become the ticket to a ‘normal’ life? Politicians, the media and society all play a part in this. Why do those who should be closest to each other define themselves against each other?
