Large-scale protests against the policies of the pro-Russian government continue in Georgia. In Tbilisi, protesters began storming parliament, expressing their discontent with the actions of the ruling Georgian Dream party.
The situation worsened after the party abandoned negotiations on the country’s accession to the European Union. This decision caused a wave of indignation among citizens who consider European integration a key step for the future of Georgia.
Protesters set fire to an effigy of oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili, accused of supporting pro-Russian policies. Amid growing tensions, several government agencies and business representatives expressed their solidarity with the people and condemned the government’s actions.
President Salomé Zurabishvili declared the illegitimacy of parliament and stressed that it no longer represents the interests of the country’s citizens.
The United States strongly condemned the actions of Georgian leaders, accusing them of ignoring the will of the people. Washington also announced the end of its strategic partnership with Tbilisi.
Since yesterday, dozens of victims have been reported, including journalists, and hundreds of protesters have been arrested. However, this does not stop the protests that continue in the streets of the capital.
Georgia has become another point in a series of protests directed against pro-Russian regimes. The pressure on those forces is increasing and the protests in Tbilisi could become a turning point for the future of the country and its international politics.
