Thousands of protest in Tbilisi: In danger of joining the EU!

In Georgia it is bubbling! Thousands of people flocked to the streets again to protest against the controversial decision of the government, to put talks on the EU accession after the controversial elections. It is the 12th day in a row, on which the citizens raise their voice and fight for a return to European integration!

On Monday, the demonstrators gathered in front of the parliament in the capital of Tbilisa, while the political crisis continues to escalate in the Caucasian nation. The anger of people is noticeable and the demands for new elections are getting louder. The shock of the decision of Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on November 28th to stop the EU accession talks triggered a wave of outrage that does not break down

protests and police force

The police reaction to the protests was violent! The demonstrators were driven apart in the past with tear gas and water cannons. Over 400 people have been arrested since the beginning of the second wave of the unrest, and the international community is increasingly concerned about violence in the country.

The demonstrators cannot be intimidated! On Monday, they blew loudly in Hörner and whistle, while they held up a banner with the inscription "Less Russia is more freedom". This message is clear: the people of Georgia want their independence and a closer connection to Europe!

Christmas tree and protest messages

While the city set up a huge Christmas tree in front of the parliament on Monday, the pictures of people who were allegedly beaten by the police were removed as well as protest flyers attached to the tree the day before. A Symbol of the struggle for freedom and the continuing unrest in society!

The situation in Georgia remains tense, and the protests show that people are ready to fight for their rights and their future. The international community observes the developments closely, while citizens continue to stand up for their voice and European perspective!
