On Monday, the demonstrators gathered in front of the parliament in the capital Tbilisi and loudly demanded a new election and a return to European integration. The anger of the citizens is tangible and the political crisis shows no signs of relaxation. The displeasure cannot be overlooked!

a shock for the nation

The Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze caused excitement on November 28 when he announced the surprising decision to suspend the EU accession talks for the Candidate City of Tbilisi. This announcement triggered a wave of protests accompanied by a hard police reaction. The situation escalated!

The police used tear gas and water cannons to drive the demonstrators apart. Over 400 people have been arrested since the beginning of the second wave of the riots. Violence not only caused outrage in Georgia, but also caused sharp criticism internationally.
