❗️Protests began in Georgia after the authorities refused negotiations on accession to the EU
Promotions take place in Tbilisi, Kutaisi and Batumi. In the capital, protesters blocked roads near the offices of the ruling party.
Special forces and police are on duty near the parliament building. Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili personally came out and joined the demonstrators, making statements about the “continuing constitutional revolution in the country” and the “turn towards Russia.”
The President of Georgia was previously summoned for questioning in the case of election fraud, but she did not appear.
Georgian oppositionists gathered at protests in different parts of the country after Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced that the country would interrupt negotiations on accession to the EU until 2028.
