Protests erupted on Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi on the evening of November 24 and continued overnight as demonstrators opposed the legitimacy of Georgia's 11th convocation of parliament. The first parliamentary session, scheduled for November 25, has drawn criticism from the opposition, the president, and non-governmental organizations, who consider the election results illegitimate.
The Georgian Dream party, which scheduled the session despite the election's legitimacy being under review by the Constitutional Court, plans to certify members of parliament, elect a chairman and deputies, and appoint committee heads during the proceedings. Critics, including some constitutional experts, argue that the new parliament lacks the authority to recognize its credentials before the Constitutional Court's decision.
Authorities have tightened security around the parliament building, declaring a yellow security zone with restrictions on access. Police have blocked streets leading to the parliament and deployed special equipment, including a recently purchased water cannon, in Freedom Square. Media access to parliamentary activities has also been curtailed, with online outlets prohibited from entering.
Protesters, many of whom spent the night on Rustaveli Avenue, remain defiant. The demonstrations reflect growing dissatisfaction with the electoral process and concerns over the erosion of democratic principles in Georgia.
