Pro-EU demonstrations in Georgia have entered their ninth day, with hundreds gathering outside the parliament in Tbilisi to express outrage at the government’s decision to suspend talks on joining the European Union. Protesters blocked the city’s central Rustaveli Avenue, demanding the resignation of the ruling Georgian Dream party and calling for new parliamentary elections.
Tensions flared as police intervened to disperse the crowd. The unrest follows the government’s controversial decision to halt EU accession discussions and reject any funding from the bloc until 2028. The move has sparked widespread criticism and raised concerns about Georgia's future alignment with European values.
The ongoing protests highlight deep divisions in the country, as demonstrators continue to push for closer ties with the European Union.
