David Solominia, the Georgian Ambassador to the Netherlands, has resigned, citing his commitment to Georgia’s European integration and condemning violence. His resignation comes in the wake of protests in Georgia against the ruling pro-Russian party, following allegations of election fraud. The European Parliament has rejected the recent election results and called for new elections within a year. Protests in Tbilisi against the government’s decision to postpone EU accession negotiations have resulted in the police using water cannons and pepper spray to disperse crowds.
