For the third consecutive night, thousands of Georgians protested in Tbilissi against the government’s decision to delay discussions on Georgia’s EU membership until 2028. The protests follow controversies around recent elections and a disputed law on ‘foreign influence’. Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze vowed to continue pursuing EU integration despite challenges, while President Salomé Zourabichvili criticized the election results and galvanized public resistance. The protests have seen police clashing with demonstrators, raising concerns about the government’s use of force against peaceful assemblies.
