Protests Erupt in Georgia Over EU Membership Delay
Georgia has seen significant unrest following the government’s announcement to delay European Union membership talks until 2028, which many view as a response to the controversial parliamentary elections held on October 26. Over 100 protesters were arrested in Tbilisi and other cities on the second consecutive night of protests, with demonstrators clashing violently with police who used water cannons, tear gas, and rubber bullets. Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze's statement has fueled accusations of electoral fraud and a shift towards Russian influence, prompting strong reactions from the opposition and the public, who largely support EU integration. President Salome Zourabichvili condemned the government's actions, calling it a declaration of war against the people and urging restraint from law enforcement. Reports indicate that at least ten police officers were injured during the protests, while the number of injured demonstrators remains unconfirmed. As protests escalate, the situation is drawing international scrutiny, particularly from Brussels, which has demanded investigations into the electoral process.
