Protests in Georgia Continue Amid EU Accession Delay

In Tbilisi, Georgia, mass pro-European protests continued with a notable reduction in police clashes, as the latest demonstrations on December 3-4 saw no major violence. However, 22 people were detained during these protests, bringing the total number of administrative arrests since November 28 to 293. The unrest follows the Georgian Dream party's decision to postpone EU accession talks until 2028, which has sparked widespread dissent among the populace. European Union Ambassador to Georgia, Pawel Herczynski, criticized this decision, stating it contradicts the aspirations of most Georgians. Despite the government's justification of police actions as a response to protester violence, human rights organizations have raised concerns about the treatment of demonstrators. Video footage also captured a young woman confronting riot police, highlighting the ongoing tension in the capital.
