Mass protests have gripped Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi, after Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze’s government suspended EU accession talks until 2028. The demonstrations, ongoing for four days, have resulted in 113 police injuries and 224 arrests, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Violent clashes erupted outside the parliament, with protesters damaging property, setting up barricades, and defying police orders.
Prime Minister Kobakhidze accused opposition parties of orchestrating the unrest with external financial backing, calling it a “revolutionary plan.” He warned of severe repercussions for those attempting to “overthrow the constitutional structure.”
