Protests in Georgia over the halt of the European integration process
Mass protests are taking place in Georgia due to the ruling party's announcement to halt the European integration process. More than 500 employees of the Justice House have issued a statement condemning the actions of the authorities. This was reported by Voice of America.
State institution employees stated that the acceleration of European integration contradicts the Constitution of Georgia and goes beyond political preferences. They emphasized that integration into the European Union and NATO is the only way to ensure national security and sovereignty.
Protests have spread across several cities in Georgia
The protests have spread across several cities in Georgia, including Tbilisi, Batumi, Zugdidi, Kutaisi, and Telavi. Participants in the rallies gathered in front of the buildings of parliament and government, expressing their dissatisfaction.
‘I resign from my position in protest against the decision of the 'Georgian Dream' party, which violates the Constitution of Georgia’
A particular case was the resignation of Rati Tvalavadze, an advisor on the USA and Great Britain in the Georgian Defense Forces, who called the decision made a betrayal of the Constitution.
Protests are accompanied by clashes with police
The protests are accompanied by clashes with the police. Law enforcement agencies are using water cannons and gas capsules with pepper spray, while protesters respond with pyrotechnics and burning the ruling party's flags.
In addition, journalists from the Rustavi2 channel, who support the government, refused to work due to the violence applied against the participants of the protests.
