The Georgian government tried to stop the protests with a Christmas tree, the protesters quickly responded by 'decorating' it.

In Tbilisi, a New Year's tree was set up in front of the parliament to prevent protesters who are opposing the government's decision to abandon Eurointegration. The protesters responded by sticking photos of beaten participants of the protests and journalists onto the tree.

The tree is surrounded by security forces and they do not allow outsiders near it.

The Georgian authorities are trying to avoid the Ukrainian scenario

Earlier, the Georgian authorities stated that they would not allow the 'Ukrainian Maidan scenario,' but now everything is unfolding precisely according to that scenario.

The tree - a symbol of protest

During the Euromaidan, Yanukovych tried to ban the protests by erecting 'yolki' (Christmas trees). Later, this structure became one of the symbols of the Revolution of Dignity.

Protests continue in Georgia due to the refusal of Eurointegration. Despite the dispersals, Georgians continue to come to the square every evening.

Searches in the offices of opposition parties

Recently, the police conducted searches in the offices of opposition parties. Several individuals were detained, including the leader of the 'Coalition for Change' and an activist.
