Massive crowds gathered in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, to voice their discontent. Throughout the day, representatives from various societal sectors marched through the city, calling for new parliamentary elections and the release of protesters detained in previous demonstrations.
As evening fell, demonstrators reconvened in front of the parliament building, effectively blocking Shota Rustaveli Street. They waved Georgian, EU, and Ukrainian flags and displayed banners with anti-government messages, highlighting their opposition to Kobakhidze's decision.
The suspension was declared on November 28 by Kobakhidze, who claimed that the move was in response to political interference and alleged extortion from the European Union. Despite the suspension of talks until 2028, the Prime Minister stated that Georgia would continue to work towards EU membership, aiming for full integration by 2030.
This announcement initially triggered widespread public outrage, leading to thousands assembling in Tbilisi to protest, marking the beginning of what has now become an ongoing movement against the government's decision. (ILKHA)
