Mass Protests Sweep Through Georgia: Parliament Set Ablaze

Demonstrators burned an effigy of the head of the pro-Russian Georgian Dream party Bidzina Ivanishvili.

Protesters in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, organized a large-scale protest near the parliament building, where they actively express their disagreement with the government's policies. The protesters erected barricades on the streets and threw fireworks at the parliament. This was reported by Ekho Kavkaza.

A fire broke out in the parliament building during large-scale protests in Georgia. The fire broke out after protesters began throwing fireworks at the parliament, some of which hit the broken windows.

At the same time, videos appeared on social networks in which demonstrators burned an effigy of the leader of the pro-Russian Georgian Dream party Bidzina Ivanishvili. This became a symbolic act of protest against the authorities' decision to freeze the country's European integration.

Protests that began several days ago have engulfed Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi and other cities in Georgia after the government announced it would abandon EU accession talks until 2028. The government's decision has sparked outrage among the population, with thousands taking to the streets demanding change and immediate negotiations.
