Protesters in Tbilisi again blocked the avenue in front of parliament.

Activists protesting the Georgian government’s suspension of EU membership negotiations resumed their rally outside the Georgian parliament on Tuesday evening and blocked Rustaveli Avenue in central Tbilisi.

The promotion has been running for the 13th evening in a row. Now about two thousand people participate in it. The police do not interfere in what is happening.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Georgian State Security Service said that the organizers of the protests, coordinated by the intelligence services of foreign countries, are planning to disrupt the presidential elections scheduled for December 14.


Another series of opposition protests began in Georgia on November 28, after Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced the decision to suspend consideration of the start of negotiations on the country’s membership in the European Union until 2028. Protesters use firecrackers, stones, bottles, and it was reported that Molotov cocktail bottles were found at the site of the pogroms. Security forces respond by using special equipment, including water cannons.
