Car traffic has been restored in the center of the Georgian capital Tbilisi after an opposition rally held in front of the parliament building. 


After opposition supporters left Rustaveli Avenue in front of the parliament building, police again allowed traffic in both directions.

Currently, the stage adjacent to the legislative building is being dismantled and cleaning teams are working.

Parliamentary elections were held in Georgia on October 26. According to the Central Election Commission, the ruling Georgian Dream, which advocates maintaining relations with the Russian Federation and against anti-Russian sanctions, received 53.93% of the votes. Four opposition parties also entered parliament, receiving a total of 37.78%.

Opposition representatives have already stated that they do not recognize the CEC data. Special Coordinator of the short-term OSCE mission Pascal Alizar noted the good organization of the elections in Georgia, while stating a number of violations recorded by observers. Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili, who is helping the pro-European opposition despite the fact that the constitution requires the president to be non-partisan, called for protests over the election results.
