Participants of the opposition rally in Tbilisi, having left the Rustaveli Avenue occupied since Monday, reached the Tbilisi State University and settled on the street in front of it, obstructing car traffic, RIA Novosti correspondent reports.
Individual opposition supporters and groups of protesters separate from the general mass and leave the rally
On Monday evening, another opposition rally began near the country's parliament, from where protesters were pushed further down Rustaveli Avenue. There, as well as in the adjacent streets of the Georgian capital, the protesters spent the night. On Tuesday morning they left Rustaveli Avenue without waiting for a violent dispersal.
Another series of opposition protests began in Georgia on November 28, after Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced the decision to suspend consideration of the issue of starting negotiations on the country's membership in the European Union until 2028. The protesters used firecrackers, stones, bottles, and Molotov cocktail bottles found at the site of the pogroms were also reported. Security forces responded by using special equipment, including water cannons.
Parliamentary elections were held in Georgia on October 26. According to the CEC, the ruling Georgian Dream party, which favors preserving relations with Russia and opposes anti-Russian sanctions, won 53.93% of the vote. Four opposition parties also passed into parliament, receiving a total of 37.78%. Opposition representatives have already said they do not recognize the CEC data. Pascal Alizar, special coordinator of the OSCE short-term mission, noted the good organization of the elections in Georgia, but said there were a number of violations recorded by observers. 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.
