Iran Press/Asia: Georgians united to assert their determination for freedom and a European future, with citizens, including President Salome Zourabichvili, opposing the government's decisions. They also protested the planned inauguration of a new president.
In a brief address, President Zourabichvili announced she would be at the presidential palace from 10 a.m. to outline her plans, stating, "I will share what the coming days will look like and what our days of victory will entail."
The government's refusal to begin EU accession talks before 2028 has ignited widespread public outrage, with many accusing the ruling party, Georgian Dream, of undermining democratic principles and ignoring strong public support for closer ties with the European Union.
As protests persist, tensions remain high in Tbilisi and other cities, with demonstrators demanding accountability and transparency from their leaders. This ongoing unrest marks a pivotal moment in Georgia's political landscape as citizens advocate for their rights and aspirations for European integration.
