Pro-EU protests in Georgia; fireworks and tear gas used as protesters clash with police | N18G

Tensions in Georgia have escalated following the government’s decision to freeze EU membership talks for four years, sparking widespread protests. On Sunday, December 1, demonstrators gathered in Tbilisi, launching fireworks at police near the Georgian Parliament. The protests, which began the evening before, have continued for several days, with protesters clashing with police armed with tear gas and water cannons. The unrest is part of a broader political crisis in Georgia, where opposition groups accuse the ruling Georgian Dream party of adopting increasingly authoritarian, pro-Russian, and anti-Western policies. The government’s announcement on November 28 to suspend EU talks has intensified these tensions, leading to violent confrontations. Police began clearing protesters from central Tbilisi and erected barricades in the early hours of December 2. The protests are spreading across the country, reflecting widespread opposition to the government's move and further deepening the political crisis in the nation.
