Georgia, a former Soviet republic, has been in turmoil since parliamentary elections held on October 26, which were won by the ruling Georgian Dream party. However, the opposition condemned election irregularities and is boycotting the work of the new convocation of parliament.
The pro-Western president of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, who cut off contacts with the government, confirmed today that the pro-European mobilization has not shown "any sign of giving up".
The street demonstrations, which have drawn thousands of protesters for several nights in a row, were triggered by the government's decision to delay the country's ambitions to join the European Union until 2028.
