Protests in Georgia: What Are They Demanding?

Representatives of opposition parties and non-governmental organizations in Georgia, along with their supporters, held a rally in central Tbilisi demanding the resignation of the government. Some participants spent the night in front of the government building, as reported by РИА новости.

The protest began on Sunday evening near the parliament building. Several hundred people moved to the office of the ruling party. Participants believe that a new government could implement necessary reforms to achieve candidate status for EU membership, while the ruling party, 'Georgian Dream', is incapable of doing so.

It should be noted that Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili has stated that he does not intend to resign because the EU has refused to grant the country candidate status for membership.
