Western-backed riots continue in Georgia; 100 security forces injured.
According to TASS, at least 100 police officers were injured during pro-Western protests against the Tbilisi government’s decision to postpone EU accession talks, according to the Georgian Interior Ministry.
According to the agency, a total of 113 security forces and police officers were injured, 21 of whom were injured in last night’s protests.
According to the ministry, protesters threw incendiary and incendiary substances at the Georgian parliament building and damaged the windows of one of the building’s offices by throwing stones and various objects.
The new wave of anti-government protests began on November 28, after Georgian Prime Minister Irali Kobakhidze announced that the EU accession talks would be postponed until 2028. According to the ruling Georgian Dream party, this decision was made following repeated attempts by the European Union to blackmail Tbilisi by starting negotiations in exchange for annulling and repealing some laws passed by the Georgian parliament.
Pro-Western protests in the Georgian capital in front of the country’s parliament building led to violent clashes with police, who used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the protesters.
