Georgian president says government 'not legitimate' as thousands again take to streets
Saturday, 30 November 2024 () Georgia's president has said the Caucasian country's government is "not legitimate" as thousands of protesters gathered again in the capital after a halt to EU membership talks.
Georgia's pro-Western president Salome Zurabishvili expresses solidarity with a "resistance movement" that is seeing thousands rally against the government's decision to delay EU membership talks amid a post-election crisis.
The US has suspended its strategic partnership with Georgia after the Georgian Dream party halted EU accession talks, calling it a betrayal of the constitution. The US also condemned the excessive use of force against peaceful protesters in Tbilisi. This major shift in diplomatic relations comes amid rising tensions and unrest in Georgia over the EU integration process.

Violent clashes erupted outside Georgia's parliament in Tbilisi as protesters gathered for a third consecutive night to protest the government’s decision to delay European Union membership talks. Demonstrators, accusing the government of electoral fraud in the recent parliamentary elections, clashed with riot police who responded with rubber bullets, tear gas, and water cannons. Protesters threw fireworks and set up barricades, while flames were seen coming from a parliament window. Over 100 people were arrested, and the opposition has condemned the government's alignment with Russia, accusing it of derailing Georgia’s EU aspirations.
