Protests Erupt Over EU Membership Delay

Ongoing protests in Georgia indicate widespread discontent with the government’s decision to suspend its pursuit of EU membership until 2028. Following the European Parliament's resolution that labelled Georgia's recent election dubious, Prime Minister Irakli Kobachidzi's announcement has sparked outrage among citizens. Many view this suspension as a long-term rejection of the EU, contrary to their constitutional aspiration for European integration. The protests, particularly intense in Tbilisi, reflect public frustration with the government's stance and call for a reaffirmation of Georgia's commitment to its European future.
