Protests in Georgia: A Fight for Values

Demonstrations in Georgia have evolved from discontent over delayed European Union accession to a broader struggle for democracy and independence from Russian influence. The ruling Georgian Dream Party faced heightened protests, especially after appointing a new president largely viewed as a puppet of Moscow. Citizens expressed their frustration through large, persistent protests, underscoring a desire for a government that aligns with their values and aspirations for a more democratic society. This shifting focus illustrates how the protests have become a pivotal moment for many Georgians demanding substantial change in their political landscape.
