Direct quote from Tvalavadze: "On November 28, 2024, the government of Georgia consciously turned away from the European path, openly declaring that it no longer adheres to the historical aspiration of our people to integrate Georgia into the European Union. With this decision, the 'Georgian Dream' party has betrayed our Constitution – Article 78 of our Constitution states that integration into Euro-Atlantic institutions is a key goal of our foreign policy."
Details: On the evening of November 29, a large protest gathered outside the parliament in Tbilisi, leading to clashes with the police. Ultimately, the protesters were brutally dispersed using water cannons and tear gas. Law enforcement officers during the dispersal attacked journalists and their equipment.
"My request to all of you is the following - spread the information about the events happening in Georgia to the capitals of Europe and America," Tvalavadze writes, addressing his friends abroad.
Background:
