Violent protests are taking place in Georgia since the local elections. The main opposition groups have boycotted the municipal elections in the South Caucasus. Thousands of people took out a rally in the capital Tabilisi to protest against the repressive policies of the ruling party Georgian Dream. He believes that these policies are trying to take Georgia from his democratic aspirations and take it under Russia’s control.
After the election results, further enraged demonstrations
The protesters took placards in support of Georgian flags and membership of the European Union. The Georgian Dream had stopped the talks of joining the European Union last year, after which anti -government protests took place in the country, large -scale arrests and violence. This whole matter was further enraged after the local election results. The opposition accused the election of rigging. After this, big and small rallies are going on despite all-round suppression by the government targeting protesters, non-governmental organizations and independent media. Critics say that some rallies have been held on the lines of laws passed in Russia, where President Vladimir Putin has strictly suppressed disagreement. Demonstrator Sophio Asatiani told the Associated Press on Saturday that we are fighting for our rights and azidi. She said that she does not want to see the return of the Soviet period, when Georgia was ruled by Moscow.
Police strictness on violation of Georgian laws
Senior opera singer Pata Burchuladje was also present at the rally. He called for handing over power back to the people. He expressed widespread disappointment towards the government that has put the major opposition leaders in jail, tried to close the critical media and imposed mass arrests and heavy fines on peaceful protesters. Thousands of people tried to forcibly enter the Rashtrapati Bhavan in the capital Tabilisi and broke the gate. The opposition promised a peaceful performance before the municipal elections held on Saturday, which was boycotted by most parties criticizing the Georgian Dream. According to the preliminary data of the Central Election Commission, the first part of the day recorded less than 30 percent turnout. Georji Rukhdje, one of Tabilisi’s political analysts and protesters, termed the local election as a fake election. Meanwhile, the Georgian police said on Saturday that during the protest, protesters have violated Georgian laws.
