Abstract

The article focuses on the violent clashes between Georgian riot police and protesters in Tbilisi following municipal elections that were largely boycotted by opposition parties. The protests were sparked by allegations of political repression by the ruling Georgian Dream party, which reportedly secured about 81% of the vote amid low turnout. The Interior Ministry reported injuries to 32 police officers and six protesters, while five rally organizers were arrested and face significant prison time. Tensions have escalated in Georgia due to a controversial "foreign agent" law, which has drawn criticism from the US and EU, leading to suspended membership talks and sanctions against the ruling party's leader.
