Georgia has become a focal point of political tension as protests erupt following the government’s decision to pause European Union accession talks. Demonstrators, aligned with opposition parties and the pro-Western President, have clashed with riot police. In contrast, the governing Georgian Dream party defends its stance amidst accusations of election irregularities and Russian influence. At the heart of the unrest are questions about Georgia's political direction, its alignment between East and West, and the implications of policies such as the “foreign agents bill” and restrictions on LGBTQIA+ rights. As the protests unfold, Georgia’s political future and European integration remain uncertain.
Mass opposition protests sparked in Georgia following the government's decision to put the EU accession talks on hold. The protestors reportedly threw fireworks at police officers and built barricades on the Georgian capital's central boulevard. In a bid to disperse the agitators, police used water cannons and tear gas and detained over 300 protesters.
More than 300 protesters have been detained since Thursday and over 100 people have been treated for injuries.
The protests across Georgia are against the government's decision to postpone its bid to join the EU and also reflect broader discontent with the pro-Russia Georgian Dream regime.

Georges Mikautadze converted the spot kick, sending it past Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa in the 57th minute.

A game that ended 1-1 in the end, but could have gone to 2-1 to the either side. A penalty gave Georgia the lead but the Czechs equalised after the half-time and no one could do any further damage to the scoreline.

The measure would require media and non-governmental organizations to register as “carrying out the interests of a foreign power” if they receive more than 20% of their budget from abroad. Opponents denounce it as “the Russian law” because of similar regulations there.
