Deep Dive | Episode 24 | Political Tensions and Protests in Georgia

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.
