On October 4, the day of local elections, protests took place in Tbilisi. Several dozen protesters attempted to break into the presidential palace. According to Newsgeogria, police used water cannons to disperse the demonstrators, and clashes broke out between protesters and security forces.

“You know that some foreigners, including the EU representative, directly supported the attempt to overthrow the constitutional order. Against this background, the EU ambassador to Georgia bears special responsibility for this,” Kobakhidze said at a news briefing pointing to the EU Ambassador Paweł Herczyński.

The Georgian Ministry of Health reported the hospitalization of six protesters and 21 police officers following clashes near the presidential palace.

Globalists and the EU continue to stir up trouble in Georgia and fuel violent protests on the streets of Tbilisi.

“Months of raids on independent media, the passing of laws targeting civil society, the jailing of opponents and activists or amendments to the electoral code favouring the ruling party, drastically reduced the possibility of having competitive elections. A large part of the opposition boycotted these elections, and the turnout was relatively low.

“In addition, the refusal by the Georgian authorities to invite international monitors in due time, in particular OSCE/ODIHR, undermined the transparency of the electoral process and prevented credible international monitoring. Domestic organisations also refrained from observing due to the repressive environment.

“Large numbers of people constantly protested the repressive policies of the governing party, Georgian Dream. We call for the release of all those arbitrarily detained.

“We urge calm and restraint in the post-election period and call on the authorities to uphold citizens’ rights to freedom of assembly and expression. A constructive and inclusive dialogue involving all political actors and civil society is essential, and we call on every side to refrain from violence.

“Finally, the European Union firmly rejects and condemns the disinformation regarding the EU’s role in Georgia and denounces the personal attacks against the Ambassador of the European Union to Georgia”.
