In the capital of Georgia, demonstrators have taken a stand by setting up tents on a major thoroughfare, declaring their intention to remain there continuously in their call for new parliamentary elections in the country. The October election, which saw the ruling Georgian Dream party retain power, has been met with allegations of fraud by its opponents.
Since the disputed election, a series of significant protests have unfolded, with demonstrators even blocking a key avenue leading to Tbilisi's center. Critics of the Georgian Dream party, founded by a wealthy figure with ties to Russia, have raised concerns about its alleged slide towards authoritarianism and pro-Moscow policies.
