Demonstrators in Tbilisi reminded about the falsifications in the parliamentary elections.

On the 698th day of continuous protests, activists gathered in the center of Tbilisi to defend multipartyism and reminded the "Georgian Dream" of their refusal to recognize the results of the parliamentary elections that took place two years ago.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on October 25, on the 697th day of daily actions, opposition forces gathered their supporters for a march against the policies of the "Georgian Dream" under the slogan: "Georgia without Ivanishvili". The demonstrators called the march the start of a new wave of protests amid attempts by the ruling party to ban the activities of opposition parties.

Supporters of Georgia's Eurointegration gathered this evening in front of the parliament building on Rustaveli Avenue for the 698th consecutive evening, reports Netgazeti.

Due to ongoing repairs on Rustaveli Avenue, some activists with national flags and EU flags have been holding daily protests in front of the Tbilisi City Council building in recent weeks. The main demands of the protesters remain the release of all political prisoners and a return to a Euro-Atlantic course for the country.

Activists at the parliament held placards saying "Don't stop the fight", "I am from Georgia and my country is occupied by Russia", "Slavery will never be called peace", "Kremlin lackeys have no future in Georgia", "Freedom for Zviad Tsetskhladze", and "No one-party rule", according to a series of photos on the Facebook page of photographer Georgy Mosiashvili (Mo Se).

One of the placards also read "Two years after the stolen elections: we will not accept it". The last parliamentary elections in Georgia took place on October 26, 2024, amid sharp confrontation between the ruling party and the opposition, and their results were not recognized by the European Union.

Today, the process regarding the lawsuit of the "Georgian Dream" to ban opposition political forces continued in the Constitutional Court of Georgia. A representative of the "United National Movement" party, Zaza Bibilaashvili, stated during the proceedings that the aim of the ruling party's lawsuit is to confirm "at the constitutional level" the claims about the legitimacy of Moscow's actions in August 2008.

"The result of satisfying this lawsuit will be precisely this – the legitimization of the military aggression of the Russian Federation at the level of a decision made by the Constitutional Court of Georgia," Interpressnews quoted him as saying.

According to Bibilaashvili, in its lawsuit, the "Georgian Dream" "deliberately mixes political and legal responsibility". "On the one hand, it considers decisions made by specific officials as the responsibility of the party or parties, and on the other hand, it identifies its own party with the state, claiming that activities directed against the policies of their party are anti-state," he explained.

One of the leaders of the "Strong Georgia – Lelo" party, Badri Japaridze, explained to journalists after today's session of the Constitutional Court what is being accused of his political force. "It turns out that signing the charter proposed by Salome Zurabishvili and agreeing to cooperate with the party of Giorgi Gakharia during the local elections is a violation of the Constitution," Pirveli quoted him as saying.

Participants in the protests in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. Law enforcement has conducted harsh dispersals of protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and detained protesters. During the protests, thousands of people have faced administrative prosecution. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a reference titled "Main points about the persecution of protest participants in Georgia".
