The participants of the protest at the Georgian parliament demanded to resume the course towards European integration, hold new parliamentary elections and release political prisoners.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, on July 29, on the 244th day of continuous protests, supporters of Georgia's European integration came to the parliament building and blocked traffic along Rustaveli Avenue, demanding new elections and the release of political prisoners.

Since November 28, 2024, protesters in Tbilisi have been holding daily rallies outside the Georgian Parliament and blocking traffic on Rustaveli Avenue, demanding the release of all arrested supporters of European integration and the appointment of new parliamentary elections.

On the 245th day of continuous protests, as every evening, traffic on Rustaveli Avenue in the center of Tbilisi near the Georgian Parliament was blocked. The protesters are speaking out against the decision of the Georgian Dream to stop Georgia's European integration. They demand the release of prisoners of conscience and new, fair, free parliamentary elections, Publika reported today.
