After opera singer Paata Burchaladze announced a declaration that power in Georgia belongs to the people, clashes began between protesters and law enforcement near the presidential palace. Law enforcement used special means, protesters used firecrackers. Six demonstrators and 21 law enforcement officers were hospitalized, another 30 people received medical assistance on the spot. The police initiated a criminal case in connection with calls to overthrow the government, attacks on police officers, and the storming of the palace. In early May, the Tbilisi City Court sentenced the organizers and participants of the protest action that took place on October 4, 2025, the day of the municipal elections, which ended with an attempt to storm the presidential palace, to long terms of imprisonment.
