In Tbilisi, Georgia, anti-government protests erupted as demonstrators attempted to storm the presidential palace, leading to clashes with police who used water cannons and pepper spray. The unrest stems from allegations that the ruling Georgian Dream party stole last year's parliamentary elections, prompting the opposition to boycott local elections. Protesters, waving Georgian and EU flags, called for the arrest of senior government officials and demanded the release of political prisoners. Many participants wore black clothing and gas masks to avoid identification by surveillance cameras. The protests reflect widespread discontent with the government's perceived alignment with Russian interests and its crackdown on dissent. As tensions rise, the opposition continues to push for democratic reforms and accountability.
