On Sunday, Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili addressed thousands of pro-European supporters at a significant rally in the capital, Tbilisi. The demonstration comes as the country approaches a critical parliamentary election that could redefine its geopolitics.
Zourabichvili, despite her ceremonial role, has taken a strong stance against the ruling Georgian Dream party, urging citizens to vote for pro-Western groups. The campaign has intensified amid heated debates over the country's future orientation towards Europe or Russia.
With EU and Georgian flags waving, demonstrators filled Freedom Square, expressing their desire for a European future. Tensions remain high as opinion polls show the Georgian Dream party retains popularity but faces growing opposition due to its alleged pro-Russian policies.
