“We have decided not to put the question of membership of the European Union on the agenda before the end of 2028.” This announcement by the Georgian Prime Minister, Irakli Kobakhidze, led to demonstrations in Georgia. His party, Georgian Dream, in power since 2012, won the legislative elections last October. But this victory is rejected by part of the population, who accuse the government of authoritarian drift and treason. In Tbilisi, the president of the country, Salomé Zourabichvili, breaking with the re-elected party, also demonstrated and denounced a “repression”. Police arrested 43 people, and 32 officers were injured according to the interior ministry.
