Thursday, November 28, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidzé announced the freezing of the European Union integration process. Since then, thousands of Georgians have demonstrated every day in the streets of Tbilisi and provincial towns against the government’s pro-Russian policy. This protest is harshly repressed by the authorities, 75% of the more than 400 people arrested in the last two weeks have been beaten up by the police. The protest movement is holding together thanks to a strong pro-Western aspiration, but also by its desire to remain decentralized, without a single direction, which is its strength as well as its weakness. A report from our correspondent in Tbilisi.
