The President of Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili, commented on the clashes between protesters and police on Rustaveli Avenue in Tbilisi, emphasizing that the actions of the law enforcement triggered an escalation of the situation during the protest.
"We are once again witnessing brutal and disproportionate attacks on the Georgian people and the media, reminiscent of repressions in the Russian style. These actions are inexcusable! Those responsible for the use of force must be held accountable," - wrote her on social media platform X.
As reported by "Echo of the Caucasus," the situation outside the Georgian Parliament, where a large anti-government rally took place on November 29, escalated, leading to confrontations at the entrances to the parliament.
