In a show of defiance against the newly elected President in Georgia, pro-EU protesters flooded the streets on Saturday (14 Dec. 2024) in a display of discontent.
The protest was sparked by the recent electoral college results, which were seen as being heavily influenced by the ruling party. Many Georgians believe that the election process was marred by irregularities and vote tampering, leading to the victory of a President they do not support.
Chanting slogans and waving signs, the protesters voiced their frustration with the current political situation and their desire for change. The demonstration was peaceful but it was clear that the people’s discontent was palpable.
Despite the challenging political climate, the protesters remained committed to their cause, calling for transparency in future elections and demanding accountability from their leaders.
The protest serves as a stark reminder of the deep political divisions within Georgia and the ongoing struggle for democracy and fair representation. As the country continues to navigate its political landscape, it remains to be seen how this dissent will influence future developments.

Is anchor from Bavaria or Westfalia?
With him, no BLM in Georgia
It's funny. Back in 2001 when Trump and his supporters where claiming that the election of Joe Biden was illegimate, all the big media was siding with the newly elected president and accused Trump of trying to stage a coup.
But this time, in Georgia, the media seems to side with old president?
👏👏👏🎊✌️👍
Peaceful protests Never work with authoritarian regimes
Yes DW, democratic results of elections don't matter, what matters is the street demonstration by a bunch of confused youngsters and the French national Salomy's refusal to step down as the Georgia's constitution demands. Long live to the Western colour revolutions, right?
3.59 DW is making a disservice to its viewers by saying “claim”, “alleged” when there are lots of videos available of officials getting pushed and votes getting shoved into the boxes. Could easily show the blatant election fraud
Georgia and Russia don't even have diplomatic relations. And this guy's only fault for being called "pro-Russian" is that he said he wants the war to end and doesn't want Romanians to be used as proxy cannon fodder like the Ukrainians did. Really DW….do some actual reporting.
-2C is the reason for the small crowd? -2C in Georgia? LOL!!! Nice cope.
What is the rest of the world suppose to make of this?? How is this different from Trump in 2020 refusing to acknowledgement the election result in 2020. The only difference I see is the newly elected president of Georgia is supposedly pro-Russian. For sure the US should stay out of this!
GEORGIAN ARE LIKE DICTATOR STALIN WHO IS GEORGIAN AND HE LAW AND DEMOCRACY A D THE PROTEST IN GEORGIAN REMINDS ME DICTATOR STALIN A GEORGIAN WHO HATES ANY OPPONENTS TILL HE GETS HIS WAY AND WILL USED FORCE TO GET IT 😅😅😅
Do the bots still want to tell us nothing fishy is going on and the GD plans to stick to its word and continue Georgia's path to EU??
The reporters mouth didn’t even match his words😂
if they want to take down the government why dont they just stop paying taxes?
there are not thousands of people a few hundred at most. use AI or are you too lazy.
If the West does not like the result, the West simply calls it dishonest. This is the democracy of the West.
Speaking of getting dragged back into Russia´s hemisphere of control..
New boss same as the old boss. Putin will punk u if your step out of line
This report really doesn't do the situation justice. For two weeks the streets have been choke full of people protesting the parliamentary rule. Hundreds have been randomly detained and beaten, hunted in the streets after protests and even at their homes. Many of the opposition figures have been arrested on token charges. The parliamentary rule has been employing a massive police force and water cannons to quell the protests, and even thug gangs, dubbed titushky, have been attacking, beating and even abducting participants with full impunity or even cooperation from the police.
The "new president" was not chosen in a democratic election. It was unilaterally elected by the Georgian Dream PMs in a closed doors ceremony in which he was the only candidate, while the opposition PMs refused to participate. This is a recent change the majority GD politicians implemented and the first "election" of its kind in modern Georgia. Other recent changes includes prohibiting the sale and possession of material associated with the protests, like fireworks and gas masks. Even through that, the public's participation in the protests has only grown, many economic sectors have joined the cause in protest, from the usual suspects like academia and arts, to surprises like hotels, restaurants and even insurance . The general sentiment against the current rule seems to span all sectors of the population.
This choose between russia and the west thing will devide europe further.
Russia in agony.. they even refuse to realize that Georgia is a totally different case, than Belarus.
I think this is great! If they allow him to become president, this should be a sign for all western nations to stop using baby gloves with conservatives. If they hate liberal policies and the west so much, Russia and Georgia will gladly welcome them! 😃
THAT'S POLITICS😢WORLD WIDE AND IT'S ABOUT ACCEPT DEFEAT 😂AND UNITE FOR SAKE OF THE COUNTRY BUT THE OPPONENTS WILL USE ANY EXCUSES FOR THEY KNOW THEY GOT THE SUPPORT OF THEIR MASTER IN EUROPE AND IT'S THE UKRAINE MAIDAN REPEAT😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂 if you're not for the puppets in the EU then you're illegitimate 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The actors giving interviews are simply ridicoulous
They really think that they are Europeans😂.
At least he’s not a foreigner who used to work as a diplomat for another country. Something tells an attempt to orchestrate a coup in Georgia and turn it into Ukraine 2.0 is not going to pass.
Did the parliament elect the President?
If Georgia, could be included in the EU, why not Iran, turkey, pakistan and Indonesia. Georgia is not even in the European continent.
EU is becoming the new USSR. Nations lost, behemouth created
There is no crisis. We elected! Fenita la comedia😂😂😂😂
DAMBROSIO BAND NO CHANCE LEFT LIMA PERU WORLD ALBUM
He looks the part! Stay strong Georgia!
The Georgian government just held an "Election:… where only THEY got to vote and pick a leader. Uh-oh. That is not an election. It's an assignment, or an appointment, not an election. Single party rule at its best.
