Georgia police arrested several anti-government protesters on Sunday (2) after thousands of people demanding new parliamentary elections briefly block a highway around the capital Tbilisi.
A Reuters reporter saw three protesters being arrested, including Nika Melia, leader of the country’s largest opposition party, the coalition for change.
The former mayor of Tbilisi, Giorgi Uguulava, was also arrested, the local media said.
When the Goorgian Dreaming Government Party said it was suspending adhesion negotiations to the European Union by 2028, suddenly interrupting a longtime national goal.
The Georgian dream remained in power in a October election that, according to opposition parties, was fraudulent.
It states that the vote was fair and free.
The protests had diminished in recent weeks, but returned more strongly on Sunday (2), when thousands of protesters gathered outside a commercial complex in the far north of Tbilisi and briefly blocked the road that leads to the city.
