More than 200 people have been detained after four nights of protests in the Georgian capital following the government's decision to suspend negotiations to join the European Union after the bloc lambasted the country's parliamentary election.
Zourabichvili holds a largely ceremonial role and is due to step down at the end of the year. She has indicated she will remain in her post until another president is chosen by a "legtimate" parliament. "All the signs are of an attempt to carry out an Orange Revolution," he said, referring to protests following a disputed election in Ukraine over the winter of 2004-05 which later saw a pro-western leader come to power.
The government's announcement to suspend the EU membership process came hours after the European Parliament adopted a resolution criticizing October's election in Georgia as neither free nor fair. The president of the European Council, Antonio Costa, and foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas spoke to President Zourabichvili Sunday to condemn the violence against protesters and to note that "the actions of the government run counter to the will of the people," Costa wrote on X.
Speaking to The Associated Press on Saturday, Zourabichvili said that her country was becoming a "quasi-Russian" state and that Georgian Dream controlled the major institutions.
