Supporters of Georgia's European integration marched through Tbilisi.
On the 355th day of continuous protests, marchers in Tbilisi performed the Georgian national anthem at the Ilia Chavchavadze House Museum and placed Georgian and EU flags on the Saarbrücken Bridge.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on November 16, the 354th day of continuous protests, supporters of Georgia's European integration marched through the center of Tbilisi and returned to Rustaveli Avenue. Security forces accompanied the march along its entire route.
Security forces have prevented pro-European protesters from blocking traffic along Rustaveli Avenue since November 6, by forming a human wall of police officers along the roadway near the Georgian Parliament. Until November 6, 2025, demonstrators blocked traffic along Rustaveli Avenue for 343 consecutive days. Since security forces prevented protesters from entering the roadway, activists have been holding daily marches.
Citizens who gathered this evening near the Georgian Parliament building once again marched through Tbilisi. The daily march takes place along a new route each day, which is not announced in advance. According to the march organizers, they inform protesters of the route along the way so that security forces do not interfere with the action.
During the march, protesters chanted "Until the end, until the end!" and "Down with the Russian regime!" Some protesters remained outside the parliament building, continuing their protest there. The march, which covered several districts of Tbilisi, later returned to Rustaveli Avenue, Interpressnews reports.
According to Tbilisi Life, thousands of people participated in the march. "The demands remain unchanged: release dozens of arrested protesters, hold new, fair parliamentary elections, and return the country to the path of European integration," the channel notes.
During the march through Tbilisi, the marchers hung Georgian and EU flags on the Saarbrücken Bridge. Near the Ilia Chavchavadze House Museum, they performed the Georgian anthem, Publika notes.
On November 28, the anniversary of Georgian Dream's rejection of European integration, protesters are planning a mass rally. For ten days prior, starting today, they plan to speak in front of parliament to "amplify the public's voice" before the rally. Today's speech, the first in a series, was dedicated to the families of political prisoners.
Protesters in Georgia have been demanding new parliamentary elections and the release of political prisoners since November 28, 2024. Security forces have violently dispersed the protests, using tear gas and water cannons, and detained protesters. Over the course of the protests, more than a thousand people were subjected to administrative prosecution. The "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a report, "The Main Thing About the Persecution of Protesters in Georgia".
