Georgian Dream admits that the protests will stop in the spring

The protests in Georgia may finally come to an end this spring. Shota Khabareli, a deputy of the ruling Georgian Dream party, told Izvestia.

"There are still protests, but not as it was before. Truth is winning, there is not so much support anymore. Soon they will subside. I don't rule out, by spring," he said.

The unrest that started after the parliamentary elections is already in its fourth month in Georgia.

Since late November last year, opposition protests have been going on in Georgia against the results of the elections held in the country, which were won by the Georgian Dream party. Among others, former President Salome Zurabishvili and three opposition political forces - United National Movement, Coalition for Change and Strong Georgia - refused to recognize them.

The Georgian presidential election was held on December 14, and the Georgian Dream party candidate Mikhail Kavelashvili won. Afterwards, Zurabishvili refused to leave her post and threatened to "overthrow the regime." On December 29, Kavelashvili was inaugurated.

Later, on January 9, 2025, Zurabishvili said that she will work in the new office and will continue to perform "the functions of the president" in it. She noted that the country is going through a deep crisis and repeated parliamentary elections should be held to get out of it. On January 27, it became known about new anti-government protests in major Georgian cities.
