Is this the end of large-scale protests against the election results in Georgia for now? Following another 24-hour wave of demonstrations starting Sunday and culminating in an overnight sit-in outside the Georgian parliament—attended by a crowd seemingly smaller than the opposition had hoped—an air of despair pervades comments and reports. As Marika Mikiashvili, a member of the opposition party Droa, put it in a tweet: “Georgia is tired, confused, angry, and deeply humiliated.”
Still, she continues to express hope that this moment will spark ongoing resistance against the self-proclaimed government, both at home and abroad.
Protesters gathered in front of the Georgian parliament on Tbilisi’s Rustaveli Avenue in May of this year, demonstrating against the so-called „Russian Law.“
