Thousands of Georgians rally outside the parliament, demanding the government's resignation over its failure to secure the country's EU candidacy
The Black Sea nation has been in the grip of mass protests since EU leaders decided in late June to defer Tbilisi's application for membership, pending sweeping political reforms.
"Our demonstration is focused on the historic goal of Georgia's European integration," one of the rally organisers, prominent writer and civil activist Lasha Bugadze told the crowd. The Black Sea nation has been in the grip of mass protests since EU leaders decided in late June to defer Tbilisi's application for membership, pending sweeping political reforms.
On June 23, EU leaders granted formal candidate status to Kiev and Chisinau but said Tbilisi could only become an official candidate once outstanding issues were addressed. The deferral of Georgia's candidacy became a foregone conclusion after the European Commission –– the EU's executive arm –– said on June 20 that Tbilisi must implement a number of reforms by the end of 2022 before it was put on a formal membership path.The EU conditions include ending political polarisation, improving freedom of the press and the courts, electoral reforms and "de-oligarchisation".
