It’s because the the ruling party, Georgian Dream, says it’s pausing negotiations to join the European Union until 2028. Many Georgians see the move as betrayal of achieving the long-standing ambition of joining the EU, and some fear the country is inching closer to Russia’s influence.

The BBC’s Rayhan Demytrie takes us through the political situation in the country and explains why many Georgians are unhappy.

We also hear from two women, Nutsa and Nini, about why they’ve decided to join this round of protests.
