Protesters in Georgia are worried about Russia
They accuse their increasingly authoritarian government of ditching their European future.
For the past few nights, thousands of Georgians have been out protesting the government in Tbilisi. It鈥檚 because the ruling party, Georgian Dream, says it鈥檚 pausing negotiations to join the European Union until 2028. Many Georgians see the move as a betrayal of achieving the long-standing ambition of joining the EU, and some fear the country is inching closer to Russia鈥檚 influence.
The 成人论坛鈥檚 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鈥檝e decided to join this round of protests.
