A march under the slogan "Georgia chooses the European Union" was held in Tbilisi

Representatives of the opposition and civil society held a march in Tbilisi under the slogan "Georgia chooses the European Union". The participants spoke in favor of the country's European integration and accused the current authorities, represented by the ruling Georgian Dream party, of changing their foreign policy course and hindering further movement towards the EU.

President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili arrived at Freedom Square. She expressed confidence that citizens would vote "for the European future of the country" in the parliamentary elections. Zurabishvili addressed the presidents of Moldova and Ukraine, Maia Sandu and Vladimir Zelensky, from the podium. She wished Sandu victory in the ongoing presidential elections.

"We will join the European Union together," she reassured the leaders of Moldova and Ukraine.

The parliamentary elections in Georgia will be held on October 26. Georgian Dream, which has been accused of being pro-Russian, recently hung campaign posters on the streets of Tbilisi comparing destroyed Ukrainian cities with Georgia's developing infrastructure under the slogan "choose peace."
