Nika Gvaramia, a leader of Georgia's opposition, was forcibly removed from his party's offices by police amid escalating protests against the ruling party's decision to halt EU membership talks. Protests erupted following a contested election, with over 330 arrests and accusations of police brutality. Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze condemned the protests, labeling them as 'violent actions' and 'liberal fascism'. Gvaramia warned that the protests were essential to prevent Georgia from becoming a 'puppet territory' under Russian influence. Teljes cikk (bbc.com europe)
