Georgia Protests Evoke Memories of Ukraine’s Maidan Movement

Protesters in Tbilisi hold signs outside parliament, echoing the 2013 Maidan movement in Ukraine. However, unlike their Ukrainian counterparts, Georgian authorities show no signs of compromise. Nana Dvalishvili, a 55-year-old real estate agent, has joined thousands of protesters demanding change.

The protest highlights concerns over Georgia’s democratic transition. Dvalishvili attributes the government’s reluctance to engage with opposition to a pattern of past experiences: “It happens all the time.” She fears force and rallies have become a recurring cycle in her country’s history.
