The representatives of the Western countries never condemned the actions of the protesters on the streets of Tbilisi, on the contrary, their statements encouraged them to riot. Kakha Kaladze, the general secretary of the ruling "Georgian Dream - Democratic Georgia" party and the mayor of Tbilisi, told journalists about this. "We saw how they (protesters) threw Molotov cocktails and stones at the police and injured them.
I don't remember them (Western representatives) making any statement condemning such actions. On the contrary, they have encouraged and contributed to further polarization, pitting representatives of society against each other and implementing a revolutionary scenario in the country.
Of course, these processes took place with their direct participation," Kaladze said. Mass protests erupted in Georgia in late November and early December 2024, after Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced his decision to suspend the start of EU membership negotiations.
Demonstrations turned into daily clashes between protesters and security forces. Special police used gas and water cannons to disperse the protesters.
