Days of protests have rocked Georgia following the government’s controversial decision to delay the former Soviet country’s bid to join the European Union. Tensions have been brewing for months in the South Caucasus nation of 3.7 million people, where critics accuse the ruling Georgian Dream party of following increasingly authoritarian, pro-Russia policies in a turn away from the West that has tempered hopes for Georgia’s long-promised path to EU membership. CNN’s Lynda Kinkade and Sebastian Shukla report. #CNN #News

  1. And now the same is happening in the USA. To anyone Georgian, continue to fight for what you want and deserve. And to Americans, the same is for us. So realize what trump is doing and speak out, resist, or at least know whats going on. (supposedly "making america great again", so much for that.)

  2. they want real freedom, not the type of freedom that if negatively spoken about freedom over certain activities will get them killed. like journalists in Russia and since the Ukraine war started in 2022. Almost to all independent media have been blocked/banned and declared foreign agents or undesirable according to RSF. the 3 countries fighting for freedom aren't a part of NATO just like Ukraine and their leaders are scared of joining Nato when they should have when the war started in Ukraine at Russia's lowest. they want what NATO has in terms of Individuality in their own country to govern with the safety as a pack being the 2nd strongest military in the world and the courage to even be #1. Russia thinks it controls those countries with USSR but in fact separated in 1991 with a 99.5 percent vote and dissolved by subject of international law to become Sovereign countries due to the lack of ethnic. causing many of the USSR states to separate during those time periods in an agreement made by the 3 founders in Ukraine/Russia/Belarus. the same way UK desolved with Scotland, whales and north Ireland while remaining part of UK. on the other hand the Dissolved Agreement by Russia, Ukraine and Belarus was to make the countries separated Sovereign. wars waged ever since Putin was elected in Office in 2000 due to economic problems/their Decline the country faced after Russia Dissolved in 1991 with the Declaration № 142-Н, Over extension of the military and cold war with his failed attempts to joint countries to rejoin the USSR and use its economics of those sovereign countries. in Fact Russia isn't a Poor country anymore with it's oils since mid 1900s after the war with USA investment (shell) and BP (British petroleum) that allowed it a long with Western technologies and Fast foods. those countries utilized the U.S. policy of containment that was enacted to stop communist countries from expanding during the cold war. the cold war was a rivalry between Russia and USA which never directly fought ever since WW2. Russia was 2 timing USA ever since the end of WW2 months after USA created the Atomic bomb 2 Russian spies Klaus Fuchs and Theodore A. Hall provided the Soviets with detailed information about the American atomic bomb in an espionage with Russia wanting to always be 1 or the other USA and Russia opposing each other in Communism and Democracy. Korea separating into S. Korea and N. Korea.

  3. More BS coverage. Have you even been to Georgia? FAXT CHECKS:
    – The election was deemed legit by international observers. There were NO election protests until the announced delay of joining EU.
    – The Georgia Dream (GD) party is NOT pro-Russian. Now, in their 3rd term, they haven't even re-opened diplomatic relations w/Russia! They are pro-Nuetrality (which US/NATO opposes).
    – Approx 30% of the protesters have been found not to be Georgian. The vast majority are teens/20's
    – GD was democratically elected 3 times, and had completed EVERY action required to join EU, until this past year, when they refused to open a new proxy war front w/Russia, or repeal a simple law (I've read it), that requires NGOs that receive more than 20% of their $$ from foreign entities, to disclose $$ sources.

  4. Polls show what??? If you were a reporter worth your salt, you might also who conducted these polls, who paid for these polls, and who is behind the narrative??? If you want to be a mouthpeice for the empire, at least admit, if you want to be a real reporter… start asking real questions.

  5. The Georgian People are free to decide for themselves, and they have decided. It is the Neocons in DC and NATO that want who they, not the majority of Georgian's, to be the president. Don't be fooled by the continuous Necon Trash that is being spread by our mainstream news.

  6. I call bullshit, Georgia isn't even in europe, have the idiots at CNN not taken a geography class? Oh wait, CNN is run by spooks, sorry are we Americans really that stupid? Also suspend elections? Sounds like US Democratic-party style democracy to me. Fireworks? This is obviously a CIA run operation in Georgia.

  7. It's hilarious how many people in the US can't point to Georgia on a map but have all kinds of hot takes and are soooo sure they know what's going on.

    This is Maidan pt 2. This is a color revolution. This isn't coming from Georgians – it's coming from the outside. There's also numerous people (not on cnn) pointing out that HUGE swaths of the crowd of protestors aren't even Georgian – their foreigners.

    I'm sure 99% of people reading this will still fall for the nonsense. You are watching theater. You shouldn't be suprised by now that CNN is showing you half the story.

  8. the second they join EU under United Nations global migrant compact instant flooding of the 3rd world until native population are the minority just as is happening in every western nations including USCanada too, i do not believe that the majority would vote for that at all!

  9. FREEDOM TO GEORGIAAAA ! FREEEDOOOM TO GEORGIAAAA TO HAVE A RIGHT TO PROTEST AGAINST STUPIIIIIIID Russia !!!!!! INTELLIGENT COUNTRY GEORGIA !!! INTELLIGENT PPL GEORGIANS ! TURTURED MILLION TIMES ! RUSSIAN STUPID INTERNET agents ARE EVERYWHERE AND THEY ARE HONESTLY SO STUPID ! DO NOT TRUST to "A" STUUUUPIIIIID Russia AND Russians (Fuuu)!

THEY ARE BEATING AND ARRESTING FOR THE LIFE TIME PRISON NOW ! THERE ARE DEAD PPL AND ITS NOT PUBLISHED ! FREEEEDOM TO BRAVE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE GEORGIANS !

  10. Can anyone explain why exactly the Georgian government decide to postpone or pause the country's move in to the EU? That's something none of these reports are talking about. Was it due to Russian pressure? If so where is the proof? If not Russian pressure, then why?

  11. They need to join the EU to be safe from Russia in the long-term. Is this delay for 4 years by the conservative party a ploy to appease Trump? I find the timing of this suspect.

  12. Its like Kiev 2014 all over again, this looks totally staged, the rioters don't look desperate, but well fed and well dressed. CIA colour revolution, if the military industrial media want you to see in you know its their work. Why would they instigate unrest then not show their work in high definition well shot footage, in genuine unrest the reporters and footage are taken from a safe vantage point, which never produces Hollywood style production

  13. WHEN EVER YOU GUYS SAY "HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW" BIG PROPAGANDA .
    IT MEANS HERES HOW WE WANT YOU TOO SEE AND PERCEIVE THIS SITUATION. MANIPULATATION AND PROPAGANDA

  14. Ben Franklin would have said that no parliament is a legitimate one, until it needs to be. At least that's what I think. I think Ben and I, would have gotten along great as well.
