Previously, Washington has criticized the use of "excessive force" against demonstrators. However, Kobakhidze maintained that the Georgian police had "acted at a higher standard than the American and European ones and successfully protected the state from another attempt to violate the constitutional order."

The Black Sea nation has been rocked by turmoil after Georgia's ruling Georgian Dream party announced on Nov. 28 that it would suspend EU accession talks until 2028. However, Kobakhidze maintains that the country was "committed to European integration... and we are continuing on our path to the European dream".

Tens of thousands of demonstrators have faced off against police for four consecutive nights, with authorities using water cannons, tear gas, and rubber bullets to disperse crowds, resulting in over 150 arrests and numerous injuries on both sides.

The crisis has deepened following contested October 26 parliamentary elections, which opposition groups and international observers claim were marked by significant irregularities and voter intimidation.

Several high-ranking diplomats, including ambassadors to the United States, Netherlands, Bulgaria, and Lithuania, have resigned in protest of the government's decision to freeze EU talks.

The United States has suspended its Strategic Partnership with Georgia, while the European Union has called for an investigation into the October elections and warned of direct consequences for the government's actions.

President Salome Zurabishvili has joined protesters, refused to step down when her term expires, and established a national council of opposition parties to ensure stability.

The ruling party is deliberately steering Georgia away from its European path and toward Russia's sphere of influence. The government's actions, including passing Russian-style laws targeting NGOs and LGBTQ+ rights, represent democratic backsliding and betray the will of 80% of Georgians who support EU membership.

Georgia Erupts in Protests as Government Halts EU Talks

The government's decision protects Georgia's sovereignty against foreign interference and blackmail. The EU has been using accession talks and funding as tools to pressure Georgia into implementing unacceptable policies that would infringe on national dignity, while opposition groups are acting on foreign orders to destabilize the country.
