43 protesters arrested, with three police officers injured, two taken to hospital.

Police fired water cannon and deployed pepper spray and teargas to disperse protesters.

Outgoing pro-EU figurehead president Salome Zourabichvili accused the government of declaring war’ on its own people.

European parliament adopted non-binding resolution rejecting election results.

EU gave Georgia candidate status in December 2023 , but has said that a raft of laws passed by GD are authoritarian, Russian -inspired, and obstacles to EU membership.

Critics say the party, which is seen as dominated by its billionaire founder, Bidzina Ivanishvili , is steering Georgia back towards Moscow , from which Georgia gained independence in 1991 .
