Georgia is ablaze with protests nationwide, as a new generation rises to demand a pro-European future.

The ruling Georgian Dream party, led by oligarch Bidzina Ivanishvili , has violated the country’s constitutional obligation for integration with the European Union .

The government announced the suspension of its EU integration until 2028 , sparking an unprecedented two-week crackdown.

The U.S. has suspended its Strategic Partnership with Georgia , but it's not enough. Western inaction emboldens Ivanishvili’s regime and strengthens Moscow 's influence.

Will Cathcart is an American journalist, producer and war correspondent based in Tbilisi for 16 years .
