Watch: Protesters attempt to storm Georgia's presidential palace
In Georgia, anti-government protesters tried to storm the presidential palace in Tbilisi, prompting police to use tear gas and water cannon to disperse the crowd. The protests stem from accusations against the ruling Georgian Dream party of being pro-Russian and authoritarian, leading opposition figures to call for a "peaceful revolution." Tensions escalated after the party won an election criticized as fraudulent, prompting ongoing protests by the pro-Western opposition. Additionally, Georgia's EU accession talks were abruptly halted by Georgian Dream, further heightening unrest.
