Georgia’s economy expanded 9.4% in 2024, accelerating from a 7.8% growth in 2023.

Protestors are very upset with such high economic growth. They demand zero growth and to be ruled by unelected technocrats thousands of miles away.

Why was she allowed into the country? She's not even a Georgian. She's a Frenchwoman. Her goal is obviously to attempt to overthrow the legally-elected government.

🇬🇪 Attempted “Maidan” in Tbilisi Thwarted, Georgian Authorities Say

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced that opposition forces tried to stage a “Maidan-style” coup in Tbilisi on election day — but the attempt failed.

“Regarding yesterday’s events — an attempt to overthrow the government — this attempt has failed. Over the past four years, we’ve already seen the fifth such attempt to organize a ‘Maidan’ in our country,” Kobakhidze stated.

🔶Weapons Seized, Sabotage Prevented

The State Security Service of Georgia reported the discovery of a large cache of weapons and explosives intended for use in coordinated sabotage operations on October 4.

Authorities said the plan included armed attacks in Tbilisi, including an attempt to seize the president’s residence.

Security forces neutralized those responsible before they could deliver the weapons to central Tbilisi.

🔶Ukrainian Link

Investigators revealed that the seized arms were purchased under orders from a Georgian representative connected to one of the military formations operating in Ukraine — highlighting the growing involvement of foreign-linked networks in destabilization efforts inside Georgia.

Tbilisi’s leadership has repeatedly accused foreign-backed opposition groups of trying to replicate Ukraine’s 2014 Maidan scenario, warning that Georgia will not allow another externally orchestrated coup.

Western-backed opposition has attempted five coups in four years - Georgian PM - yesterday

Politicians with no public support are focused on destabilizing the country, Irakli Kobakhidze claims.

Georgia's foreign-backed radical opposition has repeatedly failed to win elections and has instead turned to attempts to overthrow the government, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said following renewed unrest in Tbilisi.

Following municipal elections in which Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze of the ruling Georgian Dream party was re-elected, protesters sought to breach the presidential residence in the nation's capital on Saturday night, leading to violent clashes with police.

Speaking on national television on Monday, Kobakhidze claimed that the radical opposition had "lost ten elections and staged five coup attempts in just four years," describing its actions as deliberate sabotage.

According to Kobakhidze, around 500 mostly young activists rotate through street rallies orchestrated by opposition politicians who cannot gain real support through elections and instead seek to "create permanent problems for the country."

"Some 50 or 100 people blocking the streets are harassing four million citizens who want peace, progress, and development," he said, adding that law enforcement would intensify efforts to identify and prosecute those engaged in political violence.

The prime minister accused the opposition's leaders, including Georgia's former President Salome Zourabichvili, of being "foreign agents made from the same mold." He claimed that Zourabichvili, who refused to step down after her term expired last December, planned to seize the presidential office with the help of rioters but "fled like a rat when the ship began to sink."

Opposition parties have accused the government of election fraud and demanded fresh polls through protests backed by Western countries, which in turn have accused Tbilisi of authoritarian drift.

Georgian officials have dismissed the allegations as politically motivated attacks against the country's conservative policies and new laws requiring transparency for foreign-funded political groups.
