For the 16th consecutive day, thousands of pro-EU protesters took to the streets of Georgia's capital, Tbilisi, on the eve of an indirect presidential election. Demonstrators marched through multiple locations across the city before gathering outside parliament in the evening. Amid the unrest, some Tbilisi residents urged restraint, calling on both the government and opposition to "avoid crossing lines" as tensions escalate. On Saturday, an electoral college dominated by the ruling party is expected to confirm a far-right loyalist as Georgia’s president, further fueling a constitutional crisis and the ongoing wave of pro-EU protests.
