Visioner, a military analyst posting on X, has estimated there were around 200,000 protesters at November 30th’s anti-government rally in Tbilisi.
In a separate post on X, they report the key outcomes of Georgia’s protests so far:
International response: the European Parliament called for new elections and the US suspended its strategic partnership with the Georgian government.
Disobedience: Georgian diplomats, public sector employees and ministry officials are resigning and distancing themselves from the government’s anti-Western shift.
Widespread support: Universities, schools, major banks and large companies are backing the protests and condemning the government’s pro-Russian direction.
Nationwide protests: Demonstrations have flared up in cities like Batumi, Kutaisi, Rustavi, Khashuri and Poti.
Police under pressure: Riot police are exhausted due to limited rotation and being deployed across multiple cities.
Breaking censorship: Protesters entered the government-affiliated public broadcaster, demanding and securing live airtime.
Protesters improving resistance tactics: For the first time, protesters held their ground overnight despite dispersal attempts.
