Most opposition parties in Georgia have announced that they will boycott the local elections on October 4 and will organize protests against the pro-Russian regime led by the Georgian Dream party.

Just a week before the local elections in Georgia, most opposition parties have withdrawn, announcing protests against the pro-Russian regime. The ruling party, Georgian Dream, has intensified pressure on European diplomats, showing increased nervousness. There is discussion about the possible involvement of Russia in suppressing the protests, and Georgian authorities seem to be preparing for a violent response. There are also intentions to ban the main opposition party, highlighting the determination of "Georgian Dream" to maintain control.
