Any subsequent protest action in Georgia will be a continuation of yesterday's attempt to overthrow the government, and appropriate measures will be taken. This was reported on October 5 by the Sputnik Georgia Telegram channel, citing a statement from the country's Interior Ministry.

"Based on yesterday's events, we have reason to believe that any subsequent gatherings are a continuation of yesterday's attempt to overthrow the government, and we will take appropriate measures to prevent threats to public order and security," the statement said.

The ministry also called on citizens to refrain from such actions.

The ruling Georgian Dream party, after processing 100% of the protocols, won the elections of mayors and deputies of local authorities in all municipalities. She won more than 81.6% of the votes nationwide. More than 1.1 million voters voted for her.

The protests against the ruling party began on October 4 against the backdrop of the country's parliamentary elections. Izvestia correspondent Giorgi Jabishvili, who covered the protesters' march, noted that not only Georgian national flags could be seen in the crowd, but also American flags.

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze accused foreign intelligence agencies of organizing the rallies and promised to give a strict response to all those involved. According to him, Georgia is not a country where foreign intelligence agencies can be given the opportunity to overthrow the government. On October 5, Mamuka Pipia, International Secretary of the Solidarity for Peace party, also stressed the influence of Western agents on the protests in Georgia. He told Izvestia that, in his opinion, the United Kingdom, in particular, is behind this.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
