Georgians Rally in Support of EU Membership Ahead of Crucial Decision

President Zourabichvili Joins Rally Amid Accusations of Pro-Russian Stance by Ruling Party

Hundreds of Georgians rallied in Tbilisi, expressing their support for the country's candidacy to join the European Union.
The EU is expected to decide on December 15 whether to grant Georgia candidate status for membership.
Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili attended the rally, emphasizing the unity of Georgians in their aspiration to join the EU.
Despite popular support for EU membership, the ruling Georgian Dream party has been accused of echoing Russian rhetoric and pursuing pro-Russian policies.
The European Commission recommended that Georgia receive EU candidate status on the condition that it aligns with EU foreign policy and pursues judicial reforms.
