Thousands of demonstrators in the Georgian capital converged on parliament again on Tuesday. They are venting outrage against the governing party’s decision to suspend negotiations on joining the European Union.

For the second evening in a row, large crowds of demonstrators gathered in Georgia to protest the government's decision to halt talks toward joining the European Union. Tens of thousands gathered in the capital Tbilisi and other observers confirmed that there were significantly more demonstrators on the streets than on Thursday evening.

By suspending talks with the E.U., the party was decisively pivoting to Russia and away from its European aspirations — one of the few goals most Georgians agree on.
