Georgia's recent parliamentary elections in October, marked by accusations of Kremlin interference, led to protests and demands for new elections from dissatisfied citizens.
Opposition supporters claim the elections were marred by electoral fraud and manipulation, pointing to incidents of bribery, double voting, and violence as evidence.
President Salome Zourabichvili criticized the legitimacy of the October elections, stating that Georgia has succumbed to pressure from Moscow aiming to obstruct its EU aspirations.
The EU's indefinite suspension of Georgia's membership application was triggered by controversial legislation seen as echoing repressive Russian laws targeting foreign-funded organizations.
