Opposition parties refuse to recognize the election results, claiming massive falsifications. The head of the Central Election Commission of Georgia signed the final protocol of the parliamentary elections.
Protests are taking place in front of the Central Election Commission building. Law enforcement officers attempted to push the rally participants off the road and onto the sidewalk, which caused the confrontation between citizens and the police to escalate.
