Protests in Georgia Target Billionaire Ivanishvili

In Tbilisi, Georgia, ongoing protests target Bidzina Ivanishvili, the country’s wealthiest and most influential person, due to perceived pro-Russian policies. Demonstrators accuse Ivanishvili of bringing Russian influence to Georgia, despite his not holding an official government position.

Ivanishvili, a billionaire with a vast fortune from ventures in post-Soviet Russia, leads the Georgian Dream party. Critics claim he maintains close ties with the Kremlin and is steering Georgia away from its European aspirations.

Protests intensified after Georgia’s government announced a pause in EU accession talks, sparking fears of a shift towards Russia.
