The Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova, Dorin Recean, delivered a strong message of support to the people of Georgia, who are experiencing a period of intense pro-European protests. “Over the past five days, we have witnessed the unwavering commitment of Georgians to democracy and European aspirations. Moldova stands with the Georgian people, supporting their right to peaceful assemblies and a democratic future aligned with EU values,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The situation in Georgia escalated after the government suspended negotiations for EU membership until 2028, sparking massive protests in Tbilisi and other cities. Hundreds of thousands gathered in front of the Parliament, demanding early elections and a return to the path of European integration. The demonstrations were marked by violent clashes between protesters and law enforcement, who used water cannons and tear gas to disperse the crowds.
