Protesters Fire Pyrotechnics (Large Fireworks) at Parliament Building
As unrest in Tbilisi, Georgia, enters its eighth consecutive day, tensions have reignited with protesters firing large pyrotechnics at the Parliament building, adding a dramatic escalation to what had been a relatively peaceful previous night.
Day 8: Renewed Tensions and Aggression
Patrick Lancaster reports from the ground in Tbilisi, where protesters once again gathered in front of the Parliament building, a now-familiar scene during the last week. While the previous evening had been marked by relative calm, with no major clashes reported, tonight's events took a more aggressive turn.
Protesters, many of them youngβbetween the ages of 15 and 25βgathered in significant numbers. Lancaster estimated the crowd at its peak on Day 7 to be around 40,000-50,000 strong. While slightly larger, tonight's gathering is substantial.
Protest Escalation: Pyrotechnics and Rocks
The demonstration shifted tone as protesters began firing pyrotechnics, including large fireworks, directly at the Parliament building. Additional actions included banging on the building's entrance with rocks and fists, with some younger attendees throwing stones at the police stationed nearby.
Earlier in the day, the police presence increased on both sides of the Parliament, anticipating potential unrest. Riot police were observed taking strategic positions, as has been routine during the past week, often using water cannons to maintain order in prior nights.
Backdrop to the Unrest
The protests began following an announcement by the ruling Georgian Dream Party to pause EU accession talks until 2028. The decision, viewed by many as a step away from Georgiaβs European aspirations, ignited opposition parties and citizens to organize demonstrations.
Russian officials have also commented on the situation, with Dmitry Medvedev labeling the unrest as a "revolution destined to fail," while Maria Zakharova emphasized Moscowβs interest in fostering relations with Tbilisi. These statements highlight the international dimensions of the current turmoil.
Signs of Division and Unity
Lancasterβs on-the-ground reporting captures not only the chaos but also glimpses of peaceful dissent. He encountered a lone man voicing opposition to the protesters, yet his dissent was met without violenceβa notable shift in tone from previous nights of intense clashes. Georgian, EU, and Ukrainian flags are frequently seen among the crowd.
Looking Ahead
As Day 8 unfolds, it remains unclear how the protests will evolve. The deployment of pyrotechnics and other acts of defiance indicate a continued escalation, while the presence of riot police suggests the state is prepared for further confrontation.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the Crimean Bridge for the first time with the newest Polish Gaviya BEKs, which were actively tested in mid-November.
According to Mash, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed surface drones from helicopters and high-speed Raptor boats. On December 6 at 4:50 a.m., five unmanned boats were recorded in the Black Sea waters, which were moving from Odessa, and at 5:17 a.m., they had already blocked traffic on the Crimean Bridge.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces used several types of BEKs at once: fast reconnaissance drones, cover drones with machine guns and thermal imagers, and attack drones - those equipped with a warhead. Among them are the Magura-V5 and Sea Baby unmanned boats. At least 10 units were supposed to reach the Crimean Bridge.
Around 9 a.m., the Black Sea Fleet's aviation carried out objective monitoring of the Black Sea waters in the area of the Crimean Bridge and the Kerch ports. Using the drone debris, it was determined that they belonged to the newest Polish submersible autonomous system "Gavia", developed by Enamor under license from the American Teledyne Technologies. The devices were delivered to Ukraine almost immediately after testing in Gdynia on November 18.
