Massive protests in Georgia / Tens of thousands of people attack the

Georgian protesters tried to storm the presidential palace in Tbilisi today but were repelled by police using water cannons and pepper spray, after the main opposition blocs boycotted local elections.

Tens of thousands of pro-Western opposition supporters gathered in the capital Tbilisi to protest against the policies of the ruling 'Georgian Dream' party, which they accuse of trying to pull the country into Russia's orbit.

They carried national flags and banners supporting membership in the European Union, a goal sanctioned in the constitution.

The rallies have continued despite the government introducing laws targeting demonstrators, human rights groups, non-governmental organizations and independent media. Some tried to force their way into the presidential palace in central Tbilisi, breaking down the gate before being driven away by riot police.

Police said the rally violated laws regulating public gatherings and protests./CNA
