A group of individuals attacked participants of a strike on Dolidze Street in Tbilisi, sparking outrage and raising concerns over the safety of demonstrators. Footage circulating online shows several people physically assaulting a protester, while reports indicate that eggs were also thrown at protesters from a nearby residential building.
The violence occurred during a three-hour nationwide strike organized under the slogan “Georgia is on strike!”.

Many facilities closed their doors, with employees taking to the streets to express their discontent.
