About 200 employees of the military hospital in Gori were dismissed. According to them, this happened after many of them signed a petition in support of Georgia's European integration.

Large-scale layoffs began at the military hospital in Gori, about 200 people were left without work, the rehabilitation department was completely closed, the Tbilisi Life telegram channel wrote on August 17.

The dismissed hospital employees declared political persecution, since many of them had previously signed a petition in support of Article 78 of the Constitution of Georgia, which stipulates the country's integration into the European Union and NATO. They plan to file lawsuits.

"Caucasian Knot" also wrote that officials from several government agencies have submitted resignations due to disagreement with the policies of the "Georgian Dream", according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Resignations of Dissenters: Protest of Georgian Officials".

Since November 28, 2024, protesters in Tbilisi have been holding daily rallies outside the Georgian Parliament and blocking traffic on Rustaveli Avenue, demanding the release of all arrested supporters of European integration and the appointment of new parliamentary elections.

The Caucasian Knot collected materials about the parliamentary elections and the protests that followed the elections on the page "Elections in Georgia-2024".
