The decision by the Georgian Dream to suspend negotiations with the European Union until 2028 has sparked protests among public sector employees. Otar Berdzenishvili, the Ambassador of Georgia to Bulgaria, resigned, stating, "No violence against the expression of peaceful demonstrators! Full solidarity," on Platform X.

The ruling party's decision has also been protested by Georgia’s Ambassador to South Korea, Tarash Papasqua, who expressed on his personal Facebook page that "Georgia needs more NATO and more EU than ever before":

"Today, as Russia continues to occupy 20% of our country, wages a devastating war against Ukraine, and threatens global security... we need more Europe and more NATO than ever before. We need more solidarity and support from the free world!"

Georgia's Ambassador to the Czech Republic, Tea Maisuradze, has joined the protest, asserting, "I remain committed to the process of Georgia's integration into European and Euro-Atlantic structures; there is no alternative to this for the interests of our country. For many years, my fellow diplomats and I have worked tirelessly towards Georgia's membership in the European Union and NATO, as well as strengthening ties with strategic partners. In light of the fact that more than 20% of our country's territory is occupied by Russia, deepening our relationships with Western allies is of special importance. Returning to the European family is a historic choice for our country, and there is no alternative to Georgia's full membership in European and Euro-Atlantic structures."

A joint statement has been issued by 156 employees of the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth of Georgia and its affiliated bodies.

"We believe that yesterday's announcement to defer Georgia's accession negotiations with the European Union until 2028 contradicts the country's strategic interests and violates Article 78 of the Constitution of Georgia. Therefore, exercising our freedom of expression, we declare our commitment to Georgia's course of European and Euro-Atlantic integration," stated the employees of the Ministry.

Additionally, 48 current employees of the Ministry of Defense released a joint statement on November 29, which is gaining support. The statement emphasizes, "The primary duty of the employees of the Ministry of Defense is to strengthen state security, enhance defense capabilities, and remain loyal to the Constitution of Georgia."

"For many years, the Ministry of Defense of Georgia has effectively served the country's national interests by building defense forces and promoting Georgia's European and Euro-Atlantic integration. This integration is the only viable path to further strengthen the country’s security and sovereignty, and it is a top priority in our foreign and security policy, as outlined in the Constitution and various national and departmental documents. Recognizing the importance of cooperation with European and Euro-Atlantic structures, we reaffirm our commitment to the obligations stated in Article 78 of the Constitution of Georgia," the statement concludes with, "We serve Georgia!"

Twenty-four professors and teachers from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at Tbilisi State University have also reacted to recent developments. "We, the professors and teachers of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, believe that European integration is a historical and indispensable path for Georgia. A clear example of this is our higher education system's close integration with the Bologna Process since 2005. For these and other reasons, we find it unjustified for the Georgian government to suspend negotiations with the European Union. We urge the government to continue its multi-generational efforts toward European integration and to uphold Article 78 of the Constitution of Georgia, which mandates that 'the constitutional bodies of Georgia shall take all measures to ensure the full integration of Georgia into the European Union and NATO.'" Employees of the Public Broadcaster's Adjara Television and Radio have also protested, stating, "Article 78 of the Constitution obliges constitutional bodies to take all measures for integration into European and Euro-Atlantic structures." "We believe that the Georgian government's decision to suspend negotiations with the European Union until 2028 contradicts the Constitution and the will of the Georgian people, as expressed in numerous protest rallies," they stated, also addressing violence against journalists: "We believe that violent and anti-constitutional actions harm the entire country and its future. Now more than ever, our work must remain independent of party influence. We firmly uphold the values of public broadcasting free from state interference, which includes asking critical questions and objectively covering the processes occurring within the country."
