The last several nights have seen protests in some Italian cities, reflecting anger about overnight curfews in some of Italy’s regions. Nationwide restrictions began this week, closing down gyms, pools, cinemas and theatres. Restaurants are required to close before dinner hour. Demonstrators gathered in front in the central People’s Square and were charged by the Italian police with water cannons because the demonstration was not authorised. Several demonstrators were surprised by the charge. Social tension is rising in the country, with increasing protests, some of them violent, that have erupted in many cities in the past days. Italy on Tuesday registered nearly 22,000 confirmed coronavirus cases since the previous day, its highest one-day total in the pandemic.

Supporters of Georgia’s opposition staged a rally outside the country’s parliament in Tbilisi on Sunday, protesting against the general election results.

Footage shows thousands of people marching through the capital blocking its main Rustaveli avenue and demanding a re-run. Meanwhile, images filmed in the evening captured hundreds protesting around the residence of Georgian Dream party leader Bidzina Ivanishvili. Georgian opposition leaders considered the results illegitimate and urged people to take part in the protest. Former president and opposition leader Mikheil Saakashvili urged his supporters to take to the streets, accusing the ruling party of rigging the vote. International monitors from the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the NATO Parliamentary Assembly described the election as competitive adding that “fundamental freedoms were respected”, however, some local election observers reported multiple irregularities. Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili said that the vote was peaceful, democratic, and fair. Forty-eight parties and two blocs took part in the parliamentary elections. Voters were choosing candidates for a four-year term through a mixed model - 120 MPs were elected through the proportional voting system and 30 through a majoritarian one.
