On December 10, Giorgi Chkheidze, a businessman and former Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Georgia from 2016 to 2018 under Georgian Dream, published a letter labeling the suspension of EU accession as "national treason" and accusing Bidzina Ivanishvili, the party's patron, of consolidating power, dismantling democracy, and isolating Georgia from its Western partners.

Chkheidze criticized Ivanishvili for undermining democratic institutions, creating an authoritarian regime, and subjugating the judiciary while stifling political competition and fostering fear among citizens. He accused Ivanishvili of betraying Georgians’ trust by abandoning his initial promises and fostering division, deception, and authoritarianism that threatened Georgia’s development and security. He further alleged that Ivanishvili dismantled Georgia’s partnerships with the US and EU, leaving the country vulnerable to Russian influence. Chkheidze called on the public to unite in opposition to Ivanishvili instead of focusing on his subordinates, whom he described as mere "tools of the regime." He expressed confidence that the Georgian people would resist and ultimately overcome the oppressive government to achieve their aspirations for freedom.

During a briefing at the Orbeliani Palace, Salome Zourabichvili, the President of Georgia, condemned the ongoing violence in Tbilisi and across the country, highlighting widespread violations of the Georgian Constitution and international human rights laws. Zourabichvili criticized the Georgian Dream party’s proposal to simplify the dismissal of civil servants, particularly after they publicly criticized Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze’s decision to postpone Georgia’s EU integration until 2028. She also denounced a legal initiative to ban mask-wearing by peaceful citizens while failing to address mask-wearing by "Titushky," alleged state-affiliated thugs and the absence of police identification at protest sites.

Zourabichvili condemned the Ministry of Internal Affairs for proposing a hiring policy that removes diploma requirements, claiming it was intended to facilitate the recruitment of "titushky" [hired thugs in Georgian]. She also criticized the appointment of unqualified figures to symbolic positions of power, linking it to a broader pattern of undermining Georgia’s institutions. Referring to the State Security Service of Georgia's (SSSG) statement warning of alleged plans for "extreme violence" and the "sacrifice of 2-3 people" to disrupt the presidential inauguration, Zourabichvili said it aimed to terrorize citizens. She asserted that human rights violations posed a grave threat to Georgia’s future, emphasizing that "the future of Georgia, but also the future of this region, is being decided." On International Human Rights Day, she sent a report to international partners and human rights organizations documenting state reprisals against citizens and called for an internationally led monitoring mission to observe judicial proceedings.

On December 10, the Georgian Parliament, with 88 votes in favor, approved the 2025 state budget presented by newly appointed Finance Minister Lasha Khutsishvili. The budget projects economic growth of 6%, maintains a consistent 3% deflator rate, and forecasts an average inflation rate of 1%. The total budget allocation increased by GEL 895.2 million, bringing the total to GEL 27.9 billion (USD 9.9 billion).

On the same day, Claude Kern, a French rapporteur from the ALDE group, and Edite Estrela, a Portuguese rapporteur from the SOC group for the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), expressed "deep concern" over the arrests of opposition members and activists, as well as police raids on their homes and offices. They condemned police brutality against journalists and peaceful demonstrators, stating that "there seems to be a sense of impunity for police violence and excessive use of force against protesters and journalists, which is unacceptable." The rapporteurs urged Georgian authorities to respect freedom of expression and assembly and to investigate reports of police violence transparently, holding those responsible accountable. According to a PACE press release, the rapporteurs will conduct a fact-finding mission to Tbilisi in early January.
