Voting on the draft budget for 2022 is taking place in the Batumi City Council against the background of controversy. The controversy is at several locations in the City Council.
Law enforcers forced opposition MPs Elguja Bagrationi and Levan Natadze to leave the City Council building by force. At the same time, the elected MP Rezo Kharazi was expelled from the territory near the hall.
A live police cordon stands in front of the courtroom. They did not let the opposition inside, which led to several confrontations.
