Brawl erupts in Georgian parliament during annual address

On June 26, 2026, a physical altercation occurred in the Parliament of Georgia during the final session of the spring sitting. The brawl took place following the annual government report presented by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze. Lawmakers from the ruling Georgian Dream party and the opposition For Georgia party were recorded exchanging punches. The confrontation lasted for several minutes before order was restored within the chamber. The tension is linked to the ongoing debate over the controversial foreign agent law, which has sparked weeks of mass protests in the country. Both male and female members of parliament were involved in the incident. Video footage of the fight was widely circulated by various media outlets after the session concluded.
