Former UNM leader Gigi Ugulava speaks of forgiveness, beginning of big victory

Gigi Ugulava, one of the former leaders of the UNM party, former Tbilisi Mayor and close ally of the ex-president, believes 18 years after the 2003 Rose Revolution, the young generation is deprived of history.

Addressing the protesters on the Freedom Square, Ugulava stated Georgian people, led by their champion, their locomotive made changes to the fate of their country, but Putin (Russian President) and Bidzina Ivanishvili (former GD Chair) sent this locomotive behind bars.

Ugulava believes Mikheil Saakashvili should be the last political prisoner in the country. Ugulava tagged the rally as a struggle for independent court and free elections.

“Today should be the day of forgiveness and at the same time the beginning of big victory, freedom, welfare and Georgia’s future,” he said. Ugulava claimed that no victory could be achieved if people lose faith though everybody is fed up with filthiness taking place in this country.

The rally organized by the opposition United National Movement (UNM) party under the slogan Free Misha is underway at Freedom Square in Tbilisi in support and solidarity with imprisoned ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili. UNM supporters and people arrived from different regions of Georgia to join the protest.
