Anti-Namakhvani protest at Governmental Administration

18:56, 17.04.2021

Anti-Namakhvani HPP protest is underway at the Governmental Administration in Tbilisi. Protesters express solidarity to the so-called Rioni Gorge Guards. Civil activists organized the protest. The protest organizers plan to stay on the territory overnight.

The protesters doubt that the police will permit them to set up tents. However, 20-30 people are decided to stay there.

“We are participants of a peaceful protest. We have arguments that the HPP agreement is anti-statehood,” one of the protesters Aleksandre Paikadze said.

Anti-HPP protesters have been holding rallies for several months. The opponents of the HPP are concerned about HPP construction could harm the environment. They demand the Economy Minister’s resignation and direct involvement of PM Irakli Garibashvili in the negotiation process.
