“We are creating an organized public force, which will carry out the function of civil control and will not allow the country to deviate from the civilized development path,” the organizers of the Eternity Day of the Georgian People, who have gathered at Europe Square in downtown Tbilisi, declared.

Their statement reads the extremely destructive forces and media outlets they control act without any legal or ethical rules and serve dangerous and harmful tasks of seizing power at all costs.

“Demonstrative violence and insults perpetrated by politically engaged minority groups in Tbilisi streets, and a daily bacchanalia organized by affiliated with them well-funded media outlets, are aimed at demoralizing and destroying the state institutions. The public sees unbridled propaganda, fake news, slander, manipulation of human consciousness, psychological and moral pressure, attempts to sow mass panic in the Georgian media space, and these have nothing in common with the values ​​of sound criticism and political freedom of speech. All these quench the unquenchable thirst for social and political revenge of adventurer politicians. The current situation is aggravated by a pandemic, worsened socio-economic background and the inability of the government to exercise the sovereign right of the state, which is to maintain public order and ensure stability. We recognize that such destructive processes and ineffective governance can lead to chaos and disorder in the country. We demand the government to fulfil its mandate and ensure order, the rule of law, peace and the dignity of every human being. We, the active part of the society, in our turn, will create an organized public force, which would carry out the function of civil control and would not allow the country to deviate from the civilized development path,” the statement reads.
