Opposition to establish May 15 HQ

The opposition established a headquarters to prepare for a large-scale protest to be held on May 15 in Tbilisi.

Nino Burjanadze, Leader of the opposition United Georgia party said that the headquarters unites representatives of all opposition parties. They will be dispatched to different regions and hold meetings with locals.

“We will attempt to give more incentive to locals and persuade them that the opposition does not intend to give up their demands. I am sure unity will bring the result,” Nino Burjanadze said.

The second EU-mediated attempt to solve political crises in Georgia failed earlier this week. EU mediator Christian Danielsson said he proposed a solution that puts the country’s interest first to the parties, but none of the political actors agreed on the solution.

The Georgian opposition parties that won seats in the Georgian Parliament of the 10th Convocation believe the 2020 parliamentary elections were a fraud. They have been demanding repeat parliamentary elections and the release of the United National Movement Chair, Nika Melia, and the co-founder of the TV channel Mtavari Arkhi Giorgi Rurua.
