Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili has issued a video address, urging the anti-transparency bill protesters to leave the Parliament gates [untouched] as “nothing happens there anymore; this law has already been passed its second reading.”
The President said, “Our fight is going through the elections, and the cancellation of all the laws passed recently by this government which, one after the other, separate us from the European path.”
“I’m following tonight’s events from the palace and I’m with you, as I’ve said many times. The whole world is watching us and today’s remarks show the mood, attitude, and purpose of the people of Georgia. This is the greatest force for us to win the long-term struggle that ends at the elections, that Georgia will not be Russia and will never be Russia.
I want to appeal to those warm-hearted young people who are sharing their energy with us at this level today. I want to tell them that some things are not necessary, leave the gates of the parliament [alone], nothing is happening there anymore, this law has already been endorsed its second reading,” Zourabichvili stated.
