Two Protest Rallies to be Held in Tbilisi Today
Two rallies will be held in front of the parliament and the Radisson Hotel in Tbilisi today regarding the parliament’s rejection of the electoral bill aimed to move from a mixed electoral system to a proportional one.
Opposition and civil movement representatives started gathering in front of the Parliament building at 15:00. Their demand is: "Conduct of early parliamentary elections under an interim government and impartial election administration."
A large number of law enforcers are mobilized around the parliament building in connection with today's rally.
In addition to law enforcement, fire rescue brigades are also mobilized.
Supporters of the Alliance of Patriots also plan to hold a rally in front of the Radisson Hotel at 17:00. As Irma Inashvili, one of the leaders of the Alliance of Patriots, said, their main demand is that the Georgian Dream leave the government.
People have been blocking Rustaveli Avenue for several days now, demanding snap proportional elections conducted by an interim government.
