A physical confrontation occurred between rally participants and police on Chichinadze Street, the area adjacent to the Georgian Parliament building, 1tv.ge reports.
The rally participants claim that law enforcement officers are trying to force them to leave Chichinadze Street, where they are now located.
“They are already jazzing hands. They have moved on to hooliganism. We won’t leave it like that. Today’s night will end differently, I promise this to the Georgian population,” said one of the rally participants.
Leaders of the opposition parties Nika Melia, Nika Gvaramia, Sofo Japaridze and others are present at the scene.
The Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili announced at the plenary that the political debate on the draft law “On the transparency of foreign influence” in the Parliament is likely to continue tomorrow.
“It’s not the first time we considered the issue while voting is postponed for another time. The political debates may dominate today’s session,” he mentioned.
Papuashvili also noted that the first reading cannot be voted on due to the regulations, as the session should end at 9 p.m.
