A public march is scheduled in Tbilisi for December 9. As Giorgi Mshvenieradze. Director of Democracy Defenders, told InterPressNews, the main goal of the mentioned march is for the Georgian society to once again send its voice to Europe before the status is granted.
According to Giorgi Mshvenieradze, for this purpose, civil society organizations are meeting the ambassadors of all 27 states and conveying to them the wishes of more than 70 civil society organizations.
"When we already have a positive recommendation from the European Commission regarding the status at the expense of the Georgian people, it is important for this strong voice to once again reach the leaders of all 27 EU states from Georgia.
For this purpose, we, civil society organizations, are meeting with the ambassadors of all 27 states and we are conveying to them the desire of more than 70 civil society organizations to support Georgia in this decision. Since some states are skeptical about this issue, they need an additional argument why they should support Georgia. It will be a big signal to send a strong message from Georgia, which is planned in the form of a march.
More than 70 non-governmental organizations have written to the foreign ministers of all 27 states. We are meeting ambassadors today, we have met before and we will meet in the future. We will try to ensure that all of them have our letter before the meeting of the foreign ministers", said Giorgi Mshvenieradze.
According to him, the march will start on December 9, at 14:00, from Republic Square and will move to Europe Square, where the world's largest EU flag will be unfurled.
"It should be noted that each star of this flag is being sewn in different regions of Georgia as a symbol of the unity of the Georgian people relating to the issue of integration with the European Union.
Every citizen will be able to participate in the march, regardless of political opinion. The main thing is to support the EU membership", Giorgi Mshvenieradze said.
