Ivanishvili has planned an artificial counter-rally. While on the other side is the society, the young people who come out against the Russian law, and this protest is natural. This was also the case in 2003, when the Shevardnadze-Abashidze unity had no more resources and people were brought by trains, which was finally culminated with the Rose Revolution, - said the Secretary General of the United National Movement, Petre Tsiskarishvili.
According to him, the recent protests are a natural protest and he believes that the April 29 rally was planned by the ruling party and the honorary chairman of Georgian Dream, Bidzina Ivanishvili, which will be a futile rally.
"Everyone should understand that when the Georgian society, young people come out against the Russian law, this is a natural protest. These protests do not take place under anyone's instructions or orders, while when the government plans a countermeasure, it is an absolutely artificial gathering of people, which has nothing to do with natural political demands or statements. I am sure that 90 percent of people, an administrative resource brought there, the vast majority of them will be pro-European, but they will be forced to stand there because of their jobs. People who have the same mood are instructed to act differently, although the fact is that an artificial, meaningless counter-rally was planned by Bidzina Ivanishvili and his Dream. While the Georgian society stands on the other side, our young people represent the future, national interests and they fight for a strong, European, progressive Georgia.
We remember the period, in the days before the Rose Revolution, when the Shevardnadze-Abashidze unity had no more resources, and the whole society was mobilized to save the real result of the elections, and rallies were organized against those rigged elections. They brought several thousand people with trains, mainly from Adjara, put them on Rustaveli and that's why they angered the society, especially the city of Tbilisi, young people, and this was followed by even stronger protesters, which culminated on November 23," said Petre Ciskarishvili.
For information, Georgian Dream is planning a public gathering in front of the Georgian Parliament building on April 29.
