A march has begun from Republic Square towards the Parliament building, organized by internally displaced persons from occupied territories. The participants of the march have partially blocked the road.

Before the start of the march, the participants sang the national anthem of Georgia.

Slogans heard during the protest include: “Georgia”, “Abkhazia is Georgia”, and “No to Russia”.

The protesters have brought banners with inscriptions such as: “Gali is here”, “Sukhumi is here”, “Gagra is here”, “Call for new elections”, and more.

One of the participants stated, "This government is illegitimate and must go."

“I am a displaced person from Abkhazia. We have been waiting for a dignified return to Abkhazia for over 30 years. When the government tells us that we must apologize to the separatists, from that day on, we consider that government to be illegitimate. This government is illegitimate and must go,” the participant added.

Today, several other protests and marches are planned in Tbilisi, including: the artists' march, the observers' march, the ESM march for Europe, protests by the players and supporters of “What? Where? When?”, and the march of veterinarians and animal lovers.

For reference, citizens are protesting the Georgian Dream party's decision on November 28, according to which Georgia will not put the issue of opening negotiations with the European Union on the agenda until the end of 2028. Their demand remains unchanged: the holding of new elections and the release of those detained during the protests. Protests have been ongoing in the capital and several cities for 18 days.
