According to the member of the "Unity of National Movement," Khatia Dekanoidze, the "Georgian Dream" brought public officials to the April 9 Memorial to "artificially create a confrontation between the mothers and family members of prisoners and the people."

"Ivanishvili wants to finally hand over Georgia to Russia and have the country be under its influence. He is doing everything to expel people from the country, arrest them, push the youth out, leave people in hardship, and put them in the most difficult situations, while only he and his kleptocratic oligarchic regime remain well. These are the family members of prisoners, and what happened here is that members of 'Georgian Dream' and public officials were brought to artificially create a confrontation between people, the mothers and family members of prisoners. It's unbelievable what this regime is capable of. Therefore, for us, this struggle continues. Of course, April 9, in addition to the tragedy, is also a great celebration of our independence, and we continue to fight for independence," Khatia Dekanoidze told InterPressNews.

There was recently a commotion near the Georgian Parliament, where citizens gather by the memorial for the 9 victims. The citizens clashed verbally. According to them, some of the participants of the rally were preventing people from reaching the memorial.
