The discussion in this group also addressed the issue of local self-government elections—participating in them is not just a mistake; it is a profound insult to the society that has been gathering on Rustaveli Avenue for months, said Nika Melia, one of the leaders of the “Coalition for Change,” to journalists after a meeting with Paata Burchuladze, part of the opposition, and civil society.

According to Melia, this organizational group will ensure public involvement in resolving the crisis in the country.

“We discussed important issues here. The society here is diverse, with different societal groups and opposition-minded individuals who want to overcome the crisis. Overcoming the crisis is only possible through public involvement. The discussion is about how this organizational group can facilitate and ensure public participation, not about the merits of local self-government elections but about the merits of parliamentary elections.
