Levan Tsutskiridze - Georgian Dream has lost its legitimacy, protests must continue, both on Rustaveli and in other cities

After a year, as we can see, society has emerged as a militant civil society that can fight to protect the constitution and the idea, - one of the leaders of Freedom Square, Levan Tsutskiridze, told Interpressnews during the protest.

When asked what results the statement made by Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze a year ago brought to the country and what challenges it faces, Tsutskiridze replied that it brought complete isolation to the country.

"This was a direct statement that Georgian Dream prefers the country to be isolated, abandoned by its friends, so that it can more easily use it for its own corrupt purposes. Georgian Dream is not interested in anything else, they are only interested in money and power." After a year, as we can see, society has formed as a militant civil society that can fight to protect the constitution and the idea and that does not need leaders. Despite the fact that the corrupt and autocratic organization Georgian Dream still holds power, Georgian society is the complete opposite of it, it is a democratic, diverse and militant society," Tsutskiridze said.

When asked how the protest can continue, Tsutskiridze answered that "the protest must continue, both on Rustaveli and in other cities."

"This protest brought, first of all, our unification, the formation of a solidary and militant society, as I have already said, but as I have said, Georgian Dream has completely lost its legitimacy, it no longer has democratic legitimacy, nor international nor moral legitimacy, therefore this protest must continue, both on Rustaveli and elsewhere, in other cities. We need to get more people involved in this protest. This regime has nothing left, what keeps it going is fear, in a certain part of society. This protest, this heroic struggle, is breaking this fear, eventually this fear will break everywhere," Tsutskiridze said.

According to Tsutskiridze, people, politicians, and NGOs protesting today have more in common than they have differences, despite the fact that the Georgian Dream is trying to divide them.

The Georgian Dream is trying to build walls in society, it is trying to divide us, to say - politicians are separate, people are separate, NGOs, independent journalists are separate. This is the danger, the trap. We, politicians, NGOs, and activists, are all members of the same society and we have more in common than we have differences. We must see this and not allow the Georgian Dream to win this propaganda," Tsutskiridze said.
