Following President Salome Zourabichvili’s briefing, opposition leaders have pledged to continue their protests on Chavchavadze Avenue. The opposition also expressed support for the president’s proposed plan to address the election crisis.
“We remain here for the next 24 hours and will keep fighting until a great victory,” stated Giorgi Vashadze, leader of Unity – National Movement, during the protest. Vashadze emphasized the opposition’s responsibility and determination to continue the struggle until the Georgian people prevail. “The elections have no recognition inside or outside the country. Today, Georgia is governed by self-proclaimed leaders. Our fight will persist to the end for the people to win,” he added.
Nika Melia, leader of the Coalition for Change, echoed these sentiments, stressing the importance of intensifying the protests. “We are united by a force that has transformed anger into great motivation. We have agreed on a future where Georgian citizens, not oligarchs and their clans, determine the fate of the state,” Melia stated.
Melia highlighted plans to expand the protest movement across Tbilisi. “We will continue our sustained protest near the university area, aiming for it to grow stronger. Our goal is to ensure that the entire city is engulfed in protest. Many such protest hubs must emerge,” he declared.
Opposition leaders have reiterated their commitment to ongoing demonstrations, signaling a growing movement in the capital.
On November 18 Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili proposed a plan to address the post-election crisis, emphasizing the need for new elections following an international investigation into alleged irregularities, electoral reforms, and the creation of a special court for election disputes. She called for maintaining the political status quo as of October 26 to avoid instability and highlighted the importance of international support, noting her ongoing efforts to secure global backing for these measures.
