On the night of November 28, a metal fence appeared near the Georgian parliament building in the center of Tbilisi so that the protesters could not get closer to the gates of the state institution.
During this time, for activists during a clash near the parliament building, where the opposition once again tried to block all entrances and arrange “corridors of shame” for members of the ruling Georgian Dream party, three activists of youth organizations were detained. The detainees were soon released, but after they were taken to another quarter of the Georgian capital by police car.
Deputies from the “Georgian Dream” still managed to get into the building under police protection. At the same time, the demonstrators chanted “slaves” to them.
The protesters could not break through the fence to parliament. Vazha Siradze, the head of the Tbilisi police, warned that only deputies and some staff members would be allowed into the building.
The Speaker of the Parliament, Archil Talakvadze, in a special statement thanked the police for “efforts aimed at ensuring the work of the country’s most important government authority.” The chairman of the political council of the party, Mikhail Saakashvili, “Unified National Movement” (UNM) Nikanor Melia, in response, called it “a shame for the authorities” that they “are forced to build fences to deter a fair protest of the people.”
In turn, Saakashvili considers the fence the “New Berlin Wall”.
