Participants in the rally several times clashed with the police, which drove them from the entrances to parliament.
On Tuesday, near the walls of parliament, about a hundred supporters of opposition parties and civic activists hold a rally against the appointment of Irakli Shotadze as the Prosecutor General of Georgia.
“Today, the majority in the Georgian parliament must make another shameful decision. It always makes conflicting and criminal decisions for the country. Today they are meeting and in all likelihood will approve Shotadze as the prosecutor general. This is exactly what we are protesting,” said Zaal Udumashvili, one of the leaders of the opposition party United National Movement.
Shotadze already headed the Georgian Prosecutor General’s Office and resigned in May 2018 after mass rallies related to dissatisfaction with the work of the Prosecutor General’s Office in solving the murder of a 16-year-old teenager David Saralidze. The opposition believes that a person who resigned on the background of protests should not again return to this position.
