In Tbilisi, the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia refused to allow the protestors' motorcade to reach the parliament building. This was reported by the correspondent of TASS from the place of the rally.
According to the representatives of the police, the decision was made based on the security measures of the planned protest near the parliament. Meanwhile, law enforcement officers have no problem allowing people to approach the parliament on foot.
The rally against the results of the elections in Tbilisi started on the evening of November 24. The protesters gathered in Republic Square, not far from the parliament building, and then decided to march towards the legislative building. As the protesters say, they plan to stay at the parliament at night so that the deputies do not hold the first session of the 11th convocation parliament formed as a result of the elections on November 25.
Parliamentary elections in Georgia were held on October 26, for the first time through electronic ballot boxes. According to the data of the Central Electoral Commission, the ruling "Georgian Dream" party collected 53.93 percent of the votes, won and received the right to form a government. All the opposition parties that entered the parliament refused to recognize the results of the elections, because they consider them to be falsified. Opposition leaders have been holding protests since November 4 and are preparing to force the authorities to call new elections.
