"Tomorrow, the Parliament of the 11th convocation of Georgia will convene with a one-party composition that lacks the support and trust of the majority of society. This parliament cannot represent the will of the Georgian people!
Moreover, representatives of the diplomatic corps will not attend tomorrow's session. This parliament does not even enjoy international recognition.
Therefore, tomorrow, the peaceful voice of the Georgian people must be heard outside the Parliament of Georgia, not within its meeting hall.
The outraged voice of the Georgian people must reach those who have stolen their choice, and we must demonstrate to our international friends where the Georgian people stand and what their will is. We, therefore, call on our supporters to join us in a peaceful protest outside the Parliament of Georgia tomorrow, ensuring that our peaceful voice is heard by all," reads the statement issued by the party.
On November 25, Georgian Dream plans to hold the first session of parliament and assert its authority without the president officially convening the session, as required by the constitution. The legitimacy of this parliament is not recognized by the opposition parties, which, according to data from the Central Election Commission, surpassed the electoral threshold, nor by President Salome Zourabichvili.
Since Sunday evening, representatives of the opposition, along with their supporters, have been gathering in front of the parliament building and intend to spend the night there.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has warned the organizers and participants of the protest that blocking the parliament building constitutes a criminal offense punishable by up to four years of imprisonment.
