"We are expecting a lot of people, and we are confident that the central part of the capital will be filled with our supporters. Our society, Western partners, and international observers will once again see the tremendous support for the ruling team," said Givi Mikanadze, a member of Georgian Dream, at today's briefing.
According to opposition representatives, plans are in place to mobilize administrative resources from across the country for the demonstration. Giorgi Kiladze, a member of the Coalition for Change, stated that employees from various LEPLs and NNLEs, as well as school and kindergarten teachers, are being coerced into attending the Georgian Dream event in Kutaisi.
"We have communicated with a certain number of them who, in private conversations, openly mention the names of those who threaten to terminate their employment if they do not participate in this demonstration on the 23rd. I want to appeal to the Georgian Dream: you have four days left in power - act with dignity and do not strip these people of their constitutional right to freedom of choice," Kiladze said.
Three days before the ruling party's summary event, on Sunday, October 20, the Georgia Votes for European Union march took place in Tbilisi, with tens of thousands of participants.
