"We said yesterday that we have started a resistance movement. This is not a one-day, two-hour, or three-hour event. We, the leaders – by leaders, I mean those who carry the responsibility and the mandate given by you – will stand here, non-stop. We will be here all the time. Everything will be organized, everything will be in place, and we will not move from here.
At 7 o'clock, we call on the public to gather for a large meeting to inform you of our next steps. The more people come and speak throughout the day, the better, but we are expecting you all at 7 o'clock," said Elene Khoshtaria, one of the leaders of the Coalition for Change.
Khatia Dekanoidze, leader of the Unity - National Movement, also made a statement. "The plan is as follows: everyone who is angry with you – and I believe we have nothing more important to do than serve our homeland today – should come here. At 7 o'clock, we need to gather as many people as possible for a protest, an informational meeting. It will be crucial, and of course, we must not lose this key momentum of protest and resistance," she said.
On November 17, at 8:00 p.m., a 24-hour continuous protest began on Chavchavadze Avenue in Tbilisi, organized by the opposition unions Unity - National Movement and Coalition for Change. Members of Gakharia for Georgia and Strong Georgia joined the protest, which is demanding re-parliamentary elections. Due to the protest, Varaziskhevi and Chavchavadze avenues are closed.
