Opponents of Tbilisi Pride arrive in the area where the first event of the Pride Week is planned

At the moment, the opponents of Tbilisi Pride are holding a rally. They arrived in the area where the first event of Pride Week is planned. Protesters are demanding the Pride Week not to be held.

Police are mobilized on the spot.

According to one of the opponents of the Week, Guram Palavandishvili, the screening of the film is planned during Pride Week and it is generally "unacceptable that ambassadors, parliamentarians and children celebrate it."

"We are not touching anyone physically, and if the egg hits the American ambassador, it will be worthy. I am not going to do this personally, but it is possible, it always happens - when Pozner, a 90-year-old man, is thrown... In reality, we want this week not to take place. No one is chasing them, we want to correct them. If the police do not help, they will not be able to enter to watch the movie", - said Guram Palavandishvili.

It should be noted that the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued a statement today, according to which the MIA "will implement appropriate measures to ensure that the event scheduled for July 1 is held in a safe format, to maintain the rule of law and ensure the right to the freedom of expression and assembly of each person, which will not exceed the limits prescribed by law.".

The agency urges everyone to abide by the law and obey the lawful demands of the police.
