The creation of a new people's movement was announced at the rally in front of the Parliament of Georgia yesterday.
As Shota Dighmelashvili, an activist of the Movement "Shame", said in his speech at the rally on Rustaveli Avenue, the new people's movement "will return the homeland to Europe."
"Citizens gathered here realize that the power against the enemy is in unity. We unite with the idea of a European future and start a new people's movement that will bring our homeland back to Europe. Every citizen, whoever s/he may be, artist, scientist, soldier, teacher, policeman, engineer, public servant, for all those for whom the sacrifices made by generations for independence are important, let us unite for the national goal - Georgia in the European Union!" Shota Dighmelashvili said.
At the same time, he said, the new movement will be presented on June 24, after the European Council announces its decision on Georgia. According to him, people will be at the head of the new movement.
"On June 24, 2022, the European Union will announce its decision regarding Georgia and we will gather here again. This meeting will be not only to turn our love for European way of rule, but also to turn our anger towards oligarchic rule. Therefore, on June 24, a new movement will be presented to you, which will be led by you, the people. Our call is to create a national council of the people's movement with equal, unanimous parity, but with a majority of civil society votes, that unites us all, civil movements and groups, NGOs, journalists and media unions, political parties, student, cultural and professional unions. Based on the consensus of all the groups included in it, the new civil movement will make demands towards the government. Failure to comply with our demands will lead to mass disobedience, all regions and cities of Georgia will stand up, so that a wave of non-violent resistance will tear down all those who stand as obstacles on our way to Europe," Dighmelashvili said.
