Representatives of NGOs and activists issued a joint statement in response to the rally organized by the Georgian Dream on April 29.

“The Government has openly declared that with the adoption of the Russian law they are announcing repression against the people. Everyone clearly understood that the purpose of the adoption of this law is not the notorious “transparency”.

We oppose the attempt to pass the law in the second reading, we want to show the Government once again that betraying the Constitution and rejecting the European Union with this Russian law will never be the choice of the Georgian people. We call on the political parties to fulfill their duty to the people and to fight even harder against the Russian law in the parliament. We call on everyone, every Georgian citizen who cares about the independence of the country, the Constitution and the European path of Georgia, to gather in front of the Parliament at 19:00.

We will keep an eye on how the government will act and we will act in accordance to the concurrent situation, in accordance with the return of the country to the constitutional framework and the declared will of the Georgian people”, – reads the Parliament of Georgia elects Giorgi Kalandarishvili to the post of CEC Chairman
