2020-10-13 On September 19, a physical and verbal confrontation took place in a square near Gldaniskhevi settlement N1. The square has been recently rehabilitated by Gldani District Gamgeoba and local GD members have placed flags with the party’s symbols in it. About ten representatives of the Labor Party youth organization came to the square and tried to replace party flags by flags of Georgia, to which GD supporters protested. The disagreement grew into a physical and verbal confrontation. The incident was defused after the police patrol interfered. The sides were taken to a police station for questioning and investigation was initiated in connection to facts of verbal and physical confrontation by both sides. Head of the GD regional organization in Gldani, Beka Mikautadze believes that the incident was a planned provocation. In an interview with ISFED, he said Gldani residents placed flags on their own initiative and there was nothing illegal about it.
